We embark on a new series that is all about stewardship. Most of us think of money when we think of stewardship or generosity but it is more than that, it is also time, influence, family and relationships, talents, our body, personal testimony, personal property. We hope you can come and be with us as we learn how to be good stewards.
All that Jesus did and said is the example of the perfect steward. He gave all he had, including his own life to bring glory to His Father. Jesus is the perfect example of generosity.
When we talk of being generous we often think of money, but what if we applied the same principles of generosity to our time? All of us have time. It comes to us in equal amounts no matter who we are. How use of time will determine the quality, joy and influence of our lives. Jesus had limited time on earth, how did He use it?
What would it look like if we gave our WHOLE life to God? This is stewardship. The parable of the treasure hidden in a field is a story of sacrifice. What does that mean? What should we be willing to give up?
What is stewardship? We serve a God who is generous and compassionate and He asks us to reflect His character and be generous with what we are given. We do this by trusting God’s promises, releasing God’s resources to advance God’s mission but how far are we willing to go?
