Bible Passages on Stewardship

 

The scriptures of the Old and New Testaments provide us with stories, parables, and principles of good stewardship. These passages give us help in understanding who we are and what God expects of us. As always, the Bible must be interpreted with the helps that the church has developed: concordances, commentaries, dictionaries, and accepted teaching.

 

Use these references to learn and help others know the meaning of Christian stewardship and giving:
