Effective Stewardship Curriculum

This video requires the Flash video plugin

Synopsis

If you are a pastor, teaching about money and stewardship can be awkward since some Christians view the subject as little more than a strategy for boosting contributions on Sunday morning. But as these five lessons make clear, Christian stewardship is about more than the money we drop into the collection plate.

Stewardship extends to our talents, to the environment, to church and family, to our fellow man, and yes, to the money in our bank accounts. Stewardship, as the saying goes, is everything we do after we say we believe.

The Birth of Freedom

This video requires the Flash video plugin

Synopsis

The American founders said that all men are created equal and are endowed with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They called this a self evident truth. 87 years later, Abraham Lincoln reaffirmed this idea on the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg. And in 1963 these same words echoed from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial as Martin Luther King, Jr. urged America to fulfill the promise of its founding.

But humans are separated by enormous differences in talent and circumstance. Why would anyone believe that all men are created equal? That all should be free? That all deserve a voice in choosing their leaders? Why would any nation consider this a self-evident truth?

For the millions around the world who have never tasted liberty the question cries for an answer.

The Call of the Entrepreneur

This video requires the Flash video plugin

Synopsis

A merchant banker. A failing dairy farmer. A refugee from Communist China. One risked his savings. One risked his farm. One risked his life.

Why do their stories matter? Because how we view entrepreneurs, as greedy or altruistic, as virtuous or vicious, shapes the destinies of individuals and nations.
