Everyday Stewardship / Striving for Maturity
Therefore, let us leave behind the basic teaching about Christ and advance to maturity, without laying the foundation all over again: repentance from dead works and faith in God, instruction about baptisms* and laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. And we shall do this, if only God permits. Hebrews 6:1-3…

Everyday Stewardship / Tummies Full of Love
When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Two hundred days’ wages worth of food…

God Smiling Upon Us
Another characteristic of an everyday steward is that he/she is prayerful. It would seem that would be a given. Certainly any follower of Jesus is called to pray.

Everyday Stewardship (Pentecost 2015)
My oldest son was having a tougher time than expected in his first year of college. In high school he expected to get A’s and be one of the smarter kids in the class. Now, he was at a school where everyone came from a similar experience in high school, and he found himself pretty…

Everyday Stewardship (Ascension 2015)
Some celebrated this yesterday, but most will observe the feast this Sunday. There is a great need in our current world for more Jesus sightings. You used to hear about Elvis sightings from time to time, but we do not need sightings of the King of Rock n Roll. We need sightings of the King…
