Stewardship 2026 Series - Part 3 "Making Moves with My Money!"

Jan 18, 2026    Pastor Arthur J. James

This week’s message takes us deep into Matthew 6:19-21, where Jesus teaches us about the profound connection between our treasure and our hearts. As we explore what it means to be faithful stewards in 2026, we discover four critical moves to make with our money: sow, save, spend, and share. The wisdom here isn't just about financial management—it's about understanding that everything we have is on loan from God, and we're called to be managers, not owners. The message draws on powerful scriptures like Proverbs 21:20, which contrasts the wise who save with fools who spend everything, and 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, reminding us that God loves a cheerful giver. We're challenged to examine where we're planting our seeds, whether we're investing in God's kingdom first, and if we're managing resources with wisdom and obedience. The message confronts our emotional spending, our lack of budgeting, and our tendency to hoard rather than share. Most importantly, it reminds us that where our treasure is, there our heart will be also—making financial stewardship not just a practical matter, but a deeply spiritual one that reveals what we truly value and whom we truly serve.
