Give: Living the Steward’s Lifestyle
As believers, we all have different gifts. Some of us have the gift of serving, some of giving treasure, some of encouraging, and some of leading. Although we all have different gifts, God wants us to use them to work toward the same goal—that of building the Church of Christ through works of service to Him. No one gift is more important than another. Our work for Christ continues until God’s goal is reached, that of uniting all people “in faith and in knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13).
The Holy Spirit works through God’s Word and Sacrament. We are then enabled to use our gifts and talents to bless others and to build His Church here on earth.
At Redeemer Lutheran Church, there are many ways to give and to serve God:
Praying
It’s good for each of us to begin and end each day with devotion and prayer. Redeemer has a Prayer Chain that works to bring before God our joys and sadness, our requests for healing, and our praises and thanksgivings.
Worshipping
It is the duty of each Christian to worship our Heavenly Father with words and songs of praise each day. On Sunday, we gather together in special services as followers of Christ to hear His word, sing His praises, offer prayers, and receive His blessings through the Lord’s Supper. We also have opportunities to grow in faith through a rich variety of Bible studies throughout the week.
Witnessing
We are all selected to be the mouth, feet, and hands of the Holy Spirit. Through Him, we seek to bring others to a saving faith in God. The Apostle Paul calls us to be “Ambassadors for Christ” and present His appeal to the nations. Redeemer offers a variety of opportunities to share the Gospel of Jesus with our neighbors and those in need throughout our community and world. It is through the relationships we build with family, friends, and those with whom we have contact that we bring Christ to others.
Serving
We believe in living out The Kingdom of God through acts of love and kindness. We must be out with the people of the world showing the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. People are more willing to receive the Good News when they see it lived out in the lives of God’s people. We have groups of members that participate in Lutheran Hour Ministries, Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, Warrington Emergency Aid Center, Curry House, Operation Christmas Child, Thrivent Community Outreach, Relay for Life, and the support of active missionaries in Africa. Visit our Ministries page to learn more ways to serve.
Giving
Redeemer Lutheran Church exists to help God’s people grow in faith and build relationships for eternity. Philippians 4:19 says, “My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” One of God’s gifts to people is the heart for giving. The financial support of those who are part of Redeemer Lutheran Church allows us to serve our community. We are grateful to our congregation and friends whose donations fully and entirely support the church and all its ministries. Redeemer Lutheran Church is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
