The Worship of Stewardship
2 Corinthians 8:1-9
Worship is much more than singing or congregating with other believers. It is our response to God's revelation. The worship of stewardship acknowledges that God is God, and we are not.

Grace! Grace! Grace!
2 Corinthians 8:1-9
Stewardship is not so much about your goods as it is God's grace. All that we have and are can be appropriately attributed to His grace! When you have the right view of His grace, you will have the right motive for stewardship.

The Fellowship of Stewardship
2 Corinthians 8:1-9

Keep Growing
1 Corinthians 4:15-21
The greatest evidence of life is growth. A good Christian steward never stops growing. As you continue to steward the life you were given, you will better pass that life along to others.

It Costs – But It Always Pays!
1 Corinthians 4:11-14
In the Christian life, no sacrifice ever outweighs the reward. The Master takes excellent care of His servants. God will often reward His children in this life, but it will be worth it all when we see Him face-to-face in eternity.

Things Are Not Always What You See
1 Corinthians 4:6-10
There are two ways to live: by sight or by faith. One who lives by sight places his emphasis on the external and temporal. You cannot be the steward God saved you to be and live by sight.

Who Are You Doing It For?
1 Corinthians 4:3-5
Motive matters. You can do the right thing for the wrong reason. While we cannot discern the intentions of other's hearts, we certainly can examine our own purposes.

Working Behind the Scenes
1 Corinthians 4:1-2, 17
God does His greatest work in private. While man often minimizes God's work to what occurs in public settings, God is at work behind the scenes.

God’s Accounting Office
1 Corinthians 3:21-4:1
Would you consider yourself to be good at crunching numbers? Things are figured differently in heaven's accounting office. God records and rewards our actions far differently than we would.

One Requirement
1 Corinthians 4:2
To cut through all the chaos and complexities, God simplifies the task of His stewards. We do not have to be famous or talented; we just have to be faithful.

Servants and Stewards
1 Corinthians 4:1
