GOD OWNS EVERYTHING.
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

OWNERSHIP DETERMINES STEWARDSHIP.

WE ARE STEWARDS (MANAGERS) OF GOD'S MONEY.

Ownership and Stewardship Matters More than we Think


If I think it is mine, then my job is to protect it from you.
If I think it is God’s, then my job is to bless other with it.
Talk it over:

1. Often we thank God for our food, but how often do we thank God for our paychecks?

2. Pastor Sean talked a lot about open handed and closed fisted people. Would you consider yourself financially self sufficient or financially God dependent and ready to bless others?

3. Since God owns it all, what needs to change about your budget, buying, and giving?
Give you the opportunity to start a relationship with Jesus:

God created us to be with him.
Our sins separate us from God.
Sins can’t be removed by good deeds.
Paying the price for sin Jesus died and rose again.
Everyone who trust in him alone has eternal life.
Life with Jesus starts now and last forever!

I committed my life to Christ.

If you started a relationship with Jesus please let us know by checking the "I committed my life to Christ" in your communication or following the link below and click on the Red RL Circle.
