From the Garden of Eden on, the Bible reveals our role and our purpose. We are stewards. Everything we have comes from God, and He entrusts the things He has made and given to our care.
True Christian stewardship, therefore, is about far more than just giving to the church. It is a wise and godly management of every gift of God for His purposes. Giving is just one part of that. But it is rightly the first part, for the biblical standard is that we offer to God our first and our best.
It is time for the friends and members of First Church to complete our commitment cards for 2025. On the surface, of course, these cards are about our giving. Yet, in the big picture, we recognize that they are just one part of our larger stewardship.
