Humility is one of the most underrated virtues. It is underrated in our understanding of its benefits. It is also underrated in our understanding of its significance. Humility is central to Christlikeness. If Jesus wasn’t humble, He would have never gone to the cross. There are things in this life that we would never do without humility. What is God calling you to do but you are resisting primaril...

It's quite extraordinary when you think that Jesus went through suffering and struggles. Why would he when he is the son of God, the Messiah? Theologically, we may understand why it is that in order to bear the sins of man, Jesus had to be a man himself and so the cross was necessary, but why couldn't the rest of his life be good? Perhaps it was so that we could be encouraged in our trials and str...

Make the Basics Beautiful

Heritage Day gives us an opportunity to celebrate where we come from. But it also gives us an opportunity to ask a deeper question: What parts of our heritage should we preserve, what parts should we reject, and what parts can Christ redeem? Culture can be described as the shared values, beliefs, norms, customs and practices through which a group of people interprets life.

Every single day, we run into different people and go through ordinary situations. Most of these moments come and go without us thinking twice. But every now and then, you have an encounter that changes everything. You walk in as one person, and you walk out completely different. In John chapter 4, a Samaritan woman goes to a local well around noon to do an ordinary chore: fetch water. She brings...

Wait, I say, on the Lord!

God is the God of hope, and He entrusts hope to us so that we can carry it, protect it and impart it to others. Hope is not merely something God wants you to have. Hope is something He wants you to steward. There are people whose hope will increase because they encountered you. And there are people whose hope can diminish because they encountered you. The question is:What are you doing with the ho...

Part 2 of the message entitled Stewarding God's Word by Ps Paul Nyamuda.

God's Word is an entrustment. The question is not merely, “What has God said?” but “What have I done with what God has said?” God's Word does not merely communicate; God's Word accomplishes. At creation: Genesis 1:3 “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” And: Isaiah 55:10–11“…so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I d...

Stewardship Changes How We See People. Ultimately, biblical marketplace ethics is not simply a list of rules. It flows from a different understanding of ownership. If everything belongs to God, then the people whose paths intersect with mine ultimately belong to Him too. I therefore cannot exploit people God has called me to serve. I cannot dishonour people made in His image. I cannot use authorit...

I can say with a very real conviction that I think I'm one of the richest people I know, if not the richest. I don't mean this in terms of money, but in terms of the things that truly matter - I am astoundingly rich. Things that money cannot buy, God has lavished upon me in ways I am humbled by. A beautiful, faithful, intelligent, loving, deeply God-honouring wife; two precious, wonderful little m...

One of the greatest leadership shifts is understanding that a leader is a steward. This mindset changes how you lead. You understand that you are called to serve the people who belong to God not you. This changes how you go about leadership in all aspects of life. How do I steward my spouse? I have to give an account of how I served my spouse who belongs to God. It’s the same in all areas of leade...

A question that seems to intrigue a number of people is this: What happens when a steward fails? On another occasion we will discuss rewards; when a steward does well, but for now let’s focus on failure. Does God address the failure or pass the entrustment on? Today we will unpack this. God may do any one of the following eight things:

Biblical stewardship is faithfully managing everything God has entrusted to us so that His purpose, not merely our potential, is fulfilled. Over the past three weeks in our Entrusted series, we have discovered that stewardship is much bigger than money. We have seen that God owns everything, that we are called to steward our time wisely, and that true stewardship flows from recognising that nothin...

Over the past few weeks in our Entrusted series, we've discovered that nothing we have truly belongs to us—it all belongs to God. We are not owners; we are stewards. We have already seen that we are called to steward our resources and then our time. Today we move to something far more personal and, perhaps, more easily overlooked: our peace. Many people think of peace as something that simply happ...

The secret to greatness is hidden in your daily routine. When you have a revelation that God loves you and that you belong to Him, it changes everything. It’s the starting point of relinquishment from ownership to stewardship. You realise that He looks after that which is His, so you worry less and in the process save a lot of time. This is simply because worrying is one of the biggest time waster...

Throughout history, there have been many remarkable leaders who have shaped nations, organisations, churches, and generations. We think of men and women such as Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham, and John Maxwell. Each is remembered for something unique—courage, vision, compassion, influence, resilience, or the ability to inspire others. We are grateful for the lessons...

The big idea of this series is that everything belongs to God. Stewardship is faithfully managing and multiplying what He entrusts to us for His purposes, His glory and the good of others. We will explore what stewardship is. Then we will examine how to form the stewardship mindset; how stewards think. In this series we will also spend time applying stewardship to all aspects of life. Parenting, l...

I think one of the great questions of the Christian life is this: How do we remain anchored in joy when life hurts? How do we remain anchored in joy when prayers seem unanswered? How do we remain anchored in joy when circumstances don't make sense? How do we remain anchored in joy when suffering enters our story? Because if we are honest, most of us find it relatively easy to trust God when life i...

God as mighty warrior is one of the communicable attributes of God. He becomes the mighty warrior within us.

The Power of Brokenness | Vimbai Chariga

Jesus was an absolutely masterful storyteller. His use of parables to convey meaning is, to my mind, completely unmatched. I have never heard of a person living or dead who is able to take simple stories and bring about such deep revelation and provoke such reflection as Jesus Christ. Is that surprising though, this is God after all! He is the very author of creation. The story that we will spotli...
