“Whole Life Stewardship”
Whole Life Stewardship: Is a way of life for God’s people as we manage all of our blessings to God’s glory. That is, not just what we do with the 10%, but how we handle the other 90% of our time, talents, treasures, temple and God's truth.
- Time: This portion of the presentation will explore God's perspective of our time as well as the motivation for using our time to "work while it is day."
- Talents: The church is a volunteer run organization and each person in the body of Christ has been gifted to contribute to the work of the church uniquely. Part of this presentation will involve ideas for congregations to get people motivated to serve, how to ask volunteers and how to retain them!
- Treasures: Luther said, "Money must be the least of all God's gifts because he even gives it to fools." In other words, the devil gets us to value money in a far greater way than God would have us do. God has much to say about handling this "least of all gifts" to give him the most glory!
- Truth: We probably don't look at this as one of God's gifts he has given us to manage, but it could be argued that there is no greater gift he gives to us. We'll look at the importance of a devotional life as well as addressing the obstacles to it.
- Temple: You only get one body here on earth until Jesus returns to give us our new glorified bodies. What does God have to say about managing our "temples of the Holy Spirit?"
