Video Clip : Planet Earth & The Inconvenient Truth

1.Basically, covers good management of the earth, the right use of resources, conservation of energy. 2.Applies to us personally – how do we use and take care of those resources in our daily life. 3.Closely connected with the preaching and our response to the Gospel. What are some things that we can say about Christian Stewardship?

We have a responsibility to care for God’s goods. But what are these goods?

A Good Steward Is One Who Spreads the Faith Christians are called to be faithful in service. Steward - the manager of a household to whom the head of the house has entrusted his affairs. The Church is the household of God. Therefore, our stewardship is faith in action.

Paul says that we are stewards of the Gospel. “We have been made stewards (or managers) of God’s secret truths and the one thing required of such a servant is that he is faithful to his master.” 1Corinthians 8:4

Examples from the Bible Joseph – rescued Egypt & his family from famine Moses – led 3 million Jews out of Egypt Esther – saved her people from destruction David – saved his people from the Palestinians and became an anointed King

Examples from the Century We Lived In Rosa Parks – Civil Rights Movement "Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement."Civil Rights Movement William Carey – “Father of modern missions.”

(A) TIME Prioritize our time today! Do we give time to God and people? In what way can we give such time? How do we feel when someone visits you without any appointment when you are busy with some matters?

(B) TALENT How can we share that talent and all the other gifts we have been given?

(C) GIVING 1.Why give, what is our motive? 1.What effect does our giving have? 2.How do we measure our giving?

Giving (contd) 4. What is the effect of such willingness? 5. How many of us smile when volunteering, how many of us laugh when involved in the work of God?

Conclusion: Christian Stewardship The world we live in is not getting any better – Romans 8:22 (… the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth…) You may be insignificant in this world but you are not insignificant in God’s eye. God has commanded us to spend our resources wisely. Our partnership with God is the answer to solving the crisis we face in today’s world.

GOD BLESS
