Title: Stewards

This episode reflects on the life-changing experience of being washed, filled with the Holy Spirit, and made whole through Jesus Christ . It looks back to that moment of clarity when the “lights came on” and the fracture within was healed, drawing attention to the power of Calvary and Pentecost working personally in a believer’s life.
Using the parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16, the message challenges every believer to see themselves as a steward—entrusted with time, resources, and influence. There is a clear call to prepare for the day when our stewardship is called into account, not by building “bigger barns,” but by pursuing true riches: wisdom, knowledge, joy, and faithfulness in the small things.
It concludes with an encouragement from 2 Peter 1 to press into the Kingdom, add virtue to faith, and live as partakers of the divine nature—confident that we are washed, justified, and sanctified, and called to glory and virtue.
Key Points / Takeaways
- We are stewards of everything God has entrusted to us, and one day we will give account.
- True riches are found in wisdom, knowledge, joy, and faithfulness—not material security.
