Sunday`s Message Recap from pastor Dan`s Sermon
Faithful Stewards of God’s Grace
1 Peter 4:10
This Sunday’s message reminded us that every believer has received a gift from God, and those gifts were never meant to be hidden, wasted, or used only for ourselves. According to 1 Peter 4:10, we are called to use whatever gift we have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God’s grace.
As we celebrated Stewardess Day, we paused to honor those who faithfully serve the church with dedication, care, commitment, and love. Stewardesses often serve quietly. They may not always receive public recognition or fanfare, but their work is deeply felt in the house of God. They help make sure things are in order, people are cared for, and the church remains a place of welcome, compassion, and grace.
The message reminded us that faithful stewards first serve with a willing heart. Stewardship is more than completing a task. It is giving of ourselves. It is not only what we do, but how we do it. Colossians 3:23 teaches us to work with all our heart, as working for the Lord. God is not just looking for service done out of obligation, but service done with joy, love, and a willing spirit.
We were also reminded through the story of Martha in Luke 10:38-42 that service matters, but worship matters too. Martha served diligently, showing hospitality and care, but Jesus reminded her to find balance. The work of the church is important, but we must never become so busy working for God that we forget to spend time with God.
Faithful stewards also use their gifts to glorify God. Romans 12:6 tells us that we all have different gifts according to the grace given to us. Everyone may not serve in the same way, but every gift matters. Some serve through organization. Some through hospitality. Some through compassion, leadership, generosity, encouragement, wisdom, or prayer. The goal of stewardship is not to be recognized, but to be useful in God’s hands.
The message reminded us that stewardesses do more than prepare the communion table. They also serve the tables of care, concern, compassion, and community. They notice when someone is hurting. They know when someone needs a word, a prayer, a visit, or encouragement. Their ministry reaches beyond what is seen on Sunday morning.
Finally, we were reminded that faithful stewards will be rewarded. Matthew 25:21 says, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Sometimes we look for earthly rewards, but God sees every act of service. He knows every sacrifice, every quiet assignment, every unseen labor, and every faithful heart.
The story of Tabitha, also called Dorcas, in Acts 9:36-42 showed us the impact of a life spent doing good. Her service touched so many lives that when she died, the community mourned deeply. Her life was a testimony of love, generosity, and faithful stewardship.
The message closed with a powerful reminder: we do not always have to be seen, but we should always be felt. God has given each of us something to offer. The question is not whether our gift is big or small, public or private. The question is whether we are using it faithfully for the glory of God.
May we learn from the example of the stewardesses and become better servants, better stewards, and better witnesses of God’s grace.
One day, we all want to hear the words:
“Well done, thy good and faithful servant.”
Amen.
