Topic: God’s Ownership
Theme / Sermon Idea (in one sentence): God’s Ownership
______________________________________________________________________________
Title: God owns it all.

Introduction:
When it comes to money and material possessions, too many of us, if we are completely honest,
are owned by the things that we own. Like slaves serving an unrelenting master, we spend our
lifetimes making money so we can buy stuff that grows old or breaks down and needs repair.
And then we have to make more money to replace or repair all that stuff. But let me give you
four simple, single-syllable words that will give you freedom—real financial freedom. These
words aren’t original with me, and quite frankly, they don’t sound all that profound, but I’ve
never come across four words in all my studies that can better free us from financial bondage.
Here they are: God owns it all.

Church leaders responsible for preaching may want to help their congregations to think biblically
about coronavirus, its potential threats, and the promises God makes to us in the midst of those
threats.

Illustration or Application:
“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod

and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4).

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present

nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be

able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38–39).

Segment 4:
Lesson:

Proof:
______________________________________________________________________________
Illustration or Application:

When the LORD sent his plague to Israel, he protected the people that took preventative

measures: “Pick out a lamb or a young goat for your families, and kill the Passover animal. Take

the branch of a hyssop plant, dip it in the blood which is in a bowl, and put some of the blood on

the top and sides of the doorframes of your houses. No one may leave the house until morning.

The Lord will go throughout Egypt to kill the Egyptians. When he sees the blood on the top and

sides of the doorframe, he will pass over that doorway, and he will not let the destroyer come

into your home to kill you” (Exodus 12:21–23).

In other words, the Lord protected those who took preventative measures. This isn’t a promise

that those who wash their hands won’t get coronavirus. But it shows that even in catastrophic

circumstances, God honors preventative action.
