God's Stewardship Program (5 of 5)
by Jim Henry
Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.I want to let it be clearly understood that I don't preach on stewardship every Sunday. But I do believe that stewardship is as much a part of God's Word as prayer, salvation, discipleship, faith, love and all these things that we preach. Therefore, without apology, I simply want to state that I'm bringing a very important part of God's Word to God's people. If you are not a Christian, this may not mean much to you, and I understand...
Rebuilding the Wall of Stewardship (1 of 7)
by Stan Coffey
I heard about a man who brought a parrot. It was a beautiful parrot but he had a problem with swearing. It seemed whenever the man was entertaining the parrot would embarrass him greatly by swearing in front of his guests. He tried to appeal to the obviously smart parrot by asking him to clean up his language. The parrot promised to change, but nothing happened, in fact, his swearing seemed only to increase! Finally, it got to be too much, so the man grabbed the bird by the throat and started shaking him and yelled, you've got to stop swearing, but this just made the parrot angry and he swore all the more. Then the guy...
Defining Stewardship (9 of 10)
by Daniel Rodgers
Last week we looked at (3:11-23), where Paul discusses the importance of building our Christian lives on a proper foundation. The Foundation to which (or to Whom) he refers, is Christ. The building is the church: 1 Cor. 3:9-10, ''For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.'' Again, from our notes last week, Paul is telling us that if we build on a proper foundation and with the...
Stewardship of the Seed (4 of 5)
by Jeff Strite
One of the most beloved of American artists was Norman Rockwell. But, though many of the common folk loved and cherished his paintings, many other artists did not, deriding him as nothing more than a common illustrator. Rockwell once explained the difference between his style of painting and that of many modern artists with this story: Ten or fifteen years ago a Bohemian art student - complete with the beard, long hair, sandals - kept hanging around a studio I'd rented… One day he interrupted my work on a painting of Johnny Appleseed which showed an old man with an iron kettle on his head and a...
Christian Stewardship
by Jesse Hendley
Now, friends, if you have your Bibles, I want you to turn with me to Luke, chapter 12, verse 20, and we are speaking on the subject, CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP. God's Word says, ''It is required among stewards that a man be found faithful.'' The idea of stewardship means responsibility to someone greater than we are. We are placed in this world in a place of responsibility. We are responsible to God. A man who works for an employer or company is responsible to that employer or company. A child is responsible to his family. He is not to disgrace the name; he is to keep the family name unsullied. And you and I are...
Components of Biblical Stewardship (2 of 7)
by Frank Damazio
Introduction: We have launched out into the deep. We are getting out of the boat and putting one foot on the water. Improving our money management skills is actually improving our life management skills. In the last message, we established three very important foundational stones. Today we continue with the goal of encouraging you to be the manager of your life and finances according to God's standards. I. BIBLICAL MONEY MANAGEMENT BASICS A. MANAGEMENT IS A DISCIPLINE 1. Biblical money management is a discipline that touches every area of my life and requires constant focus. 2. Identifying the problems...
Tithes and Stewardship: Conduits of God's Grace
by Eddie Snipes
Stewardship through tithing did not begin with the Mosaic Law, but as a part of Abraham's faithfulness to God. Abraham was well before the law. Abraham was the picture of justification by faith that points directly to our faith in Christ. Abraham was not justified by the law, but by trusting God. It is through Abraham's faith that the first tithe was given. The principle of giving was not the tithe. Giving to God's work was the tithe, but the principle of giving is stewardship - all things belong to God and entrusted to our care. Abraham testified to this in Genesis 14:22-23. After giving a tenth to the Priest of God, Abraham then declared...
From Stealing to Stewardship (9 of 11)
by Jeff Ginn
Heard about a fellow that had fallen on hard times. He decided to rob a bank. Now he had never done anything like that before. So he practiced his lines. ''Don't mess with me, this is a stickup.'' However, when the moment came he was so nervous and flustered he stammered, ''This is a mess up, don't stick with me.'' Whenever we steal, we mess up. Whatever we steal is outweighed countless times over by what we lose. When we rob others, we rob ourselves. For that reason God says, ''Thou shalt not steal.'' When we think about possessions, we can have one of three attitudes.What's yours is mine. And I'll take...
