Diocese of Bristol | Generous Stewardship Derek Chedzey & Ian Tomkins Giving to a need or needing to give? The Purpose for Christian Giving…

Diocese of Bristol | Generous Stewardship Derek Chedzey & Ian Tomkins Christians don’t just give to a need, we need to give. Why? Because our giving is the overflow of God’s gift to us in Jesus: ‘... you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich’ (2 Cor. 8:9).

Diocese of Bristol | Generous Stewardship Derek Chedzey & Ian Tomkins The question is NOT: ‘how much I should give?’ The question IS: How much of me, my life in Christ and all that God has entrusted to me is reflected in my giving?

Diocese of Bristol | Generous Stewardship Derek Chedzey & Ian Tomkins Generous giving is born of Grace an obedient, grateful response to God's gift in creation and in Christ, and to the commands of Scripture.

Diocese of Bristol | Generous Stewardship Derek Chedzey & Ian Tomkins So… Generous Giving is a regular feature of the rhythms of Christian life Yours Lord is the greatness, the power, the glory, the splendour and the majesty; for everything in heaven and earth is yours. All thing come from you and of your own do we give you.

Diocese of Bristol | Generous Stewardship Derek Chedzey & Ian Tomkins Others are transformed by the unconditional act of love for one another and for the world. FRUIT

Diocese of Bristol | Generous Stewardship Derek Chedzey & Ian Tomkins The challenge to church leaders To give generously is to be caught up in the overflow of God’s grace, for when we give, we reflect the nature of God himself. For church leaders the goal of stewardship is not simply to obtain the gift, but to nurture the giver.
