Stewardship
Stewardship is a fundamental concept in the Christian faith that encompasses the responsible management of various resources that God has entrusted to us. These resources include not only material possessions, but also our time, talents, thoughts, and treasure.
​
Time: Our time is a precious gift from God, and how we use it reflects our priorities. Stewarding our time involves dedicating moments to prayer, study, serving others, and building relationships.
Talent: Each of us possesses unique talents and skills. Stewarding our talents means using them for God's glory and the betterment of others. Whether it's through music, art, teaching, or any other skill, we are called to invest these abilities in ways that align with God's will.
Thoughts: Our thought life is significant in shaping our attitudes and actions. Stewarding our thoughts involves guarding against negativity, fear, and doubt. Instead, we're encouraged to focus on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, and praiseworthy
Treasure: While money and material possessions are included in this category, they're just a part of it. Stewarding our treasure involves managing our finances responsibly and generously. This includes giving back to God through tithes and offerings and supporting causes that align with His kingdom.
​
As Christians, understanding and practicing stewardship reminds us that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. We are called to manage these resources in ways that honor Him, bless others, and contribute to the growth of His Kingdom. By embracing stewardship, we align our lives more closely with God's purposes and find fulfillment in living out His plan for us.
