Our Stewardship

Sermonette by Bill Onisick

After we are baptized and become members of God's church, we inherit a new primary job and responsibility—that is to become a steward. A narrower definition consists of managing God's possessions, information, and time. Looking at fuller definitions throughout, we learn how much that God expects from us and what we must account for at the end during our judgement. The importance is demonstrated through the considerable quantity of parables that Jesus gives that covers the subject matter of stewardship, either directly discussed or implied through their content. Matthew 20, Luke 12, and Luke 16 are some of the famous chapters that contain these parables. These stewardship parables display the stakes of doing well in this job; if we do well, we inherit eternal life as first fruits. If we misuse his gifts by becoming poor stewards of the gifts that are entrusted to us, then it shows what our ultimate attitude would be towards eternal life and are not deemed worthy of it. We are given a list of we ten areas that are a good starting point of everything God expects us to manage; we are encouraged to keep close tabs on these responsibilities.
