Be Mastered by the Passion to Give

1. In encouraging the Corinthian church to give, Paul mentioned the churches in Macedonia. How did they support the church at Jerusalem? (v.1-5)

2. Why do you think the churches of Macedonia give in such a manner even though they were afflicted and poor? How does this reflect the grace of Jesus Christ? (v.8-9)

3. Do you have the overflowing joy in the grace of God? Can this be seen in the way you manage your wealth (among others)? What changes do you need to make in your life to reflect that?
