BEING GOOD STEWARDS

TEXT- 1 TIMOTHY 6:17-19

INTRODUCTION

This morning we are going to continue with our study from the book of 1 Timothy and our text is found in 1 Timothy 6:17-19. The title of my message is, “Being Good Stewards.”

Last Sunday we learned that God is the creator and sovereign ruler over the entire universe. That means he owns everything and we are to be stewards of his possessions.

The way a person handles their possessions is an indication of their spiritual maturity and devotion to Christ. What kind of steward are you with God’s possessions?

A lady fell out of a second-story window and landed in a garbage truck that was slowly moving past her apartment. She tried without success to get the driver's attention. Two foreigners standing on the sidewalk saw her lying on top of the trash and one indignantly said to the other, "this is just another disgraceful example of how americans are so wasteful! That woman looks like she's good for at least another 10 years."

This morning I would like us to consider three things that are essential in order to be a good steward. (Prayer)
