Life Group - Leader Guides

Everything in our world changes every few years. New inventions change every aspect of daily living much faster than one decade or one generation. So how can we trust that the Bible is still reliable, relevant, and trustworthy as a manual for living?

This week, let’s consider how the last week of Jesus’ life affects us all year long. Take time, even if your Life Group doesn’t meet, to meditate on the events that changed everything.

This weekend is known as Palm Sunday. It starts off Holy Week for Christians all over the world. In the Jewish world, this week leads up to the Feast of Passover. The time of Christ’s great sacrifice is near. As we read anew of Jesus’ triumphal approach to Jerusalem, being hailed as the “Son of David” and worshipped by the crowd, what does it have to do with us? Who do you say Jesus is?

This message is based on one of the most confusing parables of Jesus. Yet it teaches us about our use of the Master’s resources and how God intends our wealth to be used for both building the Kingdom and our own good. Part of our spiritual growth includes how we use our treasure for eternal influence. Let’s learn how our finances can affect our legacy.

If you want your life to matter—both today and for eternity—you must use it wisely. That means making the most of your time, your talents, your giftedness. We’ll study the Parable of the Talents and the life of King David to see how to do exactly that!
