Stewardship 2015
Because of God’s Great Mercy
In I Peter we read, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people.”
God’s mercy comes to us in our Lord, Jesus Christ. God’s mercy also comes to us in many other ways. Among these are the material possessions we enjoy. They are gifts from God; but more than this, they are entrusted to us by God. The Bible teaches us that all that we have in this life comes from God. Our time, our talents, and our money and possessions all come from God, and in a very real sense still belong to God. In this life we are stewards, caretakers, managers of God’s incredible bounty.
