Stewardship: For the Care of Souls (Lexham Ministry Guides)

Stewardship for the care of souls

Stewardship isn't just managing resourcesÑit's soul care.

Stewardship of time, talents, and treasure isn't just about sustaining the material of the church. It's about guiding those resources in service of the church's primary mission: proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Stewarding the lambs of Christ that make up your congregation encompasses all aspects of their livesÑmaterial and spiritual.

Nathan Meador and Heath R. Curtis present a practical theology of stewardship focused on ministry in service of the gospel. Guiding pastors away from the pitfalls of idolatry around money, they instead call stewards to embrace their identity in Christ and encourage their congregations to do the same. This fresh approach to stewardship reorients both individuals and congregations toward their true purpose as stewards who have been baptized into Christ.

Stewardship will help pastors to teach and preach stewardship as a call to repentance and new life.
