A Better Question | Week 3

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

1. What is one thing you are truly passionate about that doesn't directly benefit you, and how does it make you feel when you focus on it?

2. When you hear the term “pleonexia” (greed), what is your initial reaction, and how do you see it manifesting in society today?

3. In the parable, the rich man assumes that his surplus is for his consumption. How do you relate to the idea of “the consumption assumption” in your own life?

4. How does greed subtly impact your choices or perspective, especially when it comes to time, resources, or relationships?

5. Reflecting on Jesus' warning about greed, do you think you’ve ever fallen into the trap of presuming too much on the future? How so?

6. What are some practical ways you can ensure that your life is becoming a means to an end that doesn’t end with you?

7. How can we make sure we’re being “rich toward God” in our day-to-day actions, even in small ways?

8. Think of a time when you did something that benefited someone else without expecting anything in return. How did that feel, and what did you learn from the experience?

9. Why do you think Jesus emphasizes the importance of using our time, resources, and influence for others, rather than hoarding them for ourselves?

10. What is one step you could take this week to begin living more purposefully, with a focus on others instead of yourself?
