A Contribution A Point of Contact Applying God's Word to Life Who is somebody that you admire for their generosity? What is it in someone that makes them a generous person? When God asks the people (Exodus 25:2) for an offering He asks it from those who are willing. Why do you think He makes it voluntary? What connection do you make between giving and worship? How would you describe the desire of God to dwell with His people and His exacting standards of tabernacle construction? He has a desire while also having exacting requirements. Why? How does voluntary submission and required obedience work together in your walk with God? How does our culture work against voluntary submission and required obedience and how do we push back against culture? What changes in attitude or actions has God moved in your heart do? *Announcements Women’s Prayer Brunch: Saturday, November 8 at 10:00 a.m. at Mary Johnson’s home (310 10th Ave NW Glenwood, MN).
