Faithful Stewardship: Guiding Principles of a Godly Life

This series explores what it means to be a steward in God’s household—managing faithfully the gifts, responsibilities, and opportunities entrusted to us. Far more than an abstract principle, stewardship touches every corner of life: our personal choices, our families, our ecclesias, our workplaces, and our interactions with the world. These lessons show how a godly perspective on stewardship can shape our character, priorities, and daily walk.

Personal Stewardship

The opening class lays the foundation by showing that everything we have—our life, time, abilities, and possessions—are gifts from God. We are called to treat them as resources on loan, to be used wisely in His service and with full accountability.

Stewardship in the Family

This lesson turns to the home, reminding us that our spouses and children are entrusted to our care by God. We are stewards of these most intimate relationships, responsible for nurturing, guiding, and supporting one another in faith and godliness.

Stewardship in the Ecclesia

Here the focus shifts to the household of faith. Every member of the ecclesia has a role to play, and the health of the body depends on each one fulfilling their stewardship. We are reminded that our service is not optional but part of God’s design for His family.

Stewardship at Work

In our daily labor, stewardship means diligence, honesty, and integrity. This class challenges us to see our work not as separate from our discipleship but as part of it, offering our efforts as service to God and a witness to others.

Stewardship Among Unbelievers

As we live in a world often indifferent or opposed to God’s ways, stewardship requires us to be salt and light. Our conduct, speech, and choices may be the only glimpse of godliness that others see, making faithfulness in these moments especially vital.

Being About the Father’s Business at All Times

The series concludes with a call to live every moment in alignment with God’s purpose. Just as Jesus declared that he must be about his Father’s business, so we are urged to let this perspective guide all we do, recognizing that our lives belong to Him.
