    The key takeaways are that stewardship involves carefully and responsibly managing resources that God has entrusted to us. We are all stewards and need to properly manage the things God has given us like time, talents, money, children, our bodies, truth, teams, natural resources and waste.

    The different areas where we need to apply good stewardship are time, talents, treasures/money/children, temples (our bodies, home, work, community), truth, teams, timber and trash.

    The principles of biblical stewardship are to give back what belongs to God, give yourself to God, give after Jesus' example, give proportionately, give to equalize, give with a cheerful heart, give as God enables us, give according to the law of sowing and reaping, give because of spiritual returns, and give to glorify God.
