Описание: If you're looking for a comprehensive and challenging study on Christian Stewardship you will find that here. Be prepared for some challenging questions but more importantly, be prepared for this study to change your life. Jesus said we will serve one of two masters: God or Money. It is our prayer that this study will, -Challenge you to be honest about which master you're serving -Help you discover what it means to follow Jesus and what He expects from His followers -Help you understand how your financial stewardship is a part of God's Master plan -Challenge you to evaluate the mission effort of your local church, and -Ensure that your church (no matter its size or location) really matters Coming to understand that stewardship is an adventure that involves risk, we'll end this study by looking at both how to develop risk takers in our families and churches and at the incredible blessings promised to those who are faithful (and risky) stewards.

Описание: With all of the books written on stewardship and all of the workshops offered; why do churches continue to struggle with questions and issues of financial giving? The answer is in the church's leadership. A revolution of generosity will only occur as pastors, financial chairs and stewardship chairs live and give witness to the importance of generosity in their personal lives and then intentionally recruit and train others to join the revolution. Leading a revolution in generosity is not about simply using the right program or reading the right book or preaching the right sermon; a revolution of generosity is about embracing, living and leading others on a journey of gratitude, prayer and faith. Generosity Rising instructs pastors on whom to recruit and how to recruit them, offering practical guidelines for training a dedicated team of "generosity revolutionaries." This book also provides daily devotionals for leaders to inspire, motivate and encourage their personal journey of gratitude, prayer and faith.
On Sunday mornings all over the world, people get dressed to go to church. Some of them dress up, some dress down, and others come as they are. Their choice of dress is their own personal preferences, as God does not have a dress code for His worshippers. He only requires that we worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Dressed for Church on Sunday Morning shares the biblical truth that God is more interested in what's in the heart of people rather than their outward appearances-which to others can be deceiving. Author Zadia B. Tyson reminds us that in the life of a Christian, it is our discipleship, our worship, our fellowship, and our stewardship that reveal who we are in Christ Jesus. It is through these disciplines that we show our obedience to God when we are able to love him first with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, and love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
God did not make provisions and save His people just for them to become members of a church; but to become disciples of Jesus Christ. When we acknowledge our call, He equips us to do the work of kingdom building. This is where our discipleship, our worship, our fellowship, and our stewardship define us as Christians. As Christians, we have been guaranteed that we will spend eternal life with God our Father, where we will be in His presence worshiping and praising Him forever.
Much has changed in the 21st-century world of stewardship. Now a person may use electronic funds transfer or use a credit card after clicking on a website link instead of dropping a check in the offering plate. Stewardship witness videos can be linked to the church's website. One-Minute Stewardship is designed to promote the development of a meaningful theology of giving in a new age. These short reflections, indexed by Scripture, theme, event, and lectionary, can be included in weekly parish e-mails, newsletters, weekly bulletins, or read as an invitation to the offering during worship. The book addresses the issue of designated giving, which is usually separate from general stewardship appeals and is designed to empower clergy and lay leaders to promote the message of good stewardship every Sunday of the year.

Other personal finance teaching resources tell you why you should be a good money manager. Although powerful, they do not invest as much time walking you through a step-by-step guide on how to do it. This book does. It will take you through that step-by-step process covering exactly how to rid yourself of burdensome consumer debt. Perhaps the two most beneficial exercises unique to this book are the budget analysis and the rapid debt reduction strategies. You will also be shown how to get on the road to a future with an overall healthier financial picture you create.
