Book Synopsis Stewards of the Mysteries of God by : Eric Smith
Download or read book Stewards of the Mysteries of God written by Eric Smith and published by . This book was released on 2020-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many preachers have taught on stewardship in reference to our money and our time, but both money and time are temporary commodities of this earthly life. Jesus used the parables about stewardship in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke to teach about the Kingdom of God. Parables are used to liken something people could understand to something that they may not have understood in any other teaching. Likewise, when Jesus taught about the sower and the seed, He did not intend for believers to become better farmers or gardeners. Since believers do not use the parable of the sower and the seed to learn about gardening, why is it that they use the parables of the talents and the pounds to teach that stewardship is referring to actual money or time? As Paul was writing to the Church of Corinth, he told them, "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1). There is something of much more value than both money and time that God has placed into the hands of the church to take care of until He returns! This book was written so the believer can discover what God expects in us as His STEWARDS of the Mysteries of God!

In this encouraging and challenging book, you will learn that stewardship includes how you manage all that God has given you—your time, your talents, and your treasures—to advance God’s kingdom and bring Him glory. While many stewardship books focus on managing financial resources, Tony Evans says that your finances are one small part of a much bigger calling. He teaches that God owns all things, and you are the manager of His assets. When you bring your entire life into alignment under God, you will be blessed with purpose and the abundant life that comes from living by God’s eternal principles.

Book Synopsis Stewards of Eden by : Sandra L. Richter
Download or read book Stewards of Eden written by Sandra L. Richter and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award Biblical Foundations Book Award Winner Sandra L. Richter cares about the Bible. She also cares about creation. An expert in ancient Israelite society and economy as well as biblical theology, she walks readers through passages familiar and not-so-familiar, showing how significant environmental theology is to the Bible's witness. She then calls Christians to apply that message to today's environmental concerns. Richter is a master Bible scholar. Each chapter draws out a biblical mandate about humanity's responsibility to care for the land, domestic and wild creatures, and people on the margins. She is also a master storyteller. Well informed on present-day environmental challenges, Richter includes case studies that connect the biblical mandates to current issues. Though modern political alliances may tempt readers to sever Christian faith from environmental stewardship, in this concise and accessible book, Richter urges us to be driven by God's values instead.
Book Synopsis Afire with God by : Betsy Schwartzentraub
Download or read book Afire with God written by Betsy Schwartzentraub and published by Discipleship Resources. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stewardship is a dirty word in most churches. Pastors preach about it knowing they must while members sit uncomfortably through the "it's-that-time-again" sermons and other appeals. Afire with God urges ministries and congregations to become stewards-in-action of all God has entrusted to us. Members go beyond thinking in terms of dollars contributed to see stewardship as becoming living examples of the gospel. "Real stewardship is radical, which means going to the roots of our faith," writes Schwarzentraub. "If we take stewardship seriously--and joyfully--it won't be just another addition to the same old programs we've been doing in our congregations. It will change our thinking, acting, and imagining. And it will change our vision of ministry, working from the inside out." The book's four chapters are simple and elegant. Chapter 1 addresses our mixed feelings about stewardship and uses the biblical image of the Hebrews as aliens in Egypt. Chapter 2 uses the experience of Moses at the burning bush as a way to explore foundations of stewardship in the Bible. Chapter 3 connects stewardship with the mysteries of faith and with John Wesley's understanding of the means of grace, exploring Wesley's life as a steward. Chapter 4 looks at practical approaches for becoming stewards-in-action. Included are examples for faithful stewardship of the earth, ways to reinvigorate stewardship in worship, long-range planning ideas and plans for individual ministry growth. Schwarzentraub will lead you to a spirited stewardship that embraces every dimension of life and alters your ideas about the topic: converting the noun steward into a verb! Transform who you are becoming and what you can do in the world. Lead in Stewardship Leader's Guide is also available.

Sproul offers much-needed biblical answers to these questions, and in so doing, he provides clarity as to how being good stewards of our money honors God.

Download or read book Accountable to God written by Mike Whitmore and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isn't stewardship really just about money? Absolutely not! According to Mike Whitmore, author of Accountable to God: Biblical Stewardship, stewardship is a concept that can be found throughout the Bible, and it involves a variety of diverse subjects: worshipping, interacting with creation, using gifts from God, maintaining our bodies, sharing the Gospel, and our relationships with enemies, strangers, and others. Understanding these and other subjects is critical for Christians for two important reasons. First, the Bible teaches that all people will one day be held accountable for their stewardship. Second, our stewardship responsibilities give us a chance to demonstrate our love and reverence for God. This book takes a distinctive look at a seemingly familiar concept. Does your thinking on stewardship match up with what the Bible says?

Based on a sound theological framework, Senkbeil and Woodford present a set of practical tools for church leadership and strategy.

Book Synopsis The Treasure Principle, Revised and Updated by : Randy Alcorn
Download or read book The Treasure Principle, Revised and Updated written by Randy Alcorn and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis
