The Heart of Christian Stewardship - Trust (MP Panel Discussion)

Today, we continue our November theme on Stewardship.

Pastor j emphasizes that biblical stewardship means acknowledging that God is the ultimate owner of all aspects of life, including possessions, time, and talent, making humans merely responsible managers of these gifts.

Three elders—Sister Anita, Brother Jim, and Pastor Scott— share personal testimonies and insights regarding the heart transformation necessary for good stewardship, the challenges of obedience, and the spiritual disciplines, such as tithing and prayer, that maintain their faithfulness. These testimonies show how God transformed their hearts from self-reliance and control to surrender, using examples involving finances, ministry service, and difficult life choices.

The discussion repeatedly stresses that true stewardship is motivated by gratitude and love for God rather than obligatory duty. Our aim is to be faithful in this life before the audience of One. His approval of our lives is all that matters, and our sacrifice today is an investment into eternity.
