Nobody Special 111 | Stimulus Checks and Stewardship
United States issues stimulus checks this past week and if you are like Danny and Caleb, you wanted to spend it on the most ridiculous things. But, this is an opportunity for us to be good stewards of the gift we have been given.
Every American Christian is now considering the issue of stewardship. For some people, the question will come in needing to pay bills and pay down debts. Others will need to struggle with whether or not they should buy some excessive purchases. The issue of stewardship runs deep within the Bible. From finances to relationship, to talents, treasures, and time, we call can be good stewards of the things we have been given.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 ESV
Then we discuss the coming need for generosity. The world will be changing and this is a profound opportunity to be the church to people in need. For those who are able, we can represent the love of Christ to the poor, the broken, and the sick.
Also, we talk about what would we would buy if we were being irresponsible
