Description

Episode Summary: Paul taught Timothy that genuine Christian leaders are focused not on philosophical speculation or useless theological debate but upon being faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. He instructed Timothy, Charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the STEWARDSHIP from God that is by faith. This term, stewardship, is a very rich word, with an enormous biblical theme behind it to describe our mission as Christ-followers. In fact, Jesus taught that it is being faithful stewards that leads to hearing “well done” from the Master. This episode provides a rich biblical overview of this concept and 5 ways to rule our lives for Jesus.

3. How would you defend the idea that if our outer world is ever going to be ordered for God, the reason will be that we’ve become convinced that the inner world of the spiritual must govern the outer world of activity?
4. Which of the 5 steps given to govern our outer world from the inner world do you most want to remember?
