In the beginning, God had a plan—a plan to create what did not already exist and fill it with his glory. Central to the divine enterprise were people created to look and act like God. They were to be managers of his property, administrators of his purposes, and inheritors of his portion. As such, their lives would only be fruitful and fulfilling when ordered rightly.
But in its first generation, all of mankind’s relationships became wrecked. Friends became enemies. Work became toil. Order was displaced by disorder and paradise was lost.
God’s Economy is a sermon series on biblical stewardship that explores how life works best according to God’s design. It endeavors to recast a vision of life as rightly related to God, creation, and other people, and illuminates how a rightly ordered heart views time, talents, and treasures from an eternal perspective.
God’s purposes have not been arrested nor suspended. He is still sovereign; he is still in control; he still has purposes toward which his providence is directed. What remains is whether we will be willing participants with him by bringing all of life into submission under his gracious rule and acknowledging that we are not our own but belong to Christ, who gave himself up for us.

Biblical stewardship teaches us that whether it is what God entrusts to us, or withholds from us, in all things he desires that we might come to know him, enjoy him, and entrust all of our lives to him. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: God’s Economy Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31

The design of God for humanity—the very purpose of our existence and how we share, enjoy, and multiply his goodness in the world—can be found in the command to love God with all that we are. This is the aim of his grace through Christ in the Spirit: To reorder…

God has created us for right relationships: with himself and with others. He has designed our hearts to be restless until they find their rest in him. Therefore, we must use every resource and opportunity we have in this life to bring us into a fellowship that will last forever.…

The church, as the embodiment of God’s life and work in the world, is to be both enjoyed and shared. Each member has a part to play in joining God in his worldwide redemptive movement. Will we faithfully do that which God himself has assigned us to do? Speaker: Sean…
Israel and Judah had been enjoying a time of peace and prosperity they had not known since the time of Solomon. What appeared to be God’s approval and blessing, however, concealed a dark truth about the way things really were, a truth that would soon be revealed by the invading Assyrian empire.
You see, the people of God were lost in darkness, having forsaken God and debased themselves with unworthy lovers in the form of other gods. A people once defined by an exclusive love relationship with the one true God had become a people marked by idolatry, unfaithfulness, and oppression. This road of apostasy had led them to their own destruction.
Who would save them from their oppressors? Who would rescue them, not just from exile to foreign lands but from the wickedness of their adulterous hearts? The word of God as spoken through the prophet Isaiah revealed the answer: It would be none other than God himself who would be their salvation.
Isaiah’s prophetic word is applicable to the situations of people in every time and place. His message of a Light to illuminate the way for those who walk in darkness always results in joy for any who look to the mighty hand of the One able to save. Like exiles sensing the looming shadow of death; like captives awaiting deliverance; like runaways and rebels longing for reconciliation, we yearn for that Light to appear. With him comes the salvation we most desperately need, but could never expect—the salvation that comes When God Arrives.

The prophet Isaiah, living in a time of darkness, could look ahead and know with certainty that God’s light again would shine. Now on this side of history, all who find themselves today in darkness can see the light of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Speaker: Sean Scribner…

In the midst of darkness—whether self-inflicted or imposed—the people of God reach for a song. Not in naive denial, as if our pain and troubles weren’t real, but as an act of defiance. We choose to rejoice in the face of hardship and suffering because no matter how hard life…
