Are we clinging to comforts or to Christ?

Questions for Personal Reflection:

1. Share a time when a commercial/advertisement really made you want something? What was it and what did it do to make you want it?

2. Compare how the world defines success from how God defines success? Why do you think there is so much difference between the two?

3. What are some self-reflection/examination questions that could help you discern a foothold of worldliness/materialism in your life?

4. How do you use your finances and resources? What ways might you be prioritizing comfort or luxury over generosity and obedience to God?

5. The parable teaches there are eternal consequences to our choices. What can we do to be better conscious of these consequences in the decisions we make?

6. In the parable, the Rich Man’s family had “Moses and the Prophets” but ignored them. In what ways can we ignore the Word when it comes to our own lifestyle and comforts?

7. If you recognize a need to change in any of these areas, what steps can you take this week to align your heart more closely with Jesus and His commands?
