Proverbs 19
As we continue to look at our influence in this world, it is important to remember and think about these things. These proverbs have many different ways to look at them. As I have categorized them, we are only looking at one category they fit into.
Prov. 19:10 ¶ Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

Prov. 20:11 ¶ Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
We are known by our actions…
Integrity is a very important characteristic that every christian should work on in their life. It is obtained by allowing God to have control of our life. We are born liars, manipulators, who try to get our way…

Proverbs 22:2
Introduction
A warning is an alarm that sounds for a particular reason. If the fire alarm were to sound in the building, you would get up, and make your way outside quickly. It is an alarm. Sometimes we become conditioned to ignore the alarm going off! Many times in homes, the smoke alarm sounds, and it is often just something that has burned in the kitchen, and we grow used to just ignoring the alarm. You are faithful and I appreciate your faithfulness, I don’t want us, me or you to become use to hearing the alarm, and just dismissing it.

Proverbs 3:9-10
Introduction
People have a tendency to ‘write off’ the OT, thinking it doesn’t apply to us today. That would be a great error!
Romans 15:4 “^4\ ^For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”
1 Corinthians 10:11 “^11\ ^Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”

Joshua 9:3-16
Deut 20:16-18
Introduction
I have been preaching a mini series on stewardship. Part of stewardship is making wise decisions. This passage is not a passage about finances, but it is an important passage about making life changing decisions! We are not talking about what color shirt to wear, or what to eat for lunch, we are talking about serious life changing decisions. Where you work, where you live.

Matthew 25:14-19, 30
Introduction
I want to deal with the verse 30 right at the onset, so we are not pondering how this is going to end up. This is a parable, that I full hearted believe is for our time right now.
First this is a parable about stewardship or servant-ship, not salvation, or sonship. Let’s revisit a very important verse that is foundational to the doctrine of salvation:

Luke 12:13-21
Introduction
I want to continue our series on Stewardship tonight. The Bible has a lot to say about stewardship. I would remind us that we last week, we mentioned this verse:
1Cor. 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
The Bible talks a lot about our finances, our responsibility as stewards of God’s things. We also considered last week, that we have been bought with a price, God owns us!

Luke 16:1-4
Introduction
I wanted to start a series on stewardship. What is stewardship? What is expected of a steward.
Many times Jesus clarifies when he is telling a parable. This is not specified as a parable. It could have been a real life account that the Lord used as an illustration. Often real life stories make great illustrations.
This account is also unique to the Gospel of Luke. It doesn’t show up in any of the other Gospels. This doesn’t make it less Bible. It is simply the only account we have to draw information from.

Matt 6:21
Matt. 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
1Pet. 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
