Revelation of Christ Baptist Church

We own nothing.  It all belongs to God.  The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell within (Psalm 24:1).  Thus, stewardship involves the responsibility of managing God’s work through the church.  God has appointed all Christians to be His stewards on earth.  Stewardship is not an option, as the Apostle Paul points out about his own call.  Being a steward, a good steward is a necessary part of believing the Gospels of Christ, even if it involves sacrificing personal rewards (1 Corinthians 9:17).  As the parable of the talents (Matthews 25:14-30) shows, Christians will be held accountable in the way in which they manage God’s affairs as stewards.  These matters include extending the church’s ministry through the preaching of the Gospel of Christ (Colossians 1:24-28), supporting the church financially (Acts 4:32-37), and ministering to the sick and needy (Matthew 25:31-46).
