Stewardship

 

A CALL TO STEWARDSHIP: Consider God's Gifts and Respond

We celebrate God's blessing and our gratitude. We affirm that:

• God through His Son created all things; sustains all things.
• Everything we have is a gift from God.
• This realization andour acceptance of God's gifts leads us into gratitude and joy. 
• Our generosity to share  what we have flows from gratitude and joy, to further God's plan for the world.

God's word illuminates each of these truths. 

God through the son created all things, He sustains all things. 
John 1:1, 3, In the beginning was the Word ...
He was in the beginning with God, All things came to be through him,
and without him nothing came to be.

Colossians 1:16,17. For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth ... 
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 

Everything we have is a gift from God.
Psalm 139:13-14. You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. 
I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works!

This realization and our acceptance of God's gifts leads us into gratitude and joy. 
Colossians 3:17. And whatever you do, in our word or in deed, do everything in the of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 

Ephesians 5:20. ... giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to 
God the Father. 

Our generosity flows from gratitude and joy, to further God's plan for the world. 
1 Peter 4:10: As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of 
God's varied grace. 

What is your response to God's generosity to you  and your family? Please prayerfully
consider how you will share of your time, talent and resources.
