Don’t Forget these Ongoing Resources to Help You Faithfully Train Up Generous Stewards
Biblical Principles of Wisdom
THE BEST STEWARDSHIP principles about money and finances are found directly in God’s Word. IMAGINE what would happen if churches take the lead in teaching what the Bible says about money and how to use it?
Offer a pathway for foundational education on what the scriptures really teach about money management, tithing, generosity and legacy.
These resources will give you the verses and concepts to sharpen focus and get everyone onboard with stewardship education.

Family, Legacy, Generosity | A Small Group Study
A small group discussion-led video study
This Bible-centered study is intentionally short, direct, non-technical, and conversational, designed to introduce God’s timeless principles for Financial Stewardship, and to encourage individuals and families to pursue a lifelong journey as wise and generous stewards.
You will find free companion videos to introduce each week’s chapter on Christian Foundation of America’s YouTube channel. The videos are an option for small group leaders to play each week if they prefer. The book is entirely self-contained, so the videos are optional!
