Understanding Stewardship

Stewardship is emphasized as a crucial concept in our relationship with resources, highlighting the difference between viewing ourselves as owners versus caretakers. This perspective shifts the responsibility from a sense of entitlement to one of management, recognizing that everything we possess ultimately belongs to God. John Mark shares his experience of visiting a beautifully maintained property cared for by a devoted steward, illustrating that our role is to manage God's resources for His purposes rather than hoarding them for ourselves. This insight encourages a mindset where we see our possessions as tools to serve and bless others, rather than personal assets for consumption.
