Through mutual encouragement and support, the congregation is strengthened and united to better serve the people around us. As people respond to God’s grace, they discover even more gifts they can use in the Lord’s service. They also see that God is blessing them more than they ever before realized.
By the Rev. Dr. William O. Avery
The whole subject of stewardship is limited to the needs of the giver, not the needs of the receiver. The truth is that it really is better to give than to receive — better for the giver’s own spiritual development. This is biblical. This is the gospel of good giving. Pastors should not become a pleader of needs – endorse the proclaimed financial goals of the church, but do not plead!
