01092022 | Taking Care of Business | Part One | Allen Hickman

God has placed different things, abilities, talents, gifts, opportunities, etc... in our hands. The question that we need to ask is what are we doing with what He has placed in our hands. Are we "taking care of business?" His business! We are followers of Jesus Christ and as such we are to be good stewards of what He has entrusted to us. In doing so we not only honor Him but we advance His kingdom and the world is a better place because of it. What are you doing with what He has placed in your hands?

Mindset: way of living and thinking

To be a good steward you must understand a few things:

Genesis 1:28

I. YOU WERE BORN TO BE A STEWARD

· God’s earth; have dominion or steward it
· Partnership with His Kingship
· Lost it and allowed evil in. (The great fall)
· Jesus bought the keys back

Matthew 16:19

I must understand this through stewardship; His authority, His goods, His way

II. I AM NOT THE OWNER

I am His 1 Corinthians 6:20
All things are His John 1:1-4
My breath is His Genesis 2:7
My gifts & personality is His Psalms 139:13-14

What has He placed in your hands?

III. IT IS NOT ABOUT WHAT OR HOW MUCH

· He gave according to what abilities He gave us

IV. WICKED VERSUS GOD AND FAITHFUL
