Kingdom Principle:
We are called to be faithful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us, using them to further His Kingdom and help others.
Misconception:
Some believe that hoarding wealth and resources is a sign of God's blessing. However, Jesus teaches that true stewardship involves generosity and investment in the Kingdom, opposing unjust economics and consumerism.
Scripture:
Matthew 25:14-30 (ESV) - "'For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away... His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’"
Discussion Questions:
1. How can we practice faithful stewardship of the resources God has given us?
2. What are some ways we can demonstrate generosity in our daily lives?
