Legacy stewardship plays a critical role in present and future ministry by planning ahead for the stewarding of the Gospel, while always being careful to honor Christ’s legacy, not humans’.

Despite the sometimes discouraging responses to teaching stewardship, pastors, steward leaders and stewards alike are all called back to our original task of stewarding the Gospel for the sake of our neighbor’s soul.

To effectively lead others to be faithful stewards, pastors and steward leaders must first repent themselves.

Steward leader: Do not be afraid to be repetitive. Parents, teachers, and even God Himself repeat things so that we may learn.

Stewardship is not about big. Stewardship is not about small. Stewardship is about faithfulness.

Congregations that wish to cultivate faithful stewardship need to commit to the regular discipline of teaching and preaching stewardship.

As stewards, we are entrusted with the Gospel, which belongs to Jesus Christ.

Stewardship is never easy. It is a daily and weekly call to repentance.

Continually teaching and preaching about Gospel stewardship year after year transforms stewardship culture.

Our stewardship goes far beyond the offering plate.

God’s Word leads people to be faithful with what they have been given to show that the treasure of the Gospel is at work in and through them.

Successful stewardship is faithful stewardship. It is not about amount but about identity.
