Stewardship Thought Hebrews 5:1-10: This passage of Scripture
reminds us Christian stewards that we are at the very same time saints
and sinners. As such we thank God for declaring us saved through
Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit we are equipped to better
manage all of life and life's resources for God's purposes.
In Sunday School today: The Sunday School lesson today focused on
"Jesus and Zacchaeus." Like Zacchaeus, we are among the lost
whom the Son of Man seeks and forgives. We are called to forgive
those who sin against us, no matter how Zacchaeus-like they may be
in their sins. Parents might ask, "How does Jesus seek you? How has
God forgiven you?"
