Pastor Blaik J. Westhoff
1. You’ve undoubtedly heard the phrase “’tis more blessed to give then to receive.” Do you know who
said that?
2. There are times when it is good to give and there are times when it is good to receive. Think of some examples of each.
3. Why is it that Christians can find an extra measure of joy in giving?
Further Study:
1. How would you describe in your own words “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding”?
2. There is a popular bumper sticker that reads “No Jesus, No Peace. Know Jesus, Know Peace”. In verses 8 and 9 Paul makes a connection between putting “these things into practice” and “the God of peace will be with you”. How do you see the truth of these verses working in your life?
3. Can you see a connection in your offerings and service to God and the peace you have in your life? Explain.
