Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten with an encouraging message on "Faithful Stewards of God" based on a biblical passage in First Thessalonians 2:1-6. The church was nurtured through the faithful pastoring of the Apostle Paul. Galatians 1:1-2 tells us that Paul did not make up his gospel. Every time you have victory, opposition is right around the corner. Acts 5:29 the question is asked, whom shall we follow? Man or God? We should follow the Word of the Living God. Genesis 39:1-6 shows us that Joseph faithfully looked after his master's possessions. Every believer must be faithful in teaching the babes His Word. A steward should be faithful all the time, especially at this time. We must produce dividends to Gods glory. Galatians 1P6-9 reveals that we must share the gospel. Tell somebody about the death and resurrection of our Messiah. 1 Corinthians 4:1-12. 
       What does faithfulness mean? It is obedience to His ministry. Ephesians 6:10 says to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. We need boldness! You will have people turn on you but stand strong anyway. If you live for faith, let your light show. Matthew 5:16; Acts 4:13. Paul boldly proclaimed the good news. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Philippians 3:13; 2 Timothy 4:7; Philippians 1:30 pictures the Christian life as an athletic contest requiring diligence and energy. God has not changed, man has changed. Man needs to turn to God, not away from God. Six times in one chapter Paul mentions the gospel, 1 Corinthians 15. Also see Galatians 1:6-12; Philippians 1:14-19. What are your motives? 2 Thessalonians 3:8-10. The gospel is a Divine message centered in God's glory. Acts 24:16; Psalm 36:2; 78:6; Mark 7:6.
