February  4,  2018  Stewardship     Key  Truth:   Everything  I  have  belongs  to  God.    He  wants  me  to  take  care  of  my  things  and  share  with  others.     Further  Discussion:   Today  we  learned  what  the  Bible  says  about  stewardship:       1.    What  is  the  definition  of  stewardship?     Stewardship:  stewardship  is  how  we  take  care  of  things.     Being  a  good-­‐steward:  when  you  are  being  a  good  steward,  you  are  doing  a  good  job  taking  care     of  things.    God  wants  us  to  be  good  stewards.     2.    To  whom  does  everything  belong?     Read  Psalm  24:1,  “The  earth  is  the  Lord’s  and  everything  in  it,  the  world,  and  all  who  live  in  it.”         Read  Psalm  50:  10-­‐11,  “For  every  animal  of  the  forest  is  Mine  and  the  cattle  on    a  thousand  hills.    I     know  every  bird  in  the  mountains,  and  the  insects  in  the  fields  are  Mine.”         God  owns  everything.    He  owns  the  land/plants,  water/animals,  all  the  buildings,  cars,  houses  and     all  the  people  in  the  world.    Everything  belongs  to  God  and  He  has  given  it  to  us  as  a  gift.    He     wants  us  to  take  care  of  it  all.           3.    How  can  we  be  a  good-­‐steward  with  the  gifts  God  has  given  us?       Most  importantly,  God  wants  us  to  be  generous  and  cheerful  in  our  giving.  He  wants  us  to  give     because  of  our  love  for  Him  and  for  our  love  for  others.    God  wants  us  to  sacrifice  some  of  the     things  we  have,  because  of  the  love  He  gives  us.       Give  cheerfully  and  with  a  loving  heart.     2  Corinthians  9:7,  “Each  of  you  should  give  what  you  have  decide  in  your  heart  to  give,  not     reluctantly  or  under  compulsion,  for  God  loves  a  cheerful  giver.”       1  Timothy  17-­‐18,  “Command  those  who  are  rich  in  the  present  world  not  to  be  arrogant  nor  to  put     their  hope  in  wealth,  which  is  so  uncertain,  but  to  put  their  hope  in  God,  who  richly  provides  us     with  everything  for  our  enjoyment.    Command  them  to  do  good,  to  be  rich  in  good  deeds,  and  to  be     generous  and  willing  to  share.”       Give  out  of  love.     1  John  3:  16-­‐18,  “This  is  how  we  know  what  love  is:    Jesus  Christ  laid  down  His  life  for  us.    And  we     ought  to  lay  down  our  lives  for  our  brothers  and  sisters.    If  anyone  has  material  possessions  and     sees  a  brother  or  sister  in  need  but  has  no  pity  on  them,  how  can  the  love  of  God  be  in  that  person?       Dear  children,  let  us  not  love  with  words  or  speech  but  with  actions  and  in  truth.”       Give  in  secret.    No  one  but  God  needs  to  know.     Matthew  6:2-­‐4,  “So  when  you  give  to  the  needy,  do  not  announce  it  with  trumpets,  as  the     hypocrites  do  in  the  synagogues  and  on  the  streets,  to  be  honored  by  others…but  when  you  give  to     the  needy,  do  not  let  your  left  hand  know  what  your  right  is  hand  is  doing,  so  that  your  giving  may     be  in  secret.    Then  your  Father,  who  sees  what  is  done  in  secret,  will  reward  you.”              

4.    What  should  we  give?   Three  different  “things”  to  give  are:    The  Three  T’s  –  Time,  Talent,  and  Treasure.       Time:    We  can  give  our  time  by  helping  others,  volunteering  at  church  or  in  the  community.    It’s  listening   to  a  friend  in  times  of  sadness  or  trouble.    It’s  praying  for  someone.    How  do  you  spend  your  time?    Are   you  being  a  good  steward  with  your  time?  What  are  bad  ways  and  good  ways  of  spending  your  time?     Talent:  God  gave  each  of  us  special  gifts  and  talents.    They  are  different  for  each  one  of  us.    Using  the  skills   God  gave  us  by  serving  and  helping  others  is  another  way  to  be  a  good  steward.  What  are  some  talents  or   personality  traits  God  has  blessed  you  with?    How  can  these  be  used  to  help  others?     Treasure:  God  wants  us  to  tithe  to  the  church  -­‐  giving  10%  of  our  first  fruits:    the  first  of  what  we’ve   earned  or  received.    If  you  received  $20  from  your  grandparents  for  a  birthday  gift,  God  wants  you  to  give   10%    ($2.00)  of  that  to  the  church.    If  you  cleaned  your  room  and  received  an  allowance,  then  10%  would   go  to  the  church  as  a  tithe.   We  don’t  always  have  to  give  money.    We  can  give  items  that  we  already  have  to  others  who  need  them   more  (or  how  about,  just  because  you  want  to  give  it  away  –  whether  it’s  needed  or  not).    Or  we  could     have  a  garage  sale  and  give  the  money  away.    One  opportunity  for  you  to  give  of  your  treasure  here  at   church  is  by  supporting  our  two  Compassion  International  children:  Alvaro  and  Napatsorn.    Children’s   Ministry  has  a  weekly  offering  that  directly  supports  them.    How  about  making  a  commitment  to  these   children?         ADDITIONAL  RESOURCES:    attached  are  two  articles.    One  is  on  “raising  graceful  givers”  and  the  other  is   “stewardship  for  kids.”
