Christ Is The Answer – Sharing Through Stewardship

20010429 Christ Is The Answer - Sharing Through Stewardship - Rev. Tommy Jones

In this chapter of First Corinthians, Paul goes from the #spiritual to the #practical. Why would he bookend these two subjects so closely? Where should our heart be? And how about our feet? Here we see guidance for the church in how to collect money and examples of how it should be used. Is there any guidance given to believers about how and when to give? By the way, this chapter includes one of the first clues about what day of the week on which the early church worshipped. Do attitude and intention matter when giving? Are there different expectations of giving from different levels of givers? Are commandments given to us for God’s good or ours? Did you know that there is a difference between tithes and offerings?

#Multitasking, are Christians told to be #spiritual or #practical? Actually, it is both. Does God use temporary things to accomplish eternal things? Is it only money that Christians are asked to give? Are only the poor truly spiritual? What made the church at Philippi such a joyous one? If Paul was joyful in poverty or abundance, why was he grateful for the Philippians’ gift and what it meant for them? Does the amount of or the motives behind the gift matter more to God?

19750119 Stewardship Personal Promise - Rev. Tommy Jones

What is your #word worth? When you give your personal #promise is it worth anything? How about when God promises something, can we count on that? Have you ever wondered why so many churches have the name Bethel in them? Listen to the passage about Jacob to find out. What do our promises have to do with God’s plans? Why does God require a commitment from us in order to move forward? It boils down to free will. Does our motive for giving to the Lord matter? Is God watching what you are giving?

Stewardship Concerning the Collection

19750112 Stewardship Concerning The Collection - Rev. Tommy Jones

Some people get uncomfortable when the subject of #money is brought up. Why is that? Well, probably because whoever is speaking is usually asking for some of your money. If you are a created being and the Lord provides all of your needs as the Bible tells us, is there really such a thing as your money? Why is the Church concerned about taking up a collection? Why does it concern us, believer or not? How does concern for the collection dovetail into God’s concern for our salvation? What does the Bible say about the timing of the collection? What is said about who should participate in the collection? How about where it goes? What does the word tithe mean? What is the purpose for taking up a collection?

Survey of Stewardship

19750105 Survey Of Stewardship - Rev. Tommy Jones

Would it shock you to find out that it was never #God’s plan for #Government to provide all of our needs? How would you feel if you found out that the Bible states that God provides for us and even provides us with extra in order that we may bless others and that we will be judged accordingly? What is the purpose of stewardship? What does Genesis tell us about why we are here? What is the plan of stewardship? Do you hold your bank accountable for your deposits? Of course you do. Do you get upset when your $10 deposit doesn’t earn a million dollars in interest? Of course not. How much more so will a perfect God expect us to be responsible with what He has given to us? Is God just concerned about what we do with our money? What about our time, our talents, and our lives? What is the relationship between giving and living?
