Stewardship
 

Here is an example of our Stewardship devotions. 

Salvation
“Oh give thanks unto the Lord for He is good, for His mercy endures forever”  These words begin many Psalms.  They point out our reason for giving thanks.  These days we are given many reasons for thanksgiving, and we should give thanks for all gifts.  But the one, overwhelming reason for giving thanks is found in the mercy of God, as shown us in Christ.  As we begin devotions on stewardship, we must begin with this in mind.  When we ask ourselves what we have to be thankful for, we begin at the cross where we see the blood of Jesus shed for the forgiveness of our sins.  We then go immediately to the empty tomb to see Christ risen, that we may have the assurance of eternal life.  If this is not reason to thank God, then there is none.  When we see the cross and empty tomb we understand the words “Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us, that we may be called the sons of God.” (1 John 3:1)  Our response to God in using His gifts and giving to the work of his kingdom is centered in what Christ has done for us by His death and resurrection.  He is our reason for giving.  Our Savior is not only our hope and joy, He is our sole motivation for using God’s gifts.  We begin our consideration of how to use God’s gifts by considering His everlasting mercy.
