STEWARDING OUR GIFTS

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Stewarding Our GIFTS series. 

Gifts are a major theme in Scripture. The Holy Spirit is both God’s gift to us and the giver of spiritual gifts. As believers, we receive gifts from God, and we are also called to be generous gift-givers.

In the New Testament, the word steward means “house manager.” Stewards in the time of Jesus benefited from their important role in the house, but they also recognized that the house belonged to their master. A steward’s ultimate job was to manage the household for the master’s purposes. 

In the same way, God blesses us with gifts not just for our benefit, but also so that we will bless others by the way we steward our gifts. As part of our 2025 theme, ENGAGE, this series explores how we can be faithful stewards of our gifts.
