Treasure principal: Godly Stewardship
Is what I have here on earth worth more than what God has in store for me in heaven?! Stewardship is about managing. We are all stewards.
Matthew 25:14-30
Everyone is going to come into some kind of wealth in your life. It may not be as much as your neighbors and it will only be as much as your ability! Who are you in this story.
Luke 16:1-13
There is an account. God will evaluate how we manage our funds.
Three reasons we are poor money mangers:
Greed, laziness, idolatry.
Ephesians 5:1-5
John 8:31-33

Joy of giving!
Joy of giving!
Many world views. Most are selfish in nature. Our world view is Christian. The Christian view is selfless. Even John 3:16 -- for God so loved the world that he GAVE! God always gives and he continues to give! We are never more like Jesus than when we give!
To be a giver you have to have a reason to give! The first century Christians gave up everything. Why? They were captured by the son of God! Luke 4:16-21
To have joy in giving will require sacrifice!
Matthew 20:24-28
We can't just be good American Christians! God calls for a life of sacrifice and servitude! Mark 12:43 Jesus was watching! Faith is important to be able to give sacrificially.
You got to give to live! Luke 6:38
Real giving leads to real joy! Acts 20:35; Proverbs 11:25; 1 Chronicles 29:14

Luke 2:41-47
What were you doing at 12 years old. What one word best describes you at 12?
Jesus did three things!
Listened, asked questions and understood.
Jesus listens! To be a great listener you have too...Practice humility, seek understanding, patiently love!
I need to be sensitive to what people are going through. Staying connected in the word creates sensitivity and helps you to be aware of other peoples needs.
Proverbs 18:13
Jesus was a master at asking questions! Proverbs 20:4. Questions draw people out and lead to sustainable change.
Mark 6:38
We need to ask questions that help people see the resources that are in front of them. Questions help people become solution oriented.
Resources:
Church, power of scripture, holy spirit, relationships, goals in life!...ect.
