The Generosity Practice - Session 03: All We Have Belongs to God
This session is from the Generosity Practice made by Practising the Way.
Key Scripture: Luke 12:42-46
In the opening pages of scripture, humans are presented as guests in God’s abundant world and as stewards of all God provides. We continue in that role today, entrusted with God’s resources for our own good and for the good of others. Through this session, explore what it looks like to be a steward and how to cultivate wise stewardship in everyday life.
