Stewardship: God's Principles of Investment


Stewardship: God's Principles of Investment
Text: Matthew 6:19-24

A Principle is a comprehensive and fundamental law or rule.
We cannot be obedient nor can we be blessed if we refuse to obey God's Principles.

I. The Decision Principle of Investment
    A. Decide to obey ALL God's Principles
    B. Decide to obey God's Kingdom Principle of Riches (Matthew 6:19-24)
    C. Your decision is all important

II. The Giving Principle of Investment
    A. Giving and receiving can be a never ending cycle
    B. God is looking for a giving channel he can use to bless others

III. The Guaranteed Return Principle
    A. God guarantees a high yield on our investment
    B. God's guaranteed returns are measured, not by what we give, but by what we have left over.
    C. God guarantees a return on our investment according to the principle of Sowing and Reaping.

God's investment principles run contrary to the world.
The real joys of the Christian life are found in giving.
Stephen Underwood
Acts 20:24
