TEXT:- 1 Corinthians 4:2:

A Steward is:-
Someone who is entrusted with managing, taking care of, or overseeing something that belongs to someone else.
This can include resources, responsibilities, or duties, and a steward is expected to handle them with care, accountability, and integrity.
Stewardship is a biblical principle emphasizing our responsibility to manage what God has entrusted to us.
