Offerings
Unit: Stewardship
Category: Working with Jesus
How we choose to manage our resources and finances
as Christians is a personal topic. As we discuss this topic,
please understand a very simple rule. No participant
is obligated at any time to reveal any personal details
about their finances, income, or giving patterns. We
are accountable to God for our choices in managing our
money. This presentation is about the “why’s” of giving
more than the “what’s.” We will take a close look at offerings. Separate from tithe, offerings provide ministries with
resources to accomplish their mission. There are a variety
of choices in supporting these ministries at every level.
We will review methods and plans for giving to support
the church and then encourage you to choose a giving plan that fits your preferences.
We begin by defining a key word: What is Stewardship? The Seventh-day Adventist Church Stewardship Department website provides this definition: “Stewardship is the life-
style of one who has a living relationship with Jesus Christ, accepts His lordship and walks in partnership with God, and acts as His agent to manage His affairs on earth.”
