Life Reimagined: Your Mission, If You Choose to Accept It

We continue our series on our journey of life reimagined to a life of fruitfulness, abundance, joy, and peace as stewards of God. We don’t have to be stewards, but we get to be stewards. As stewards, we get to be sons and daughters to whom God has given us full authority with the responsibility to manage our part of God’s family business. We care for, nurture, expand, and multiply in fruitfulness in every aspect of creation and life. Yet, we don’t always experience that good, beautiful, and abundant life. Often, something seems missing in our lives; our lives are telling us we need to recalibrate, realign, reboot, and reimagine, in order to get back in step with who God is, who we are, and who God has made us to be as stewards. Recall our definition of stewardship: Stewardship is trusting in the promises of God, deploying the resources of God, to accomplish the mission of God, for the glory of God. Last week, Dr. Long laid the foundation that stewardship begins with trusting in the promises of God. God’s promises affirm God’s love, care, and commitment toward us. Trusting in the promises of God means we can relax and trust God’s faithfulness, and focus on being the stewards God invites us to be. In this message, we will focus on the next two parts of the stewardship definition: we deploy the resources of God to accomplish the mission of God.
