***Before you begin! Reaffirm the ‘Vegas’ rule with your group – what happens in small groups stays in small groups. This is very important to talk about every week. Encourage everyone that the environment is safe, and that there is no judgment.

3. Read Luke 12:16-21. God calls the rich man a ‘fool’ in this story. Why did God call this man a fool? What about his actions were foolish?

4. Luke 12:34 says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.” How does your view of eternity affect your view on wealth?
