first putting GOD first in living and giving Mike Slaughter In first, pastor and author Mike Slaughter guides participants through a four-week all-church stewardship program to help them reassess priorities and create a culture and a lifestyle of giving with a special emphasis on missions.

The comprehensive Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide your group through the study: session plans and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options and suggestions of ways to make the study meaningful. The DVD Leader Guide features Mike Slaughter as he guides us through the program.

A new indirect approach
Committed to Christ Six Steps to a Generous Life Bob Crossman
DVD-based
A stewardship program that presents giving as a lifelong journey in Christian discipleship. After an introductory Sunday stressing the importance of commitment to Christ, the next six weeks are spent exploring six steps to a generous life:
6 weeks
• Prayer • Bible Reading • Worship • Witness • Financial Giving • Service With each step, participants are asked to assess prayerfully their own level of commitment and to consider increasing that commitment by one step. Equal emphasis is placed on each of the six steps, clearly communicating that this program is not simply about money, but rather cultivating a thankful heart that will lead us to giving more than we can ever imagine. Program resources include everything a leader needs to organize and run a small group or Sunday school class in support of the program, including discussion questions, activities, and flexible session lengths and formats. The pocket book, Six Steps to Generous Life is priced for gift giving for every adult member in your church. Abingdon Press. 9781426743511 9781426743528 9781426743535 9781426743559 9781426754883
