November 16, 2025 Welcome to Trinity!
Basic Theme: In“ Abundant Living,” we explore stewardship as the pathway to true fulfillment, contrasting a poverty mindset of scarcity, fear, and hoarding with the abundance Jesus promises in John 10:9-11— life to the full through Him as the gate and good shepherd. Every blessing from God benefits us but is entrusted for others’ good. This series challenges Christians to embrace generosity, especially financial sacrifice to the local church, as the foundation for abundant living and effective stewardship of God’ s gifts.
Sermon Snapshot( Key Points): In John 10:9-11, Jesus offers pasture and full life as the good shepherd, countering the destroyer’ s poverty of isolation. Linked with Luke 6:38—“ give, and it will be given to you”— this message highlights how blessings from God, while enriching us, are tools for others. Generosity to the church shifts us from scarcity to abundant community.
So What? How might your current giving reflect a poverty mindset rather than faith in God’ s endless supply? In what specific ways can you redirect a personal blessing this week to benefit someone else? Is hoarding God’ s blessings robbing both you and others of experiencing Christ’ s full life?

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 11“ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
