Stewardship: Who owns it? | Titus Leger

Main message: The sermon teaches that joy with money comes from seeing everything as God’s possession, ourselves as stewards, and our resources as tools to build God’s kingdom. It emphasizes that while salvation is by grace through faith, God also rewards faithful stewardship and calls believers to generous, intentional use of what He entrusts to them.

Key points:

• God owns everything; nothing in our possession is truly ours.
• Believers are stewards/managers, responsible for using God’s resources in His absence.
• God rewards faithful stewardship, but good works do not earn salvation.
• True generosity includes giving toward what God cares about most, especially His kingdom and church.
• Wise stewardship also includes budgeting, saving, and getting out of debt.
• Tithing is presented as a biblical starting point for giving, not the endpoint.
