We are stewards of God’s gift of life; it is our responsibility to believe in and defend the sanctity of human life.

We are stewards of God’s physical and financial resources; it is our joy to think rightly about these resources and use them appropriately for God’s purposes. 

We are stewards of God’s design for mankind; it is our challenge to promote a biblical worldview in the midst of a culture that rejects God’s best.

We are stewards of God’s opportunities; it is our blessing to make the most of the time given to us.

Because of the person and work of Jesus, we are free to offer ourselves as gifts to him, and thereby experience the abundant life he offers.

The wise men’s gift of frankincense reminds us of Jesus’s divinity; because he is God, he can give us the gift of a restored relationship.

The wise men’s gift of gold reminds us of Jesus’s kingship; because he is king, he can give us the gift of true peace.

Although not in the line of promise, Esau was a descendent of Isaac and thus God blessed Esau with an abundant family and heritage.
