BIBLICAL STEWARDSHIP
Pstr Edwin Tan
Passage Luke 16:10-12:
10He that is
faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust
in the least is unjust also in much.
11If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
I. ELEVATION
Faith should be dynamic… continue moving.
1.) FAITHFULNESS – Luke 16: 10-12; Jer. 12:5, Matt. 6:26
a.) Things that are LITTLE
There are no little things in God’s eyes, it’s faithfulness that counts.
b.) Things that are LITERAL (v.11) example is money.
c.) Things that are LOANED.
How can you be more careful on the things that you own if you can’t take care of the things that do not belong to you?
2.) FORTITUDE – Luke 19:13, 20, 21, 24 (courage)
a.) RESOURCES – widow and Macedonian churches (they give what they have, regardless of how much it is)
Dreaming beyond the ordinary is also pleasing in God’s eyes, even though we may not achieve it. (giving of material things)
b.) RELATIONSHIP – Abraham & God the Father ( giving of their Sons)
c.) RENUNCIATION of Self – John 15:13, Romans 5:8
3.) FORESIGHT – Luke 16: 1-9
a.) COMMENDATION
b.) COMPARISON
c.) CHALLENGE (v.9)
II. EFFECTS
1.) LASTING EFFECT (v. 19b – 20b)
2.) LOVING EFFECT (v.21, Colossians 3:2)
3.) LIBERATING EFFECT (v. 22 -24)
Pilgrims – trancient. They only carry minimum things with them until they arrive at the final destination.
Out main purpose here os to battle and rattle Satan so we could free other people.
