Discuss as a group what the mindset it is within each member for purchases, for receiving pay, giving, etc. Really dig into how it's viewed, the associated emotions and why God might make such a big deal out of our possessions, money and all we have.
Key passages

(Discuss the good and the bad of "work" and why we do. Uncover whether within your group, work is seen as inherently evil-as in a result of the curse- or inherently good)
- 1 Peter 4:10
- Matthew 6:19-21
- Philippians 2:1-5
