When most people hear stewardship, they only think in terms of money, but true, biblical stewardship extends to every area of our lives because it ALL belongs to God.

Stewardship

Part 1

“
What A Waste!”

Luke16:1-13

I. The Account Required
II. The Attitude Revealed
III. The Action Requested

The Root of Pursuit: Salvation brings with it a responsibility of
progressively pursuing the purpose our new identity has given us. We
may not have the same talents, strengths, or open doors, but we all
have the same responsibility: To take what we’ve been given and do
our best with it for the glory of God.

Questions

1. How can you live more like a steward tomorrow, instead of an owner?

2. What are some “little” things we can be faithful in, so one day God will trust us with “bigger” things?

3. What is the most important thing to remember to be a good steward?

4. What is one takeaway from the message?

The Power of One Moment

”

Philippians 3:13-14

I. Forgetting

II. Reaching
III. Pressing

The Root of Pursuit: The key to a life of impact is “definiteness of
purpose”, where you choose to pursue one thing above all else. From
the moment that choice is made in favor of God’s will, a Christian's
life can never be a failure.

Follow up questions:

1. Think of an example of a moment or moments in the past that you took for granted.

2. How can you learn from your past failures and successes to reach a better future?

3. How have you experienced the difficulty of following God and continuing pressing toward the mark?

The Power of One Moment | Philippians 3:13-14 | Pastor Nathan Hawkins

The level of our gratitude is truly tested when our "things" are taken away & we have only God to be thankful for? Is God truly all you need?

"Thankful for Nothing" | Genesis 22:1-14 | Pastor Nathan Hawkins

“Blindly Looking”

II Kings 6:15-17

I. Desperate Situation

II. Dire Summation
III. Direct Solution
IV. Desired Salvation

How this applies The Root of Pursuit: In our pursuit of God & His purpose for our lives,
we will encounter obstacles & enemies that “appear” far too difficult
or beyond our ability. Here we are challenged not to blindly look at
life’s circumstances through our own understanding, but through eyes
of faith.

The Root of Pursuit : Where John says to purify ourselves in anticipation of Christ’s arrival, Paul says to pursue the purpose for which we have been captured. We are perfect in Christ (positionally), yet we (practically) pursue:
Our purpose.
Our purity.
Our position.
In daily practice it is “not as though we had already attained, either were already perfect: but we follow {we pursue}” after our new purpose so we can demonstrate to the world what the good, acceptable and perfect will of God is. {Ref. Phil. 3:12-15; I John 3:1-3; Rom. 12:1,2}

"Blindly Looking" | II Kings 6:15-17 | Pastor Nathan Hawkins

“HAVE YOU NOT READ?”

MATT. 12:3-8

I. PLAN
II. PURPOSE
III. PERSISTENCE

"Have you not read?!" | Matthew 12 | Pastor Nathan Hawkins

“Embracing The Mission"

Part 3

“The Blessing”

I. Victory
II. Vindication
III. Validation

The Root of Purpose: Though purpose brings battles, battles won
bring with them a blessing that cannot be obtained any other way.
