Christian Stewardship Explored in 10 Bible Studies
God’s Stewards consists of 10 bible studies on Christian stewardship.
The image of stewardship is used to depict the nature of the Christian life throughout the New Testament epistles. The subject also figures highly in Jesus’ teachings. It is clearly a concept He wants us to embrace since 17 of the 36 parables He told are to do with stewardship.
Our stewardship is based on two irrefutable facts:
1) God is the owner of all things. Psa.24:1; 50:12.
2) We are stewards of all we possess. Read Psa.8:4-8.
Everything we possess belongs to God and has been entrusted to us as stewards. In 1 Cor.4:7 Paul asks, “What do you have that you did not receive?” As stewards we have the responsibility of managing God’s property and affairs in His best interest.
The character of stewardship, then, is that we possess but we do not own. There is less pressure in managing than there is in owning. God never gave us the capacity for ownership. Anything we try to own usually ends up owning us.
Christian stewardship has to do with the way we view God and the way we see ourselves. It has the power to shape and mould our understanding of the way we are to live our lives.
What an awesome thing it is to be included with Him in the great responsibilities of managing His property and His kingdom!
Yet, a steward is more than a servant or even manager. We are also heirs of God, together with Christ. We share in the riches and blessings of the household and are also included in the vision of the Father of the household.
