It's about guiding those resources in service of the church's primary mission: proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Stewarding the lambs of Christ that make up your congregation encompasses all aspects of their lives--material and spiritual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNathan Meador and Heath R. Curtis present a practical theology of stewardship focused on ministry in service of the gospel.

This fresh approach to stewardship reorients both individuals and congregations toward their true purpose as stewards who have been baptized into Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eStewardship\u003c\/em\u003e will help pastors to teach and preach stewardship as a call to repentance and new life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathan Meador \u003c\/b\u003eis senior pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Plymouth, Wisconsin, and assistant coordinator for stewardship for the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeath R.
