Sharing Our Abundance

OUR 

SCRIPTURE

Luke 19:1-10

REFLECT

Stewardship is also about money. How are we using what we have, both money and possessions, to help the people around us? Zacchaeus had been a thief, growing in wealth illegally by taking from others. His eyes were opened by Jesus that this is not the way God calls us to live, these are not the values we are called to live by. We are not called to steward our money to get richer, but rather, to steward our money to make sure others have enough. How are you stewarding your assets with a focus of making sure others have what they need? How can you take a brave and bold step like Zaccheaus and give to others generously?

ACT

Do you have a budget spreadsheet? Or maybe an app that you use? We invite you to sit down and see where there is room for change, with a focus on others. Is there wiggle room for you to give more? Or what about your possessions, do you have more than you need? Any way you can give to people who need more? It is hard and vulnerable work, but also holy and important.
