• Some reflection questions:

   

  1. What resources, talents, and abilities has God given me? Do I use them in service to others? How might I take the next step to become a more effective steward?

      

  2. What qualities in the life of Jesus provide a model for living and an example of good stewardship? How might they compare to my own life and lived experience?

      

  3. If I am to work to be an effective Christian steward, with the help of God's grace, what will it cost me in terms of personal sacrifice and hardship? Am I willing to take the next step?

      

  4. How am I reaching out to invite others to recognize their gifts? What opportunities do I provide for them to employ those gifts for the good of the community?
