QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Generosity - Coveting Abundance
-What kinds of things are done under the guise of fair dealing by people who want what belongs to someone else yet do not want to appear dishonest? How does society aid and abet such practices?
Read 1 Kings 21:1-16. How do Ahab and Jezebel covet? How are their actions dishonest?
