Not My Own: Week #2 -Stewarding Our Skills (Clay Harrington)

October 4, 2026 / Clay Harrington

Most people hear the word "stewardship" and immediately think: money. Church finances. Tithing. Maybe they flinch a little. But biblical stewardship is so much bigger than that. It covers everything God has entrusted to us — our bodies, our time, our relationships, our finances, and this week: our skills, talents, and abilities.

Not My Own is a series about what it means to live as a steward rather than an owner. The earth is the Lord's and everything in it (Psalm 24:1). That includes the gifts He put in you.

In Week 2, Clay Harrington takes us to Matthew 25:14-30 — the Parable of the Talents — one of Jesus’ most direct teachings on what God expects us to do with what He’s given us.

Not My Own: Week #1 - Not My Own Body (Matt Massey)

What if the way you treat your body changed completely when you realized it doesn't actually belong to you?

This week we launch a brand new series called Not My Own — an invitation to encounter Jesus fully by giving yourself fully to Him, and to live in the freedom that comes when God is the owner of everything.

Stewardship is one of the most misunderstood words in the church. Most people hear it and think: money. But biblical stewardship covers everything God has entrusted to us — our bodies, our time, our skills, our relationships, our finances. Everything is from God, for God, for us to use for His glory.

Week 1 starts with the most personal: the body you're living in right now.

Not My Own: Week #3 - Not My Money (Matt Massey)

For most of us, money is our biggest elephant. Apart from Jesus, it’s probably the number one thing we put our hope in. And when we put our hope in it, it will ultimately kill us.

But money isn’t the problem. Money is neutral. It’s a gift and a tool from God, given for us to use for His good and His glory. The problem is our hearts.

Not My Own is a series about what it means to live as a steward rather than an owner. The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it (Psalm 24:1). That includes our bodies, our skills, our time, and our money.

In Week 3, Matt takes us to Luke 12 and Matthew 6. Jesus talked about money more than almost any other subject. He didn’t do that because money is bad. He did it because we will either love Jesus first and use money for His glory, or love money first and let it use us.
