Stewardship Ministry

+ Do we need to change our congregation’s “stewardship culture?” 

+ What does that mean?  You know about culture, like the Greek culture,
the youth culture, the drug culture – well, every congregation also has
its “stewardship culture!”  What is our culture?  Do we need change?

+ “The stewardship culture of a congregation involves the unique customs,
values, and artifacts of the people who make up the congregation.”

+ The life of the Christian is the life of being a steward.  Christians are
stewards, just like being witnesses, whether we want to be or not!

+ Stewards are Christians who recognize the Lord Jesus not only as their Savior,
but also as the God Who made them and continues to bless them with life.

+ Either we are stewards who please our Lord or displease Him!

+ As God’s stewards, therefore, we Christians desire to live lives which bring
praise and honor to our God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

we need to change?
