Reflection & Discussion

Warm-up. Where did you grow up?

Read Duet 8:10-20; Matt 6:19-24; Eph 4:28 Ask God to bless your study.

1. Before the sermon, how would you have rated your obedience to the eighth commandment? After hearing it, how would you rate yourself? Any new insights?

2. Think of your earliest memory of stealing. What did you steal? What did you learn as a result? Think of a time someone stole from you. How did you feel about it?

3. What forms of stealing do most people excuse? Why do they seem acceptable? Why are they actually sinful?

4. How is stealing related to the exhortation, “Owe no one anything, except to love each other...” (Romans 13:8)?

5. Do you agree that harming someone’s reputation is worse than their wallet being stolen? Why or why not?

6. How is gambling a violation of the eighth commandment?

7. In what ways do we rob God (Haggai 1:2-11; Mal 3:8-12)?

8. What act of generosity is the Spirit prompting you toward? What small act of faithfulness might you perform this week with regard to giving of your (God’s) resources?
