If you are a pastor, teaching about money and stewardship can be awkward since some Christians view the subject as little more than a strategy for boosting contributions on Sunday morning. But as these five lessons make clear, Christian stewardship is about more than the money we drop into the collection plate.

Stewardship extends to our talents, to the environment, to church and family, to our fellow man, and yes, to the money in our bank accounts. Stewardship, as the saying goes, is everything we do after we say we believe.
