Stewardship: Talents

Description
Stewardship of time, talent and money is thinking too small. Stewardship is about shared ministry. It involves the whole person. God wants us totally. God wants everything that makes us gloriously unique. Why? Because He is sovereign. The "I" and "me" fights against God.

All things are a gift from God. Happiness, love, joy, peace, security and significance all flow from our relationship with God. The focus and energy of our life, thoughts, time and talents are going to be where ever our treasure - our heart - is at.

What is it that I manage? Whatever God has placed in my hand. God can take the ordinary and make it extraoridinary when we see with spiritual eyes.

God has placed opportunity in our hand to evangelize, empathize, and energize. He has given us talents and abilities that He enables. He has given us power to demolish obstacles and to accomplish. There are natural and spiritual giftings. Natural giftings would include talents given before birth, personality, unique experiences or hurts. Spiritua gifts are given when we become a believer from the Holy Spirit. Every Christian has atleast one spiritual gift. The reason for gifts are to equip the saints for ministry, to build up the body of Christ, and to bring each other to maturity.

If everyone does not bring or exercise their gifts the body of Christ suffers, is not fully equipped, and lacks in maturity. To be a good steward, we must identify our gifts, understand and develop our gifts, excercise our gifting, encourage and assist others.

The Hard Passages of Genesis: Noah and the Flood

John Pyle

10/21/2020

John Pyle

Description
First, God said He was going to wipe out humankind from the earth by flood because of their wickedness. Ended up all of humankind was not destroyed and sin was still a problem. So why the flood? And what changed? As we look deeper into this passage in Genesis, we may not get all our questions answered, but I believe we will gain insight and begin to understand better the heart of God.

The Hard Passages of Genesis: Abraham and Isaac

John Pyle

10/28/2020

John Pyle

Description
Does God test us? Why? What does God really want? Would He ask me to give up the thing I hold most dear? As we look at the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis, we will discover the answers to some of the questions. Let your faith be challenged and expanded by the example of Abraham.

A Broad View of Stewardship

Description
What is stewardship? Managing something that is entrusted to your care. An Old Testament steward held the highest position in a household and was in charge of it. In th New Testament stewards must be found trustworthy, exhorted to be faithful and wise--To whom much is given, much is required.

We are to be stewards of God. We don't own anything. Everything we have belongs to God and has been given to us to manage for God's glory. When we grasp this principle it changes how we perceive our use of God's resourses--time, energy, money, creativity, talents, spiritual gifts, and relationships. One day we will give an account of what God entrusted to us so we will know, and He will know, if He can entrust us with all things. We are called to be joint heirs with Jesus.

God has sown something in you and I. The good soil produces fruit from the seed God has placed in us, some 30, 60 or 100 fold. The amount of return matters not, what is important is that we use what He has placed in us.

What is God's expectation? That we bear fruit by doing the work of the ministry. The use of what God has given us yields fruit, and because of that fruit we are given more. The seed of Christ is planted in us. Will we allow it to mature in us.

The challenge: Live life in god, walking with Him. Be a minister. Grasp your calling. The God of the universe will take notice and reward you openly. Be a good steward of all that God has given you.

Liz Dowdy

Description
Many times we have questions, we have excuses, we wonder can God really use us to make a difference. We may even ask, “Can God really make a difference? Can God change things?” The answer is “yes”. God is real and He is relevant in our everyday life. Believe. And be encouraged.

Heaven - Why Think About It Now?

Liz Dowdy

4/15/2021

Liz Dowdy

Description
Our destiny seems a long way off, so why think about it now? Because our eternal future depends on today. Heaven’s priorities can be part of life here on earth. Focusing on heavenly things puts earthly things in perspective. The more we regard the world as God does, the more we live in harmony with Him and the less we are attached to what is temporary.

Christmas: Jesus Born King of the Jews

Liz Dowdy

12/30/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
As we end the year and find ourselves wrapping up our Bible reading in Revelation we may wonder, “How does that connect with the Christmas story?” The gifts the wise men brought when they came to worship Jesus have great significance. There is a correlation between that and what is recorded in Revelation 5.

Liz Dowdy

12/9/2020

Prophecies began to be fulfilled when Jesus was born. There were over 300 Old Testament prophecies about Jesus. This session will focus on three: That Jesus would be the Son of God, that He would be born of a woman and that he would be born of a virgin.

Liz Dowdy

12/2/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
Session 1 in the Christmas series. The first Christmas happened in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago with the birth of Jesus. But is that where Christmas originated? As we look at the Scripture, we will discover the roots go much deeper. Because of God’s great love for us, He has had a plan all along to redeem mankind.

