Stewardship: Opening the Windows of Heaven

Malachi 3: 6-12

(sermon outline for Sunday Feb. 15)

You can honor God in the way you manage your resources and responsibilities.

• Stewardship is management of all of the resources in your care.

• Tithing is a prime stewardship discipline.

Bring your full tithe to the Temple treasury so there will be ample provisions in my Temple. Test me in this and see if I don't open up heaven itself to you and pour out blessings beyond your wildest dreams.
                                                Malachi 3:10 The Message

·        The discipline of stewardship leads us to continually re-evaluate and reorganize our priorities and commitments.

• God opens the windows of heaven in response to our stewardship.

God’s plan for Christian stewardship is relevant for all of the seasons of life, whether seasons of recession or seasons of prosperity.

God has entrusted you with a crucial management opportunity.  And God is cheering for you to succeed.
