Stewarding God's Gifts

Series: Signs of Belonging
George J. Saylor
April 13, 2008

Last week we started by talking about our first sign and the foundation of finding true belonging- finding our belonging in God. We were created by God, we have been saved by God through Jesus, and we are called to belong with God in the community of Christ-followers, the church. And we express this great sense of belonging in the thing called worship. We start our week Sunday morning, Soaring in Worship, then we live it throughout the week.

But how do we do that, really? How do we live a life of worship? Through this thing we call Stewardship.

Today we go deeper into what it looks like to life a life of worship. And we believe that this idea, this practice of Stewardship is the start. And it’s as simple, and complex, as saying “God, in worship of you, everything I have, everything you’ve given me, belongs to you. And I will use it for you.” Stewardship is embracing this idea that you are not your own, and your stuff is not your stuff alone. But really that you belong to God, and your stuff belongs to God- all your stuff- your time, your talents, and your treasures, as we’ll get into it.
