The Big Idea: A steward is rewarded for using the Master’s resources and executing the Master’s will. Philippians 2:1-13 (p. 1012) The two tracks on which God’s economic train run are ALTAR and STEWARDSHIP. STEWARDSHIP: The disciplined lifestyle and focus of someone who has surrendered to the service of God. The Five Components of Stewardship: 1. MASTER- One who imparts the plans and purposes of our stewardship. 2. STEWARD - a person who manages another’s property or financial affairs; one who administers anything as an agent of another. To participate in God’s economy, we must win the MONEY war. Matthew 6:19-24 (p. 832) Luke 16:1-15 (p. 899) 3. RESOURCES - supply, support, or aide provided by the Master for the steward to readily draw upon. 4. EXPECTATION - Productivity is an expectation of the Master. 2 Corinthians 9:12-15 (p. 998) 5. REWARD - given to the Steward. Matthew 25:21 (p. 852) Luke 6:38 (p. 886)
