Sermon Application Questions

As Brian mentioned, gluttony is consuming and keeping more than you... (fill in the blank)

In what ways do you see the sin of gluttony around you? In what ways do you see it in your own life?

Have you ever considered that maybe it wasn't God, but the devil, who gives you the opportunity to keep more than you need? What do you think about this possibility in your own life? (Consider Jesus' temptation in the wilderness)

Brian taught us that self-denial is the remedy for gluttony, but we have made a "backroom deal" to swap self-denial for generosity, even though generosity is the wrong remedy. Do you see this around you among fellow believers, or in your own life? What is the danger of this?
