Stewardship Soundbite: Luke 20:38 “Now he is not God of the dead, but of the
living, for all live to him.” We are people of the Resurrection. We know our future. And
this knowledge colors all our actions in this world. Since we know we are destined to
live in God’s kingdom forever, what kind of lives ought we to live? Where should our
priorities be?
