Lesson 15 — Stewardship: Our Bodies, Abilities, and Time
What does it mean to be a faithful steward? Stewardship is about more than money. It includes how we use our time, care for our bodies, develop our abilities, and carry out the responsibilities entrusted to us. This lesson explores how gratitude for God’s grace can shape the way we live and serve.
Lesson Overview
The lesson presents stewardship as cooperation with God in response to what He has done for us through Jesus Christ. Rather than treating our time and abilities as things to use only for ourselves, we are encouraged to recognise our responsibilities and serve faithfully. Everyday work provides an illustration of how appreciation, care, and responsibility can influence the way we fulfil our duties.
