Managers, Not Owners

biblical stewardship theme

Scripture consistently treats human beings as stewards rather than ultimate owners. Time, money, abilities, influence—all are received and will be accounted for. The shift from “mine” to “entrusted” changes how we hold things. Stewards ask different questions than owners do.

How you’d preach it

Everything we “have” is held in trust. The question is faithfulness, not possession.
