1. In Malachi 3:6, God says, “I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.” How does God’s unchanging character shape the way you think about money, giving, and His provision in uncertain times?
  2. Verse 7 shows a pattern: “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes… Return to me, and I will return to you.” Where do you see that same pattern of drift and invitation in your own life, and what might “returning to Him” practically look like right now?
  3. God asks, “Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me,” and then says it happens “in your tithes and contributions” (v. 8). In what ways can believers today “rob God,” and how is that about more than just money?
  4. “You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you” (v. 9). How should we think about the connection between disobedience in this area and the experience of lack, frustration, or spiritual dryness—without turning this into a mechanical “give‑to‑get” formula?
  5. God’s command is “Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house” (v. 10). What might “full” and “storehouse” look like in a New Testament church context, and how do you discern what faithful, sacrificial giving looks like for you?
  6. Malachi 3:10 is unique in that God says, “Put me to the test… if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down… a blessing.” How can we respond to this invitation without sliding into prosperity‑gospel thinking, and what kinds of “blessing” should we expect God to give?
  7. God promises to “rebuke the devourer” and make them “a land of delight” so that “all nations will call you blessed” (vv. 11–12). How does generous, trusting giving contribute to a watching world seeing God’s people as “blessed,” and have you seen examples of this?
  8. Looking at your own situation, what is one concrete step of obedience or adjustment God might be calling you to make in the area of generosity (time, money, hospitality, service), and how can your group pray for and support you in taking that step?
