Owner vs. Manager

Matthew 25:14-30
Listen

01. The Law

The Kingdom's economy: God is the Owner; we are Managers (Stewards). Nothing you "have" is yours; it's on loan. Your breath, money, and children are God's property trusted to your temporary care.

"Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much."

02. The Mechanics

The mechanics: faithfulness. God doesn't ask the 2-talent guy to produce 5. The third servant's sin wasn't theft, but hiding (laziness). Principle: manage the little well, get promoted to much. Neglect the little, lose everything.

03. The Application

Do you live as owner or manager? Owners grip tight in fear; managers hold with open hands asking, "Master, where should I invest this?". Prosperity is managing God's resources for God's purposes.
