04/02/2024 | Open Handed | What Is Mine Is Yours | Tim Chilvers
Riverside Church, Birmingham, UK
TEACHING SERIES: Open Handed
SERMON TITLE: What Is Mine Is Yours
BY: Tim Chilvers
DATE: Sunday 4 February 2024
BIBLE PASSAGES:
1 Chronicles – Chapter 29, verses 10-18
Psalm 24 – verse 1
Matthew – Chapter 26, verses 6-13
EXCERPT:
Have you ever been trusted to look after something that wasn’t yours? How did you act? If you ask any best-man at a wedding, one of the most nerve-wracking jobs is to look after the wedding rings! They’re not yours, you’ve got one job – to look after them for the purpose of the owner. You get it wrong, everything goes pear-shaped! But, get it right and joy abounds…
That’s what it means to be a steward. When it comes to being generous, it starts with recognising that we are stewards. Everything we have comes from God, and is to be used for God. Recognising this is an immensely freeing thing – as it sets us free to not worry about whether we have enough, and how we should use what God has given us.
Welcome:
What's true of Riverside Church when we meet together in-person is still true of us online. We are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Riverside is a church made up of people from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences all with one thing in common; our discovery of God and His amazing love. We hope you will feel at home among us and that you will find our weekly services, events and groups welcoming and relevant to your life.
