Matthew 22:34-40; “Stewardship Prime”

This passage is about aligning ourselves up to what is important, our relationship to God, our relationship to others and to self and our purpose for His Glory.

What does the “Parable of the Talents” teach us about Stewardship?

Do not misjudge yourself; rather, seek Him and let your confidence be in whom you are in Him, not in how others respond to you! Allow yourself to be used!
