The Way of the Saint - Stewardship

Pastor Devin Mitchem

In this sermon, Pastor Devin discusses the biblical principle of stewardship, emphasizing that we are managers, not owners, of what God has given us. He traces the concept of tithing from Abraham (400 years before the Law) through the Old Testament, showing it was a covenant relationship with God rather than just a legal obligation. The pastor clarifies that tithing isn't about God needing our money but about our heart posture and obedience. He addresses common misconceptions about tithing being only an Old Testament concept by showing Jesus' affirmation of it and its practice in the early church.

Everything we have belongs to God; we are managers, not owners of our resources.

Tithing was established as a principle of faith and trust in God before it became law, showing it's about relationship, not just obligation.

Our attitude toward money reveals our heart posture toward God and our level of trust in His provision.

Stewardship isn't just about an amount—it's about allegiance and obedience to God.

God promises to meet our needs when we faithfully steward what He has given us.
