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.
