Hope at Home: The Holy Spirit is the Artist | Exodus 31:1-11

The importance of beauty and artistry are often devalued. Yet, God and His creation are glorious. So, when the Lord directed the construction of the Tabernacle, He filled His artists with the Holy Spirit so that the Tabernacle would reflect His glory and the heavenly reality it was intended to reveal. May the Holy Spirit awaken and empower His artists today to create anew for the good of humanity’s soul and the glory of God.

A Disciple Faithfully Stewards God’s Blessings (Genesis 1:1, 26-28)

When we buy a book, car or home we consider it “ours.” We have the receipt, title and/or bill of sale to prove that the product, building and land is ours. When we are given an unexpected day off, that day is “ours.” Yet, a careful reading of the Bible reveals that we, who are students of Jesus and lovers of God, are not ultimately owners but stewards. “Stewardship” is the management of the property or resources belonging to another in order to achieve the owner’s objectives. In this message we discover that God, the Owner of everything, is clear to reveal both his objectives, through his written word, and to give us a perfect example of stewardship, through his Son, his living word. This is great news for all who long to hear him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
