Topic: Stewardship

Notes:
- Principles of stewardship from the parables of Jesus Christ
-- God places people in areas of responsibility
-- God expects us to be responsible for what he entrusts to us
-- God gives us freedom to control what he entrusts to us
-- God is especially aware of how we treat other people
-- Do not use our position as a steward for our own benefit
-- One day we will be held accountable for our stewardship