I Am the Lord

Exodus 6

4/15/2020

Liz Dowdy

Exodus 6

Description
Like the U.S., Israel was facing its worst national crisis. Was God relevant? Was He big enough? Could He help? They knew Him as God Almighty, but He wanted them to know Him as Lord. Let’s look together and discover what that really means and realize He wants the same for me and you.

Jesus Calms the Storm

Liz Dowdy

4/17/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
Kids sing-a-long with Nick Wentworth, then listen to the story of how Jesus calmed the storm for his disciples. When you feel afraid…when you feel alone…when you are hurting, you only need to do what Peter did and call on Jesus to help you.

I'm Glad You Have "The Big C"

Liz Dowdy

5/20/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
Session 1 of a 3-week study. So you may think it strange to say to someone, “I’m glad you have “the big C”. That is because we think “The Big C” is Coronavirus, cancer, or crisis. But these and many other c-words are the problem. Not the answer. “The Big C” that gives life and hope is Christ.

Liz Dowdy

The second coming of Christ will be personal and imminent. Jesus foreshadowed His coming in the parables. His coming is our hope. At His second coming it is not to save from sin, but to reward us for our righteous works. His coming is the doorway to eternity.

Do Not Fear God Is In Control

Liz Dowdy

9/2/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
Our culture instills fear and the belief that we are the only ones who can handle our problems. We need to know that fear is not from God. God calls us to remember that He is in control of all things and His grace is sufficient. We cannot stop our feelings, but we can stop the way we respond to our feelings.

Confront Your Fears and Defeat Them

Liz Dowdy

9/9/2020

Forgiveness - Hurt People, Hurt People

Liz Dowdy

9/30/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
Why do I need to forgive if I am the one hurting? Forgiveness is complicated. Often our hurts stem from circumstances, actions, and needs all interwoven together. Over time things compound and we end up with resentment and bitterness. The only thing that can set us free is forgiveness. And how do we get it? Ask.

Forgiveness How Often Must We Give It?

Liz Dowdy

10/14/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
We put up with some things, even forgive a few times, but what about when we are offended by the same person over and over again? Is enough ever enough? Not according to Jesus. Romans 12 gives us insight in how to respond when faced with this challenge. Forgiveness is not something we do for others. It is something we do for ourselves. Forgiveness is not a feeling; it is a decision. And that decision will bring us freedom.

Forgiveness Is Always A Choice

Liz Dowdy

9/23/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
Why is it so hard to forgive? Unforgiveness is so much easier than forgiveness. It is our first response. It comes natural with no effort. But God wants us to live in the supernatural. He wants us to live in His power. He wants us to forgive. Forgiveness is hard because it requires us to change.

Forgiveness - Accepting Responsibility

Liz Dowdy

10/7/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
Not asking for forgiveness has negative ongoing consequences in all areas. Living with unforgiveness not only affects us, but it affects future generations. How do we stop the cycle of unforgiveness? Deal with the issue and get rid of the guilt. Be free from living in victim mode.

Forgiveness Everyone Needs It

Liz Dowdy

9/16/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
We all need to give and receive forgiveness. We need forgiveness from God, others and self. When people hurt us, it is important to know their reasons. What is easier for you to forgive? Bad actions or bad attitudes. Tough question. Remember this, forgiveness is always a choice we make.

Heaven A Place for Overcomers

Liz Dowdy

4/21/2021

Liz Dowdy

Description
Do you realize there will be different degrees of rewards in heaven? The essence of each reward will be more of what the Christian desires most, a deepening of his love-relationship with the Savior. These rewards are for overcomers. There are seven “To him who overcomes” in Revelation 2 and 3 that we will talk about in this session.

Why Do We Keep Praying

Liz Dowdy

2/3/2021

Liz Dowdy

Description
Session 1 - What is prayer? Why don’t we pray more? Does it make a difference? Maybe you have questions like these. As we look at the example of Jesus – when and why He prayed – we will gain insight to encourage us in our own prayer life.

Why Do We Keep Praying Pt 3

Liz Dowdy

2/21/2021

Liz Dowdy

Description
God always answers when we pray, often in one of four ways. Yes. Wait. Different than expected. No. Now that last one is a tough one that nobody wants to hear. So, what about when the answer is “No”. What do we do? Let’s talk about it and gain some fresh perspective.

Bad Things Happen...Don't Give Up

Liz Dowdy

6/17/2020

Liz Dowdy

Description
Bad things happen even to good people. Knowing our Source enables us to survive the pain. We must choose to look either at the suffering or at the reason behind it. Suffering affects the person experiencing he pain and the person watching. Suffering makes us bitter or better. We choose. Something valuable can be gained from our suffering.