Stewardship and Our Speech (9 of 9)
by Daniel Rodgers
This evening's message will be the last in our series of messages on "Responsible Stewardship." Our subject will be the stewardship God has placed over our speech--the words that come from our mouth. And let me be quick to add, the words that come from our mouths make a world of difference--a difference for good or ill. People measure us by what we say. The thoughts from our minds represent the true "us." We place our mind's images on the tongue, and then release them--never able to be recall them again. Because of that, we need to think about what we say. We need to be stewards of our speech...
Stewardship - Part 2 (2 of 2)
by Fred Lowery
Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist who made his living inventing dynamite and other explosive materials - which were bought by the major governments of the world and used to produce weapons. When Alfred Nobel's brother died - the newspaper accidentally printed Alfred's obituary instead. He was described as a man who became rich enabling other people to kill each other in unprecedented quantities. When someone sent to Alfred a copy of his own obituary - he read it with amazement and was so shaken by the assessment of his life that he resolved to use the fortune he had amassed to reward...

Stewardship and Our Salvation (3 of 9)
by Daniel Rodgers
In our first lesson, we talked about the stewardship of separation, that we are to be separated from the world and we are to be separated unto God. 2. In last week’s lesson, we discussed "Stewardship and Our Service." We said that, "All Christians have been made stewards over the work and ministry of the Church of Christ." Tonight I want to talk about stewardship and our salvation—that we are caretakers of the Gospel. In (Vs. 18) of our text, Paul puts it like this, "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation." With this understanding, let me...
Stewardship of the Tower (2 of 5)
by Jeff Strite
A man had heart bypass surgery. As he was recovering, his doctor prescribed an exercise program and it was emphasized that the patient had to do this program ''religiously.''A few days later, the man returned to his doctor, and the doctor asked if he have been exercising. The patient replied, ''Yes. Religiously.''''How is it going?'' he asked.The patient said, ''Well, at 1st it was kind of tiring doing all those exercises once a week ...'' ''Once a week!? I wanted you to do them every day!'' the doctor exclaimed. 'But, you said to do them 'religiously.' So, just like church, I did them every seven days.''APPLY: Now, there's...
Stewardship and the Sanctuary (8 of 9)
by Daniel Rodgers
The first reference in our texts, has to do with the Old Testament Sanctuary. There are many O. T. verses that speak to the same subject; but just a cursory reading of this one verse alone, makes us keenly aware of the strict regulations God had placed on the persons who were able to enter this Holy Place. Unless a man was physically circumcised, he could not enter. Unless he was circumcised of heart (a saving relationship with God), he could not enter. The stranger (a Gentile) was not allowed to enter. God provided an outer court, referred to as; the "Court of the Gentiles," a place where non-Jews who desired...
Stewardship
by M. Jolaine Szymkowiak
A vital part of the plan for Christian Living is "to lay up treasures in Heaven" (Matthew 6:19). How is this plan for our stewardship to be accomplished? We are told in the Creation story (Genesis 1:28-30), that we are to be stewards of all we survey. And we are commanded to care for the brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ. To be able to accomplish this we must exercise responsible stewardship. If we love Him, we are to love and care for the other members of His family. If, not when, we are believers in Him, we will do and feel led to do the things listed by Jesus in the above noted scripture (Matthew 25:35- 40)...
Stewardship
by Bob Wickizer
Stewardship in most churches is about as welcome as a cockroach on a wedding cake. Stewardship is most often the subject clergy hate to preach about. Personally I find this reticence by clergy to be very odd. Stewardship is not only essential for the health and vitality of the church but stewardship is the NUMBER ONE component of our individual identity and spirituality. [pause] To repeat this, stewardship is the NUMBER ONE component of our individual identity and spirituality. In most churches stewardship is a hot potato tightly connected with that always difficult issue of money. Most stewardship efforts in...

Stewardship and Our Steadfastness (5 of 9)
by Daniel Rodgers
Paul is writing to the Church at Colosse. Some of the believers there had fallen into heresy--the worshipping of angels, observing dietary laws, circumcision, etc. They were once again placing themselves under the Old Testament Law and the Sabbath. That's why he admonishes them in (2:16), "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days." In (vs.1), he makes reference to the Church at Laodicea: Laodicea was located a few miles northwest of Colosse. It was a wealthy center of trade and commerce. Later, Jesus would criticize the believers at...
