When we try to cause a Breakthrough to happen, we just create a mess. When we wait on the Lord and allow him to Breakthrough… there is beauty, power, and progress.

There is Objective TRUTH in this world, and Consequences are real. History reveals that God is just and that sin has consequences.

Good News: Jesus took our consequences on himself at the cross, and we can have New Life and a Bright Future.

There are things in this life that are worth protecting. The Gospel (Good News about Jesus) is worthy of protection as it contains the only real hope for our broken world. Be ready to Contend for the Faith.

Understanding brings greater enjoyment! This is true for many areas of life and is definitely true in the area of stewardship. Understanding terms like Tithe, Offering, First Fruits, and Intent sets us free to enjoy being God’s Stewards.

If you’ve been given a lot… Be a Generous Steward. If you’ve been given a little… Be a Generous Steward. 

Stewardship is supposed to be a Stream - Not a Swamp.  

Our Sacrificial Savior revealed what it looked like to be a Sacrificial Steward. Being Generous with what God has entrusted to us is not being wasteful. Jesus delights in Sacrificial Stewardship and sees it as Beautiful.

Jesus addressed the Spiritual Needs in the lives of those who had great wealth and those who had very little. Wealth is not the issue when you understand that Jesus owns everything. The issue is faith in Jesus and then honoring him by being a Godly Steward of what Christ has entrusted to you.

Christ created everything. Christ owns everything. Christ delegates responsibility to mankind (especially Christ-followers) for His Glory and our good. We are called to steward what Christ has given to us.

Add these to your list of New Year’s resolutions: Do Not Be Anxious, and Do SEEK First the Kingdom of God. Jesus is going to need to help us with both rejecting anxiety and prioritizing his agenda in our lives.

Jesus made some massive claims. One of those claims is that he IS the Light of the World. He backed up those claims and then made huge claims about his followers. He said that Christians ARE the Salt of the Earth and that we ARE the Light of the World. Let’s Shine Bright!
