Sermon Application Questions:

1. How can you reconcile being sensible (ch. 10 - calm, realistic, careful) with being joyfully bold (ch. 11)? How does God use these two virtues in tandem?
2. Why would God want us to be generous when He doesn’t need our generosity (Ps. 50:12; Rom. 11:35)? (Prov. 3:9-10; 31:20; Luke 6:30-38; 2 Cor. 9:6-15; Phil. 4:15-19) How is generosity bold? (John 12:2; Matt. 7:2; Acts 11:27-30)
3. How can you both risk and be wise? How do you know when a risk is foolish?  (Eph. 5:15-17; Gal. 6:7-10; 1 Thess. 5:14-18)
4. What part do faith and trust in God play in living, and giving, boldly? (2 Cor. 5:6-10; 8:1-15; 10:1-6; 11:3; 12:15; 13:5)
