Christ the King Sunday — John 18:33-37
Stewardship Moment from Pastor William
Stewardship in the Gospel
Jesus says God’s kingdom is not from this world. In other words – the way things are right now, is not the way things are done in God’s kingdom. Hate speak, racial bias, social class feuding, alienation of refugees, criticism of others – none of that is God’s kingdom come.
Stewardship in our community
God’s kingdom is a place where love is spoken, anti-racism is the norm, unifying actions are predominant, countries are helped to provide a place from which refugees do not need to flee, and encouraging uplifting speech is free flowing.
Stewardship in practice
God invites you to be part of God’s kingdom; remove the evil of your doings, cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow (Isaiah 1:16-17.) Accepting and living out that invitation is being a good steward.
