    For the follower of Jesus, stewardship is the managing of the property of our Lord and Savior. This goes far beyond “stuff” and applies to our very lives – for the Scripture says that we were “bought with a price” (1 Cor 6:20;7:23). This message looks

    We live in a time where a lot of the western church is caught up in the hyper grace movement that condones sin and sells salvation wrapped up in sensuality and stickers of liberty. But God wants true freedom in his house and a hungering after righteousness again.
