In the September 2018 issue of StewardCAST, LCMS Stewardship shares insight into why some congregations and individuals are “surprised by stewardship” every year.
Stewardship planning is one of those things that often gets lost in the weeds after summer.
It is also possible for congregations to be surprised by stewardship because they avoid the topic all together. Thus, when the resources to support the ministry are not present, panic ensues.
However, the faithful teaching and preaching of all of God’s Holy Word, including stewardship, will not allow for this surprise.
