From the Desk of Our Executive Director

When was the last time you preached a series on stewardship? That is the question we are asking in this edition of the Stewardship Journal. Studies show that preachers seldom preach on stewardship, much less a series. Yet we will show you in this edition the benefits of preaching a series on giving and giving you practical advice on how. We start the discussion with our lead post, The Biggest Roadblock to Increasing Generosity,” You might be surprised at the biggest roadblock.

Mark Brooks, The Stewardship Coach, continues the Journal’s emphasis on preaching on stewardship with his column How to Preach Effectively on Giving. Mark is going to begin his post taking time to make the case for why you should preach regularly on giving. I believe you will find this post challenging as well as helpful.

Mark’s Bonus Section picks up on the preaching theme with a post entitled Making the Case for the Forgotten Sermon. You’ll find great advice and a useful source for planning your next stewardship series.

We are taking next week off for the 4^th of July! We will be back on July 10^th!
