Managing Me
Stewardship begins by recognizing that we belong to God. First Corinthians 6:19–20 teaches us that the Holy Spirit lives within us and that being bought with a price changes how we handle our bodies, choices, and priorities.
We are responsible for managing ourselves before we can faithfully manage anything else God entrusts to us. Following Christ means yielding our agenda to God and honoring Him in the ordinary decisions of daily life.

Philippians 2 shows Jesus as our template for a well-managed mind. We were challenged to think like Christ by reject…
Stir Up The Gift
Elder Gary Harvey · Sep 27, 2026
We were challenged to face the question God asks of every steward: “What did you do with what I gave you?” From 2 Timothy 1:6–7, we were reminded that stewardship is bigger than money—it includes our time, relationships, opportunities, influence, and the gifts God has entrusted to us. Faithfulness isn’t proven by busyness, applause, or visible activity, but by caring for the assignment God actually placed in our hands. We were called to recognize what God has entrusted to us and stop burying i…
