Read Matthew 6:1-4
GROUP
Be an armchair psychologist: Why do you think people naturally want others’ attention when they give? Be honest - have you ever given, hoping that someone would know?
Do you think “giving to get a reward” (Matt 6:4) is a wrong motivation? Defend your answer.
What are the rewards God gives “secret” givers? Be specific.
BREAKOUT
Pray for one another to give as Christ commanded - secretly.
