Stewardship Changes How We See People. Ultimately, biblical marketplace ethics is not simply a list of rules. It flows from a different understanding of ownership. If everything belongs to God, then the people whose paths intersect with mine ultimately belong to Him too. I therefore cannot exploit people God has called me to serve. I cannot dishonour people made in His image. I cannot use…
I can say with a very real conviction that I think I'm one of the richest people I know, if not the richest. I don't mean this in terms of money, but in terms of the things that truly matter - I am astoundingly rich. Things that money cannot buy, God has lavished upon me in ways I am humbled by. A beautiful, faithful, intelligent, loving, deeply God-honouring wife; two precious, wonderful little…
One of the greatest leadership shifts is understanding that a leader is a steward. This mindset changes how you lead. You understand that you are called to serve the people who belong to God not you. This changes how you go about leadership in all aspects of life. How do I steward my spouse? I have to give an account of how I served my spouse who belongs to God. It’s the same in all areas of…
A question that seems to intrigue a number of people is this: What happens when a steward fails? On another occasion we will discuss rewards; when a steward does well, but for now let’s focus on failure. Does God address the failure or pass the entrustment on? Today we will unpack this. God may do any one of the following eight things:
Biblical stewardship is faithfully managing everything God has entrusted to us so that His purpose, not merely our potential, is fulfilled. Over the past three weeks in our Entrusted series, we have discovered that stewardship is much bigger than money. We have seen that God owns everything, that we are called to steward our time wisely, and that true stewardship flows from recognising that…
Over the past few weeks in our Entrusted series, we've discovered that nothing we have truly belongs to us—it all belongs to God. We are not owners; we are stewards.We have already seen that we are called to steward our resources and then our time. Today we move to something far more personal and, perhaps, more easily overlooked: our peace. Many people think of peace as something that simply…
The secret to greatness is hidden in your daily routine. When you have a revelation that God loves you and that you belong to Him, it changes everything. It’s the starting point of relinquishment from ownership to stewardship. You realise that He looks after that which is His, so you worry less and in the process save a lot of time. This is simply because worrying is one of the biggest time…
Throughout history, there have been many remarkable leaders who have shaped nations, organisations, churches, and generations. We think of men and women such as Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham, and John Maxwell. Each is remembered for something unique—courage, vision, compassion, influence, resilience, or the ability to inspire others. We are grateful for the lessons…
The big idea of this series is that everything belongs to God. Stewardship is faithfully managing and multiplying what He entrusts to us for His purposes, His glory and the good of others. We will explore what stewardship is. Then we will examine how to form the stewardship mindset; how stewards think. In this series we will also spend time applying stewardship to all aspects of life. Parenting,…
I think one of the great questions of the Christian life is this: How do we remain anchored in joy when life hurts? How do we remain anchored in joy when prayers seem unanswered? How do we remain anchored in joy when circumstances don't make sense? How do we remain anchored in joy when suffering enters our story? Because if we are honest, most of us find it relatively easy to trust God when life…
God as mighty warrior is one of the communicable attributes of God. He becomes the mighty warrior within us.
