And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.
2 Corinthians 9:8
Faith in Action, Legacy in Motion
I was recently asked to go to my kids’ Christian school and speak on how important the Church is. What a blessing! I was with about 60 First graders and was engaging with them on the Gospel and the church. Now most of you know that I stress about situations like that. I am not just wanting to tell them something but to help them learn something through whatever means I can. So what I did was give several of them a Lego. I called them up front and had them take their Lego piece and gave them instructions on what to do. In the end I had them build a Cross. I reminded them that we all have been given something by God. Yet we need to know what to do with it. When we follow God’s instructions at church and through His word we are able to see that God wants us to come together to show off Jesus!
Where did I get that from you ask? Number one from the Bible. 1 Peter 2:4-10 describes how each of us is a “brick” in God’s holy building and that we are now to “proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
Do you know where else I got that from? From watching and being a part of Wallburg Baptist Church. Watching and experiencing your love for the Word, the Gospel, Jesus and one another is a blessing on my life. Seeing you come together to worship and depart to serve is truly a reflection of the Gospel we proclaim.
And now, as we are stepping into this new season of our ministry together, I see Jesus even more through you. I see your preferential treatment of others over yourselves. I see your service and sacrifices for the cause of Christ. I see your diligence in loving and being tolerant toward one another. I see your gracious outreach to people in order to see them saved. I could catalog so many more virtues I see as well.
But the sum of what I see is that you are a church who loves Jesus and has been changed and challenged by grace. It is that grace that is causing you to think, pray, give and move in even deeper ways.
Recently I gave you a list of 8 motivations for biblical stewardship. Let me remind you of them.
Stewardship is a matter of loving obedience.
Stewardship brings God praise.
Stewardship is a tangible reality of my gratitude.
Stewardship tells every other part of my life that God comes first.
Stewardship creates gaps in my life that only God can fill.
Stewardship combats greed and materialism in my life.
Stewardship makes my job a kingdom endeavor.
Stewardship prepares me for further usefulness in the Kingdom.
And now as we look ahead to acting in faith and obedience together, allow me to focus in on one of the most beautiful promises in scripture for our stewardship. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.
2 Corinthians 9:8
This promise is so clear, beautiful, faith-igniting and overarching that I can’t do much more than just read it and point you to it. When our hearts are in line with His, God has all ability, God gives everything we need, and God gives us what we need to make ministry happen. Why does God make this kind of promise? Just see the list above! God never calls us to something that He does not give grace for!
This is why we say we love Jesus!
With much love,
Pastor Brandon
