Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Please see attached the Bible Study outline for Sunday 16, November entitled “Spiritual Vigilance – A prepared Steward”.  This is the next study in our Quarter Series on Stewardship.  The main text is Mathew 25:1-13 and the key learning points are as follows:

1.    Jesus put a lot of emphasis on preparedness.  It is a critical element of stewardship: the rewards for being prepared are immense, the consequences of not being prepared are dire and eternal.

2.    If we are born again, we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.  We have everything we need to be prepared but we must present ourselves to “go on being filled” so that we can maintain a vibrant, rich relationship so that when He comes, He will know us.

3.    It is the responsibility of each believer to have “oil in the lamp”.  Preparedness is not something that can borrowed or lent.  The call will come suddenly and unexpectedly and each of us will stand or fall according to our own state of preparedness.

Yours in Christ

Beloved,

Please find attached the next Bible study in our Quarter Series on Stewardship. The topic is “Stewardship and Self-Sacrifice.  The main text is Romans 12:1-8 and the key learning points are as follows:

1.    Jesus demands daily self-denial or self-sacrifice as an entry level requirement of his followers.

2.    Stewardship in the service of God demands consecration and transformation through renewing our mind by the Word but it is given in the knowledge of, and response to, the greater treasure that God has given us

3.    Transformation through renewing our minds prepares us for the right use of spiritual gifts to selflessly build up the Body of Christ in readiness for His return

My sincere apologies for the late submission.

Yours in His service

Beloved,

Please see the attached Bible Study Outline on the topic “Faithful Stewardship of God’s Treasure.  The main texts are 2 Kings 12:1-15 and Mathew 25:14-30.  This is the next in our Quarter series on Stewardship.  The key learning points are as follows:

1. Money management begins with recognizing God’s ownership. He gives us resources according to our abilities; our role is to manage what He entrusts to us wisely, responsibly, and with integrity.

2. God calls His people to faithful, fruitful stewardship. Faithfulness, not equal outcomes, is what God rewards.

3. Neglect born of fear or laziness leads to loss, but faith-driven diligence leads to joy and increase.

Yours in Christ

Beloved,

Attached is the Bible Study Outline for Sunday, 19 October on the topic, Stewardship of Time.  This is the next topic in the Quarter series on the theme of Stewardship.   The main texts are Ephesians 5:15-17, James 4:14,17 and 2 Corinthians 6:1-4 and the main learning points are as follows:

1.    Time belongs to God.  Our days are not our own, they are entrusted to us for a purpose.

2.    To number our days is to live with awareness and intention.  Wise people evaluate how they spend their time and order their priorities in the light of eternity.

3.    Redeeming the time means to seize every opportunity for good. We should align our daily priorities according to God’s will and not delay in obedience or purpose-driven living.

Yours in Christ

Good evening, Beloved,

Please see the attached Bible Study outline for the topic “God equips us for stewardship.  This is the next in our Quarter Series on Stewardship.  The main texts are Exodus 31:1-6, and Exodus 35:1.  The key learning points are as follows:

1.    God calls and equips specific people. Spiritual calling is not only for prophets or priests, but also for artisans, builders, and craftsmen.

2.    The work of building the Tabernacle was holy because it was commanded by God and done according to His pattern. Everyday work, when dedicated to God, becomes sacred service.

3.    Our work is worship and so must be done as He has commanded.  God is concerned with precision and excellence, and we should be too.

Beloved,

Please find the attached Bible Study Outline on the topic “We are God’s Stewards”.  This is the first in our new quarter series on the theme “Stewardship”.    The main text is Luke 12:35 – 48, and the key learning points are as follows:

1.    As disciples of Christ, we are to be watchful and ready, waiting for our Master’s return, focused on the business of the kingdom of God.

2.    We are stewards of God, entrusted with the Gospel, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and richly blessed in many ways.  It is required of us to be faithful with all He has given us.

3.    To whom much is given, much is expected.  Those who know the will of God and don’t do it will be held accountable.  Ignorance defence for God will give wisdom to those who ask in faith.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Please find the attached Bible Study Outline on the topic “Manifest as a child of God”.  This is the next study in the Quarter Series on “ Letters to the Churches.  What is the Lord saying to us?”.  The main text is 1 John 3:1-10, and the key learning points are as follows:

1.    Those who have entered God’s extravagant love through Christ are already His children, though we may not quite look like it to the world around, nor have we fully entered that character.

2.    Practicing righteousness is not just a moral obligation but evidence of a genuine relationship with Christ. Our actions should reflect our faith.

3.    The refusal to practice sin is not about achieving sinless perfection but indicates a break from the pattern of sin that characterizes those who are not in Christ.
