Sitting in the Right Chair

The sermon "Sitting in the Right Chair," challenges the "ownership mentality" by asserting that God owns everything—including our time, bodies, talents, and finances. Using the imagery of a steward who manages a kingdom for a king, the sermon explains that stewardship is not just about money, but about an all-of-life commitment to managing God's resources for His purposes. It emphasizes that when we surrender control and stop trying to sit on the "throne" of our own lives, God is able to execute plans far greater than our own. Practically, this looks like consulting God on financial decisions, living below one's means to create margin, and being faithful with whatever resources one has in the present moment. Ultimately, the message is a call to humility and accountability, urging the congregation to handle their daily resources in a way that reflects their character as followers of Christ.
