Other Adult Faith Formation Resources

“Brothers and sisters, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” - 1 Corinthians 10:31)

Do a quick check of your priorities. Where does God rank in that list? If He’s not first, you have some work to do. Putting God first in everything helps us from putting other “gods” (like our pride, ego, money and possessions) before God. Before making a decision, ask yourself, “Am I doing this for the glory of God or for the glory of me?”
 
As Jesus’s disciples, we are called to be Stewards of the many blessings, talents, gifts, and resources which the Lord has given to each us.  As baptized members of Christ’s Church, we are called to actively participate in the mission of the Church to bring the reign of God’s love, peace, joy, freedom, justice, mercy, forgiveness, compassion, healing, and salvation to our time and place, and especially to the poor and those in need.

In its simplest terms, Stewardship asks us to put God's priorities before our own. Good Stewards give the first portion of their gifts of time, talent, and material resources to the Lord's work in gratitude for the many blessings bestowed on us. This practice of giving of our "first fruits" incorporates the aspect of sacrificial giving.  God does not judge us by how much we give, but by how faithful we are in making the gift. Stewardship is a lifelong commitment to our Lord.
