We Celebrate Our Ministry Together
The ministry of Trinity Lutheran
continues to astound us. We have
experienced the awesome blessings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our
worship life continues to see more and more people each Sunday, our prayer
and study groups have expanded, and members and friends alike have taken on
the call to become disciples of Jesus Christ!
Some Thoughts On Stewardship
I was asked by our Stewardship Chairman to share my thoughts and feelings on stewardship.
After racking my brain on how to put these thoughts into words I realized that my study Bible does this for me. Deuteronomy 14:22, 23. The Bible makes the purpose of tithing very clear— to put God first in our lives. We are to give God the first and best of what we earn. For example, what we do first with our money shows what we value most. Giving the first part of our paycheck to God immediately focuses our attention on him. It also reminds us that all we have belongs to him. A habit of regular tithing can keep God at the top of our priority list and give us a proper perspective on everything else we have.
Yours in Christ,
