  Celebrate God's Good Gifts:
Bible Studies for Stewardship Education

(by Rev. Eugenia Gamble)
PDS #70370-94-014; $2.50 each


Bible study is an important and essential part of growing in Christian discipleship. Stewardship is part of being a disciple and living faithfully, using responsibly all the good gifts God has given to us. Celebrate God's Good Gifts brings together the study of the Bible and the discipline of stewardship.

  Celebrate God's Good Gifts  
     
 

In 12 sessions, using texts from both the Old and New Testaments, the Rev. Eugenia Gamble helps us explore the nature of God who gives us life and all we have. She leads us to examine the relationships we have with God and with one another and to see them in terms of stewardship. All of who we are and what we have are gifts from God for which we are called to be good stewards.

Often we think of stewardship only in terms of our money; at least, it is usually for our financial giving that we have an intentional commitment campaign. Some of us may expand our practices of commitment to the giving of time and talents, yet we can grow even further when we begin to include every aspect of our living and being. Eugenia Gamble helps us to do that by raising issues of attitude, self-knowledge, conflict, compassion, and vision. We are called to be stewards of all these things.

This Bible study can be used in a variety of ways: Sunday morning youth and/or adult church school classes, church leadership or other youth and adult retreats; other small group study such as the women's circle, men's breakfast study, or youth group. The material can also be adapted for use as devotions for session or committee meetings. Although you may find this Bible study especially helpful during the financial stewardship season, it can be used at any time to emphasize the significance of whole-life, year-round stewardship.
