Stewardship and Generous Living

Overview

A steward is essentially a manager. The term stewardship is used to refer to the responsibility God has given His people to manage all the resources He gives. This material will focus on financial stewardship, though the principles of stewardship apply to more than just your management of money.

In this Journey Section you will:

• Learn about contentment as the foundational principle of stewardship
• Think about your motives for giving and investing eternally
• Discuss God’s promised provision and your faith that he will provide for your needs
