Not Yours Week 5

This sermon concludes a series on stewardship by focusing on stewarding our personal stories. Pastor Sam shares a powerful testimony of how one man's obedience to help a homeless couple led to a chain reaction of blessing - the couple received a job, apartment, and car through multiple people stewarding their resources. The message emphasizes that everyone has a unique story written by God, and we are called to be stewards of that story to help others. Using Psalm 107, Pastor Sam explains that we are redeemed from captivity to sin through Christ's ransom, and those who are redeemed should tell their story. The chapter outlines four types of people: wanderers who've drifted from God, prisoners of their own poor choices, fools who knowingly rebel against God's word, and those facing storms despite their obedience. Pastor Sam vulnerably shares parts of his own story to demonstrate how stewarding our stories - both victories and struggles - can bring hope and encouragement to others facing similar circumstances.
