One Minute Stewardship Sermons

This collection of inspirational messages reflects on the many aspects of stewardship that congregations—both large and small—experience throughout the year. Designed for use at the offertory each Sunday, they may also be incorporated into the sermon or printed in the bulletin. This resource provides scores of different ways for clergy and leaders to connect the mission and vision of the local church with the stewardship of its members’ time, abilities, and financial resources. Includes input from a dozen contributors representing several denominations and congregations of all sizes.

All that we are and all that we have, we are to return to God in thanksgiving, and it
is to be “placed on the altar”—the altar of God's love and God's self-giving and
God's creation and re-creation. This total offering of “our souls and bodies” is
placed on the altar of Thanksgiving. God accepts it; God takes it; God blesses it;
God gives it back to us— healed, restored, forgiven, and strengthened for God's
service. HOW TO CONSTRUCT ONE MINUTE STEWARDSHIP SERMONS O86)
