This project seeks to develop an expository preaching series on financial stewardship at Living Water Church in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. Chapter 1 presents the history and ministry context of Living Water Church and the goals of this project. Chapter 2 provides exegesis of the following passages: (Matthew 23, 1 Corinthians 16, 2 Corinthians 8-9, Ephesians 4, Proverbs 3:1-10, 1 Samuel 2, Malachi, Nehemiah 10-13, Numbers 18:26 and 1 Corinthians 9:14 along with Exodus 36 and 2 Corinthians 9:6, and Matthew) to show that biblical financial stewardship honors God, enhances the word of God, and brings blessing to believers. Chapter 3 presents examples of preachers throughout church history who taught biblical financial stewardship. Chapter 4 describes the project itself, recounting the content and teaching methodology of the specific messages. Chapter 5 evaluates the efficacy of the project based on completion of the specified goals. Ultimately, this project seeks to faithfully lead the people of LWC to a God honoring life of biblical financial stewardship.
