• What are some bad ways to view or use money?

For Discussion:

• In comparison with the rest of the world’s population, is it reasonable to say that most people in the United States meet Paul’s definition of the “rich in this present age” (1 Tim. 6:17)? Why or why not?  
• What is it about money that can lead people to become haughty/prideful (1 Tim. 6:17)? How have you seen this happen in other’s lives? In your own life?  
• What does it look like when someone starts to “set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches” (1 Tim. 6:17)?  
• In practical terms, what does it look like for someone to set his/her hopes on God over earthly riches (1 Tim. 6:17)?  
• What does it mean to truly enjoy what God provides, not in a superficial way but in a way that honors him (1 Tim. 6:17)?  
  • How does our trust in Christ free us to this kind of enjoyment?
