Because of God’s Great Mercy: A Stewardship Program for DMLC
In church this week, we showed a video featuring our Worship & Music Ministry Team. The members of the team shared their feelings about what makes Dr. Martin Luther Church special to them and how they find themselves fit into the bigger picture.
Over the next few weeks, we are going to consider God’s great mercy and our response to that mercy through our financial support of Dr. Martin Luther Church.
God’s mercy comes to you in our Lord, Jesus Christ. God’s mercy also comes to you in many other ways. Among these are the material possessions you enjoy. They come from our loving God, but more than this, they are entrusted to you by God. The Bible teaches us that all that we have in this life comes from God. Our time, our talents, and our money and possessions all come from God, and in a very real sense still belong to God. In this life, we are stewards, caretakers, and managers of God’s incredible bounty.
Through Jesus, we are God’s own people. God has entrusted all that we have into our care. This good news is the beginning of our understanding that we are stewards. It is also the starting point of your thinking about your giving. When you give to Dr. Martin Luther Church, you are giving some of what God has entrusted into your care to accomplish God’s work in the world.
See you in church!!
