1. Pastor Bethany asked, “Do we trust God or do we trust money?” What area of your life right now most challenges your trust in God? What does it look like to practically choose trust over control?
2. Read Romans 12:1–2. Paul says true worship is offering our bodies as a living sacrifice and being transformed by the renewing of our minds. In what ways can worship be expressed beyond singing? What might God be inviting you to surrender as an act of worship?
3. Read 1 Timothy 6:6–10. Paul writes that “godliness with contentment is great gain.” How does this contrast with what our culture defines as “gain” or success? What helps you cultivate contentment?
4. Read Matthew 6:25–34. Jesus says, “Do not worry… Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.” What does seeking His kingdom first look like in daily life—especially around money, work, or security?
5. Augustine said, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” What are some “good things” that can become “ultimate things” in your life—things that might take God’s rightful place? How can we keep our love for God above all else?
6. What would it look like to say, “God, I trust You” in that area this week? How can your group pray for or support you in that?
7. End in prayer for your FRANCES.
