Discovering things that are worth more than money

Luke 16: 13, 16 – 17

Make a list of 10 things that have more value to you personally than cash.

Memorize verse 13.
If a person has two equal bosses what is likely to happen in their career?
What are some ways that money can act like a master in a person's life?
What are some steps a person can take to ensure finances are not gaining too much of a hold on their values and motives?
How have financial concerns cracked the whip in your life recently?
What are you going to do this week to gain the kind of freedom Jesus is discussing in this text.

Read verses 16 – 17.
Describe Jesus' view of history as he describes it in this passage.
What does Jesus consider to be his role in this tale of salvation history?
What is Jesus' view towards the Old Testament Scriptures?
Why does Jesus have such a high view of the Old Testament?
How should your view of the Scriptures change based on Jesus' endorsement?

Why does God demand such absolute loyalty towards him and his Kingdom?
What does God's law say about the place financial resources should have in our lives?
What role should God's law play in the life of a disciple of Jesus?
