The Joy of Generosity: Earthkeepers & Caretakers - Genesis 1:26-31
Speaker: Ken Boonstra
We are responsibly in charge of God’s creation. We are stewards, careful to nurture, guard, and grow what God has entrusted to our care.
The Joy of Generosity: God’s Estate - 1 Chronicles 29:10-20
Speaker: Ken Boonstra
God is the owner of all things. God controls the whole universe. What does that mean for our stewardship? We begin a series that explores various aspects of Christian stewardship and God’s call to generous living.
Each year hundreds of delegates from all over North America descend on some locale to deliberate the life of the Christian Reformed Church. This gathering is called Synod. This year Synod happens in Grand Rapids, Michigan on June 9 - 15. It is a gathering that helps each church or region of the Christian Reformed Church stay in touch with each other. Sometimes, the business seems boring - I especially find talk of money to be boring. Sometimes the business is interesting - I like the discussions about important issues: for example, children at the Lord’s Supper or third-wave pentecostalism. And always, the most interesting parts of Synod are the coffee breaks and lunch breaks and dinner breaks. Delegates get the chance to meet who’s who from around North America. You can meet old, old friends and make brand new friends. And most importantly, you can discover the love of Christ that flows through the heart and soul of every delegate at Synod.
So pray for the work of Synod this week. Pray that Christ’s love will be evident. Pray that God’s will is done. Pray that even if delegates don’t see eye-to-eye, that they will see the love of Christ in every heart.
