STEWARDSHIP IS OFFERING BACK TO GOD FROM THE GIFTS HE HAS GIVEN US
• "…We thank you, our God, and praise your glorious Name …for all things come from you and we have only given back what is yours already." (I Chronicles 29:13-14)
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT STEWARDSHIP?
Give without show - "Let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing." (Matt.6:3).
Give with regularity in proportion - "Upon the first day of the week let everyone of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him." (I Cor. 16:2)
Give liberally - "He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." (II Cor. 9:6)
Give cheerfully - "Let everyone give as his heart tells him, neither grudgingly, nor under compulsion, for God loves the man that gives cheerfully." (II Cor. 9:7)
What is and What is not Stewardship!
Eucharistic Giving: "We offer Unto You from Your Own Gifts!"
