“OWNERSHIP”
1 Timothy 6:17-19Slide2
17
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty
ofSlide3
riches
, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
18
They are to do good, to be rich in good works, toSlide4
be generous and ready to share,
19
thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so thatSlide5
they may take hold of that which is truly life.Slide6

WHAT I DO WITH
MY
MONEY IS
NO
ONE’S
BUSINESS
BUT
MINE
.Slide7
Talking about
money
makes us
uncomfortable
.Slide8
Most of us
spend
money with no
thought
of
God
or anyone else.Slide9
Very
few
of us keep a
budget
.Slide10
2. GENEROSITY BEGINS WITH A
HEALTHY
VIEW OF
OWNERSHIP

Then King David rose to his feet and said: “Hear me, my brothers and my people. I had it in my heart to build
aSlide13
house
of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for the footstool of our God, and I made preparations for building. Slide14
3
But God said to me, ‘You may not build a house for my name, for you are a man of war and have shed blood.’ Slide15
6
He said to me, ‘It is Solomon your son who shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son,
andSlide16
I
will be his father.Slide17
1 Chronicles 29:1-3,6Slide18

And David the king said to all the assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is young
andSlide19
inexperienced
, and the work is great, for the palace will not be for man but for the Lord God. Slide20

So
I have provided for the house of my God, so far as I was able, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for
theSlide21
things
of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, Slide22
besides
great quantities of onyx and stones for setting, antimony, colored stones, all sorts of precious stones and marble.Slide23

Moreover
, in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, Slide25
and
because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God: Slide26

Then
the leaders of fathers' houses made their freewill offerings, as did also the leaders of the tribes,
theSlide27
commanders
of thousands and of hundreds, and the officers over the king's work.Slide28
God doesn’t want our
money
; God wants our
heart
.

Chronicles 29:9,10-14Slide29

Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a whole heart they had offered freely to the Lord. Slide30
David
the king also rejoiced greatly.Slide31
10
Therefore David blessed the
Lord
in
the presence of all the assembly. And David said: “Blessed are you, O
Lord
, Slide32
the
God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
11
Yours, O
Lord
, is the greatness and the power and the glory and
the victory andSlide33
the
majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O
Lord
,
and you are exalted
asSlide34
head above all.
12
Both
riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and
inSlide35
your
hand it is to make great and to give strength to all
.
13
And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.Slide36
14
“But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? Slide37
For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.”Slide38
Everything we have comes from
God
and
belongs
to God.
1 Chronicles 29:16Slide39
16
O
L
ord
our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you
a
house for your holy name comes
fromSlide40
your
hand and is all your own.Slide41
Generosity is a
privilege
and a
blessing
.
1 Chronicles 29:14Slide42
14
“But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? Slide43
For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.”Slide44
TRUTH
God’s the
owner
; we’re the
stewards
.Slide45
How can I maximize today
what
God has entrusted to me
for
His glory?
