The Heart of a Steward – Living Worthy of the Blessing | Pastor Daniel Kolson

Blessing is not the finish line — it’s the starting line of stewardship.

In Week 2 of our Blessed to Be a Blessing series, Pastor Daniel teaches on the heart behind biblical stewardship. If Week 1 showed us that God is the Source, Week 2 reveals that we are the stewards — entrusted with time, talent, treasure, influence, and even our pain.

Using the Parable of the Talents, the mandate of Genesis, and powerful stories from R.G. LeTourneau, William Wilberforce, and Corrie ten Boom, this sermon challenges us to live not as owners, but as faithful stewards of all God has entrusted to us.

Stewardship is not about how much you have — it’s about how faithful you are with what you’ve been given.

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Matthew 25:14–30 – The Parable of the Talents

• Luke 16:10–12 – “One who is faithful in little is also faithful in much…”

• Genesis 1:26–28 – God’s original mandate to steward creation

• Matthew 25:21 – “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

• 2 Corinthians 9:6–8 – “God loves a cheerful giver.”

• 1 Peter 4:10–11 – Stewards of God’s varied grace

• 1 Chronicles 29:14 – “All things come from You, and of Your own have we given You.”

• Psalm 24:1 – “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.”

• 2 Corinthians 9:10–11 – God multiplies seed for faithful stewards
