Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Ideas / Spirituality Relationships / Community Impact / Change
  2. Ephesians 2:4-10 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ * —by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— 9 not the result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.
  3. Stewardship in the Church Begins and Ends with God’s Loving Kindness and Our Response. If we focus on this, then we will see God working in the midst of all that we do. We will see how Stewardship is an opportunity to respond to God in gratitude and with generosity.
