Stewardship

Webster Dictionary states that a steward is a person put in charge of something. Are you being a good steward with what God has blessed you with? Whether it be time, money, Sunday School, Bible Study or time spent with God in study and meditation. Are you truly being a Godly steward or are you cheating God? Please think very seriously on these questions.

Will a man rob God: Malachi 3:8. Have you robbed God of tithes and offering? Have you not bought tithes into his storehouse?

Fanci Harrington
Stewardship Director

ANTIOCH, A CHURCH ON THE MOVE
SPIRITUALLY

Acts 13:1-4

The local church that is on the move spiritually must exhibit the qualities of
a New testament Church. We also will find that in Matthew 16:13-19. Jesus incorporates His Church thereby setting its membership and purpose. The members of the church are those who know Jesus as the Christ, the
Son of the Living God. The purpose of the church is to prevail against the gates of Hell.

1. God is always at work around you.

2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.

3. God invited you to become involved with Him at His work.

4. God speaks by His Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purpose, and His ways.

5. God's invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.

6. You must make major adjustments in your life to join God.

7. You come to know God by experience as you obey Him and He accomplishes His work through you.
