StewardshipMessage
Stewards of Life Abundant: Transformative Generosity
You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God. – 2
Corinthians 9:11
As Biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann points out, the Bible starts out with a liturgy of abundance – a song of
praise for God’s generosity. It keeps saying, “It is good, it is good, it is good, it is very good.” Filled with God’s
generosity, Jesus went around to people suffering from scarcity – of health, of acceptance, of power, of
understanding – and replaced it with a gift of abundance. Jesus is well-schooled in the transformative generosity
of God and in the conviction that if you share your bread with the neighbor, the world will be made new. He
knows that generosity isn’t something you just think about, it’s something you do.
Stewardship presumes blessing and abundance. Jesus sums up the purpose of his ministry this way: that we
“may have life, and have it abundantly.” Our job is discernment of the ways in which all of us, including the
church, already have “far more than all we can ask or imagine.” Then the real work of stewardship becomes
embracing generosity in the spirit of Jesus as a way of life. How is this way of life transformative for you?
A message from Stewards in the Household of God: a Resource for Holistic Year-round Stewardship available
from United Church of Christ Resources.
God is still speaking,
This resource is a free service and is made possible by your gifts to Our Church's Wider Mission.
