The world teaches us to hold tightly to what we have. Jesus teaches us to live with open hands.

Pastor Joe leads us to discover that stewardship encompasses far more than our finances. God has entrusted us with our time, abilities, possessions, relationships, opportunities, and ultimately our entire lives. Rather than asking, “How much do I have to give?” faithful stewardship asks, “How can everything God has entrusted to me be used for His kingdom?”

Following Jesus means learning to loosen our grip on what we possess and becoming willing to use our lives for the good of others and the glory of God.

What if the things we call “ours” were never really ours to begin with?

Jesus’ Parable of the Talents confronts us with a fundamental truth about stewardship: God is the owner, and we are His stewards. Everything placed in our hands has been entrusted to us for a purpose, and one day we will give an account for what we did with it.

In this sermon, Pastor Mark calls us to consider what it means to faithfully manage what belongs to God and why genuine discipleship requires more than simply preserving what we have been given. Faithful stewards put God’s resources to work for God’s purposes.

Stewardship begins long before we decide what to do with our money. It begins with our relationship with God.

In The Heart of a Steward, we explore the biblical foundation for stewardship and discover how our covenant relationship with God reshapes the way we view everything He has entrusted to us. When we understand who God is, what belongs to Him, and who we are in relationship to Him, stewardship becomes more than an obligation, it becomes a faithful response to the God who has been faithful to us.
