Opening:
Last week we got into worship- which is really saying we, as people, belong to the God whom we worship. Stewardship is the "logical" next step- worshipping God through giving him everything. Does this logic make sense and how so?
Digging Deeper:
Going back to the Acts 2 passage, we read in v. 44, "All the believers were together and had everything in common." Discuss the picture of Christian community and stewardship- is this applicable to modern life and culture?
Read Genesis 1:26-31. Discuss the implications of this passage for what life was supposed to look like.
Read 1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." What does this teach us about stewardship?
Matthew 25:14-30. Read this parable and discuss the stewardship principles.
Closing:
What time can you steward better for God, yourself and neighbor?
What talent(s) can you use and in what way for God's glory?
What treasure(s) can you better steward? Are you giving to the church and/or other ministries?
