Summary

(1 Corinthians 4:1) What do you think of when you hear the word "stewardship"? Most people's minds immediately go to the subject of money. If you are a Christian, you are a steward of something far more significant than money! (097250106)

0:00.0	Christian stewardship begins with the correct understanding that everything we have belongs to the Lord.
0:13.5	Stewardship, then, is not just a focus on money or material things, but also encompasses every spiritual blessing. In this study, making the most of all God
0:24.5	has given, Scott Pauley teaches biblical principles for Christian stewardship. One day, we will meet God
0:31.9	and give an account of how we have handled all of the resources he has put in our hands. Let's listen intently to learn how God expects us to steward his resources.
0:46.3	Would you like to make the most of what God has given you?
0:51.3	Would you like to make the most of your life? For the next several weeks,
0:55.7	I want to give you some principles directly from the Word of God that will help all of us to do
1:00.2	just that. I want to talk to you about Christian stewardship. Now immediately, when people hear
1:06.7	the word stewardship, their mind goes to money. But in fact, the stewardship of finances is not the
1:13.9	greatest stewardship. It is really the least stewardship. And it is a reminder to us that our life is
1:20.4	more than things. In the words of scripture, that life consisteth more than in the abundance of
1:27.3	things. It's not about money. It's not about
1:30.2	material things. It is about your whole life. It's a reminder that everything we have comes to us
1:38.2	from God's hand and that we are stewards of it for a very brief time. Can I tell you the way to make the most of all
1:46.2	that God has given you, give it back to him? Because I can tell you with certainty that the Lord
1:52.5	can do more with your life than you can. I want to begin this study of stewardship in what is arguably
1:59.9	the classic passage. You know when you study
2:02.9	certain subjects, you try to find a summary text. For example, if you were going to study the love
2:09.0	of God, you have to study 1st Corinthians chapter number 13. Well, if you want to study stewardship,
2:16.2	you have to look at 1st Corinthians chapter 4.
2:20.3	In fact, verse number one is really, I think, one of the keys to Christian stewardship
2:26.5	that opens up all of the blessing of God on all that he has given to us.
