Time is not just something to spend\u2014it\u2019s something to steward. Talents are not just for personal success\u2014they are tools for kingdom impact. And our resources are not merely for comfort\u2014they are opportunities to reflect God\u2019s generosity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When we choose to manage our lives with intention, we begin to see ordinary moments transformed into acts of worship. A kind word, a diligent effort, a generous act\u2014each becomes a reflection of God\u2019s glory through us.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tithing and generosity remind us that we are not owners, but stewards. Giving is not about obligation; it is about trust. It shifts our focus from scarcity to abundance, from fear to faith. As we release what we have, we make room for God to work in ways we cannot control or predict.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trusting God as our provider means believing that He sees every need and faithfully sustains us. It frees us from striving and anchors us in peace. When we trust Him, we can give boldly, serve joyfully, and live confidently\u2014knowing that the One who provides is also the One who sustains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prayer:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lord, help me to steward my time, talents, and resources for Your glory. Teach me to give with a generous heart and to trust You fully as my provider. Let my life reflect Your goodness in all I do. Amen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Discussion Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00b7 What does the Bible mean by \u201cstewardship\u201d?<br>  How is a steward different from an owner?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00b7 Why is recognizing God as the true owner of everything essential for Christian stewardship?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00b7 In what ways does being a good steward reflect our love for God and neighbor?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00b7 What are some examples of poor stewardship in everyday life?<br>How do these examples reveal what we value?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Application<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Settle in your mind how you will participate in church responsibilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cDZjdM4-VzI&amp;t=656s\">What is Tithing?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lesson 11: Stewardship and Giving Key Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, Malachi 3:10Topics Covered: Discussion Questions Application Settle in your mind how you will participate in church responsibilities What is Tithing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1127","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnameselivingfaith.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnameselivingfaith.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnameselivingfaith.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnameselivingfaith.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnameselivingfaith.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1127"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vietnameselivingfaith.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1128,"href":"https:\/\/vietnameselivingfaith.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1127\/revisions\/1128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnameselivingfaith.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
