Stewardship: noun; the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care.

Stewardship is the theme of the texts that make up this week’s reading in the Uncommon Truth for Common People project. Following is the schedule we’ll use in our reading this week.

The verse of Scripture to memorize and make your own this week is Psalm 90:12, which reads:

Teach us to number our days so we can have a wise heart. (Psalm 90:12 CEB)

got ‘em memorized?

 

Church, I’m curious as to how you’re coming along with our memory work for the month of January. There are four full weeks this month and our four memory verses from the Common English Bible have been:

  • “You must be doers of the word and not only hearers who mislead themselves.” (James 1:22 CEB)
  • “But Jesus would withdraw to deserted places for prayer.” (Luke 5:16 CEB)
  • “You are the body of Christ and parts of each other.” (1 Corinthians 12:27 CEB)
  • “Don’t hesitate to be enthusiastic—be on fire in the Spirit as you serve the Lord!” (Romans 12:11 CEB)

You still have a few days left in the month to commit these words to heart. It’s not hard to do so just go for it! Walk up to me and quote one of them. You’ll make my day!

Serving is the overarching theme of the Scripture texts in this week’s readings in the Uncommon Truth for Common People project. Here is the schedule for this week’s reading.

The sentence of Scripture to memorize and live out is this straightforward from one who lived it, the apostle Paul:

Don’t hesitate to be enthusiastic—be on fire in the Spirit as you serve the Lord! (Rom. 12:11 CEB)
