Guiding Foundations

Building on a firm foundation is crucial. Whether you’re building a house or building financial strength, a solid foundation is the key. In Matthew 7:24, Jesus tells us that, “…everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” A firm foundation can withstand many storms, and your stewardship journey is no different. You are bound to have some challenges along the way, but with a solid foundation built on biblical principles, you can have confidence and joy along the way.

Understanding biblical principles on stewardship and generosity is integral to our growth as faithful followers of Jesus.

Scripture teaches in Psalm 24 that God owns everything, and everything includes, well… everything. Not just all our stuff but our very lives: our personalities, gifts, and finances. This means that every single moment of our existence is an act of stewardship. Every decision we make, however significant or insignificant, involves things that belong to God.

So how do we steward everything entrusted to us in a way that honors God?

The practical wisdom provided here should help you answer just that. We hope these resources will bless your stewardship efforts significantly, expanding your ability to give generously.

We’re called to be generous stewards, but stewardship and generosity can look different depending on where you’re at in life. You’ll notice there are four sections you can check out here:

    A.B. Simpson

  • “I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.”

    C.S. Lewis

  • “…give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
