Faithful Stewardship for a Faithful Future

Nov 1, 2026  •  Pastor Robert Ziehmer

What does it mean to enjoy a blessing that someone else sacrificed to create? That question sits at the heart of this powerful message drawn from Proverbs 28, where we are reminded that a faithful person will abound with blessings. The insight here is striking: faithfulness often bears fruit long after the faithful person is gone. We are sitting under the shade of trees we did not plant, drinking from wells we did not dig. The people who prayed, gave, built, and sacrificed before us never met us, yet their faithfulness is still shaping our lives today. This message challenges us to move beyond simply enjoying what we have inherited and to ask a harder, more personal question: what has God entrusted to us that we are not yet stewarding to his glory? Whether it is our time, our gifts, our encouragement, or our resources, stewardship is not just about money. It is about managing everything God has placed in our hands, knowing that one day we will give an account for all of it.
