2 A steward was a servant who supervised and administered an estate. is the administration of the estate.

3 What we want: Ezekiel 34:25-26 (NKJV) 25 I will make a covenant of peace with them, and cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.

4 1 Corinthians 4:2 (NKJV) 2Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

5 involves three dynamics: 1. Time 2. Talent 3. Treasure

6 Giving Should be a Response to God s Command Giving should be purposefully 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NKJV) So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

7 You and God You need to determine what you are going to give. You might ask, how do I do that? Well! 1 Corinthians 16:2 (NKJV) On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper,

8 Poverty a condition or a state of mind Proverbs 10:15 (NKJV) The rich man s wealth is his strong city; The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

9 The Parable of the Sower - Homework Matthew 13:18-20 (NKJV) Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

10 Matthew 13:21-22 (NKJV) yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

11 Matthew 13:23 (NKJV) 23But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

14 Colossians 1:15-16 (NKJV) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

15 There are 2 worlds the visible the invisible Jesus has his hands on both worlds

16 Matt 6:18-19 visible or invisible? 1 Cor 2: visible or invisible? Rom 1: 17;20 visible or invisible? Heb 11:1 visible or invisible? When the seed gets to the ground is it visible or invisible?

17 Colossians 1:17-20 (NKJV) 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

18 Hebrews 1:3 (NKJV) who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, Col 1:17And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. Do you know what this scripture means?
