New Covenant Church Iju Centre, Lagos. Bible Study Series from May 11th 2021. Theme: Stewardship Texts: Matthew 25:14 - 30, Psalm 24:1, Mark 12:41- 44, What is Stewardship? Stewardship is defined as conducting, supervising, or managing of something especially the careful and responsibility management of something enthrusted to one's care. A biblical world view of stewardship can be consciously defined as: "Utilizing and managing all resources God provides for the glory of God and the betterment of His creation." [2] The central essence of biblical world view of Stewardship is managing everything God brings into the believer's life in a manner that honours God and impacts eternity. Stewardship begins and ends with the understanding of God's ownership of all: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." (Revelation 22:13) "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." (Psalm 24:1) "To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it." (Deuteronomy 10:14) "The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants." (Leviticus 25:23) "Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me." (Job 41:11) Stewardship is further supported and sustained theologically on the understanding of God's holiness as found in such verse as: Genesis 1:2, Psalm 104, Psalm 113, 1 Chronicles 29:10-20, Colossians 1:16, Rev. 1:8. Who is a steward? 1. A person employed _to look after_ the passenger on a ship, aircraft or train. 2. An official appointed to _supervise_ arrangements or keep order at a large public event, for example a race, match, or demonstration. 3. A person employed to _manage another's_ property, especially large house or estate. 3. A steward is a person who manages another's property or financial affairs; an agent of another, a person who has charge of the household of another, buying or obtaining food, _directing_ the servants. A good steward is accountable without prompting or prodding. A good steward believe in sustainability. They understand that they are building value not for themselves but for others. Stewardship in the Bible is one of the essential lessons we need to learn |

*New Covenant Church Iju.* *Bible Study Outline* 18th May 2021 Theme: *Stewardship* Sub-theme *Living as stewards* When we think of stewardship, does taking care of the environment come to mind? Does managing an estate come to mind? These and much more are parts of what it means to be a steward. But they don't paint a complete picture of the biblical stewardship meaning. In short: Biblical stewardship is one of the primary ways *Christ calls us to live our life.* It’s a theme in the Bible you can trace from Genesis to Revelation. It’s a *calling rooted in creation* , highlighted throughout the Bible, and *influences* the way you live your life for the glory of God. In this Study, we're going answer some common questions and highlight the big themes of what it means to be a steward In the Bible, stewardship is another way of talking about how you live your life. In the New Testament books, the word “steward” is rooted in the Greek word “oikonomos,” which means “the manager of a household." Has someone ever asked you to watch their kids? Are you responsible for managing an office or people on behalf of an employer? Do you have a financial advisor overseeing your investments? If you answered yes to any of these three questions, then you are or have been a steward. In general, to steward is to manage something on someone’s behalf. Whether a family member, friend, or employer asks you to watch over something, then you're stewarding—managing—whatever they entrusted to your care. If you were a steward in Ancient Greek culture, you were not the owner of the house. Instead you would have been the manager of the house and the household affairs. From making sure the home was clean to managing the finances and perhaps servants, you would have managed everything on behalf of the owner. Stewardship in the Bible has to do with understanding that your life is not your own. *Your life is on loan from God—* regardless if you acknowledge this or not—and God calls you to steward everything about your life for his glory and the good of others. To help you see the duties of a steward in the Bible, let’s look at Biblical texts on stewardship that will give you a better idea of what biblical stewardship means. The Bible has a lot to say about stewardship, but here are seven big themes emphasized in biblical texts on stewardship: 1. *Christ created everything* It Bible begins with the very first verse. We see in this passage that Christ is the creator of everything: He created the universe, the planet, and he created you. There’s not one particle in the entire world that was not created by Christ. This is the beginning of all biblical stewardship principles. This theme is picked up in the New Testament. In Colossians, we read, “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth… all things were created through him and for him” (Col. 1:15-16). The foundation of stewardship is built upon this reality. Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” 2. *Christ owns everything* Not only did Christ create everything; Christ owns everything ( Job 41:11; 1 Tim. 4:3-5). This is the beginning of all biblical stewardship principles. Your life is on loan from Christ. He has given you your life to steward for his glory and your good. As the owner of everything, God desires for all things to be redeemed (Col. 1:20), including people, governments, businesses, and the arts. Said another way: God desires for everything to bring him glory (1 Cor. 10:31). Psalm 24:1: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein." 3. *Christ delegates responsibility* Christ calls us to manage what he created on his behalf. If you haven’t noticed, you do not see the individual members of the Trinity farming, building houses, or preaching the gospel. But, if you look with the eyes of faith, you can see God meeting the needs of people, drawing them to himself in faith, and tending to his creation through billions of people around the world. This theme of participating in God’s work is picked up by Paul in his first letter to the church at Corinth: “For we are God’s fellow workers… “ (1. Cor. 3:9). Elsewhere, Paul mentions that we are “working together with him… “ (2 Cor. 6:1). God is at work in your life and around the world, and you have the privilege of participating in his work. Just look through the books of the bible to see many people that Christ has delegated responsibility to. When Jesus builds his church, he does so through our participation in his work by preaching the gospel. When you eat your bread and tea for breakfast, Christ provided it for you through the work of farmers, bakers, truck drivers, and grocery stores. We could go on about gratitude and thanksgiving in the Bible. But get the point. Genesis 1:26-28: "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'” |
