Summary

Being good stewards of the families God has entrusted to us requires a humble understanding that God is the ultimate owner and we are caring for people who belong to Him. When we view our spouses and children with a proper eternal perspective, it is clear that they deserve our utmost effort in caring for them. By examining four different kinds of stewardship, we see both the benefit to biblical stewardship and the problems that arise when we are not keeping an eternal perspective in these relationships.

Geared toward parents and spouses, this workshop will ask, "what happens when we apply the proper eternal perspective to parenting and marriage?" We will examine some of the common problems that come from misunderstanding biblical stewardship, as well as some practical ideas for keeping an eternal perspective in these key relationships.
