Stewardship… …In his letters, the Apostle Paul wrote about his passion for serving Jesus. Paul knew that all he was, had, and did was by God's grace. "For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him Who died for them and was raised again" (2 Corinthians 5:14-15). Overwhelmed by Christ's sacrifice for us, we, like Paul, are to serve Jesus wholeheartedly.
