Lesson: Stewards

Last Sunday we looked at the judgment seat of Christ. We brushed the basics of what it is and we started to look at what the worthy materials and the worthless materials are. This Sunday we are going to dig a little deeper into the subject. We stopped at verse 15 and this week we will finish through chapter 4 verse 2.

Paul brushes these subjects in this passage. Can you identify them in the passage?
-Their prejudice
-Their self deception
-Who God sees through
-What is expected of us
-what do our possessions have to do with it
-what should our position be
-what is required of us as stewards
