Let's look at three steps to being a great leader with respect to our finances.

Knowledge you can get on your own, but understanding you can only get from God. Simply knowing what Bible says is not enough to successfully navigate through life. The devil knows the Bib ...

We had just begun to pass the food around the table at Thanksgiving dinner last year when a friend of the family said, 'The reason our church's giving is good is because our pastor never preaches about money.' I responded as casually as I could, 'So youre saying that your churchs giving is good because your pastor never preaches any of the countless biblical passages about money?'
Good illustrations are vital for maximum impact in preaching on stewardship. The following quotes should prove helpful to you as you preach your church into faithful giving.
Tithing
"I never would have been able to tithe the first million dollars I ever made if I had not tithed my first salary, which was $1.50 per week." - John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (1839-1937), American industrialist and philanthropist
Most pastors admit that they are hesitant to preach on money. I understand their reluctance because I once shared it. However, I learned that my fears were not validnothing terrible happened because of my stewardship sermons. In fact, the results were just the opposite of what I expected.
Here are some reasons why I honestly love to preach on money:
