Stewardship Call To Action
Well the stewardship team is back with another installment and thought process in our call to stewardship. Over the past few months we have put out there the thoughts of opportunities for stewardship and also the idea that we take ownership in our stewardship. Where we go from here is to expand on the idea that each and every one of us is not only responsible, but we are called to own our part of this kingdom. In church we have been experiencing the Season of the Kingdom and we have seen many different aspects or characteristics of the kingdom. With each of these words presented, stewardship is at the core of what we do as a church, community, and family in bringing this kingdom. We own everything we do. From our time that we give to others or to projects that provide for those in need we show others that it's our time first that brings about this kingdom. Secondly we share our talents in a way that provides a joy to those who thirst for that feeling of the spirit within them. Or we give of our treasures so that through our giving we can create the kingdom and provide the mission and ministry that we are called to bring. Through it all we have a sense of call as we approach the end of summer and we begin to plan for the fall stewardship drive. This drive isn't all about financial resources. It is however the call to action of our time, talent and treasures. Please join with the stewardship team and truly discern within your own lives and find out how God is working through you to bring this kingdom. As you discern what God is calling you to do, ask yourself this question. How does my time, talent and treasure help those around me? When you find the answer create the action in your life and create the stewardship drive in everything you do. Reach out with your heart, get a little dirty and let's make it happen together. God's kingdom is at the doorstep and we must answer the door and walk through with our faith and make the possibility not the norm but we realize the potential in this kingdom. May God continue to bless all of you in your lives as we answer this call to stewardship.
God Bless

Maybe one question we each need to ask of ourselves is "Do I endeavor to recognize and develop my special talents and abilities for service to my church and to others and do I pray for divine guidaance in their use?"
ReplyDeleteI would hope that each of us would ask ourselves that question. If we ask for and listen to what God is calling us to do and then doing it. I think then our talents can be realized, too often talents that are not recognized by us. If we know what our talents are then we just use them and see the opportunities before us that God provides. Great thought.
