The Essentials for Stewardship Homeruns • Relationships • Christ – We cannot do it without HIM! • Each Other – I need YOU and you need ME! • The World – Fulfilling the Great Commission! • It’s not about programs, it’s about people • “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” Malachi 3:10
Meeting with Financial Leaders • Pray • Legacy, Key, Core • Invite them to be Investors in the Vision! • Anticipate Key Questions • Make the Ask • Pray
You can EXPECT tough times - look at them simply as an opportunity to be faithful… …It’ll change your life and the lives of all those around you! …while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, …Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice… being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. From Philippians 1:6-8
