Stewardship means “belonging to God" - all that we are and all that we have comes from God. We are grateful to God for it all, and responsible to God for how we use it. There is a connection between stewardship and spirituality: generous giving as a spiritual discipline helps us to grow in Christ.
Duty and delight are both motivating factors for giving - doing what we ought to do as responsible church members, and making cheerful sacrifices out of love for God.
The overarching theme of this course is, “This is good news!" The biblical message of financial stewardship is:
• promising and encouraging;
• not (usually) guilt-inducing;
• a way of life;
• for many of us, it just may be the way to a better life.
This course features seven 20-minute video sessions, and a comprehensive study guide and participant handouts.
