His Talents; Not Mine

January 8, 2017 Speaker: Scott Hanberry Series: His; Not Mine

Topic: Stewardship Scripture: Exodus 3–4

His; Not Mine
Exodus 3 & 4 
Dr. Scott Hanberry

The Fundamental Issue - OWNERSHIP!

Our Fundamental Calline - STEWARDSHIP!

Most fights, wars, lawsuits are over MINE!

This self-focused attitude leads to FEAR , frustration & fighting. 

The joke is that the word "mine" in its fully possessive sense cannot be uttered by a human being about anything. In the long run either Our Father or the Enemy will say "mine" of each thing that exists, and especially of each man. They will find out in the end, never fear, to whom their time, their souls, and their bodies really belong - certainly not to them, whatever happens.
~ C. S. Lewis (The Screwtape Letters)

1) We come to God on HIS terms,  not ours! (Vs. 5) 

2) We are a part of God's purposes, not ours! (Vs. 10) 

                  On a daily basis, you need to acknowledge before God that He is the owner.

                  When you acknowledge God rightly, you have nothing to hide, nothing to 
                   prove, nothing to lose

3) Our availability + His ability gives Him glory and us success. (Ex. 4:12) 

                    When we shift from ownership to stewardship: Fear, frustration, & fighting
                     turns into freedom, fulfillment, & peace.

LIFE GUIDE VERSE: 

The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. 
Psalm 24:1
