Stewardship

What is Christian Stewardship? Christian stewardship is recognizing that everything I have ultimately belongs to God (James 1:17). Thus, I am responsible to use it all in ways that please and honor Him. This includes the need to: 1) Give to God’s work (1 Cor. 16:2) 2) Spend on family needs (1 Tim. 5:8) 3) Save for future needs (Prov. 21:20)
