Money and work – these words alone can cause anxiety. But we shouldn’t worry – God wants us to live in freedom, trusting him and learning to manage our gifts wisely and generously. Here, we explore questions such as: ‘What is my time worth?’, ‘How much is enough?’ ‘What if I lose it all?’ This LifeBuilder Bible Study points to God’s trustworthiness and generosity to help us rest in the peace he offers. With more than 130 titles, the LifeBuilder Bible Studies series delivers sound biblical content and raises thought-provoking questions. It provides a unique Bible study experience for individuals and groups.

In the book of Mark we meet Jesus, the man who is king. He shatters our expectations. He comes to serve and not to be served. He eats with sinners rather than royalty. And his crown is made of thorns. This is the one who calls us to follow him. This revised LifeBuilder Bible Study has new questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection as well as expanded leader''s notes and an extra ''Now or Later'' section in each study.

Mengapa kita harus menjalani kehidupan yang berintegritas? Apakah integritas menjanjikan kesuksesan? Tidak. Terkadang integritas akan membawa pada hilangnya pekerjaan dan hancurnya finansial. Apakah integritas membawa rasa hormat dari orang lain? Mungkin, tapi mungkin hanya dari mereka yang juga mengejar tujuan yang sunyi ini. Apakah integritas membentuk hubungan yang sehat? Integritas mengarahkan kita ke sana—tapi tidak memberi jaminan. Apakah integritas membuat kita bahagia? Mungkin, tapi Ayub tidak akan pernah bisa dianggap bahagia saat ia duduk sakit dan berduka dalam tumpukan abu dengan teman-teman yang mempersalahkannya di sisinya. Tapi integritas memiliki upahnya tersendiri. Integritas memungkinkan kita untuk mengejar apa yang benar dan menolak apa yang salah—bahkan saat kita harus menyampaikan kata-kata itu di antara orang banyak. Integritas mengundang kita untuk mengenal diri sendiri dan bertumbuh dalam hal yang kita dapati ada di sana. Integritas membawa kepuasan. Integritas menarik kita untuk mengikuti Kristus sebagai teladan kita—dan Tuhan kita. Dan integritas itu berarti memercayai Tuhan karena pada akhirnya Tuhan sendirilah yang bisa dipercaya karena integritas Tuhan tidak bercela.
