Level 2 - Generosity

Giving Abundantly

April 20, 2024

Welcome to SLAM Online!

The starting point of stewardship is Obedience, but it doesn’t stop there. We must never be satisfied with where we are. We must make a conscious choice to “Level Up” and become even more effective in our stewardship. The next level after Obedience is Generosity. The natural tendency for people is selfishness. We are constantly taught to “look out for #1” and always be sure to ask, “What’s in it for me?” But, just because that’s the way the world lives doesn’t mean that’s the way God wants us to live.

In this lesson, the children will learn through the story of Moses building the Sanctuary. They will learn how to to move from living a life of greed to living a life of generosity. It is a much better way to live.

Level 3 - Sacrifice

April 27, 2024 • Pastor Gary Tomlinson

Welcome to SLAM Online! Stewardship begins with Obedience, continues with Generosity, and ultimately leads to Sacrifice. Sacrifice is not something many people are really familiar with. Sacrifice does not ask, “What is required of me?” like Obedience does. It doesn’t ask, “How much can I give?” like Generosity does. Sacrifice asks, “How much can I give up?” In other words, “How much can I do without in order to meet the needs of others.” In this lesson, the children will learn through the story of the widow’s sacrifice. They will learn how to to move up to the level of Sacrifice - giving up what we need so others can have what they need. Jesus was the prime example of Sacrifice. Our goal is to have the same attitude as Jesus - one that puts ME last and the Kingdom of God FIRST!

Level 1 - Obedience

April 13, 2024 • Pastor Tyler Loy

Welcome to SLAM Online! Stewardship in the Kingdom of God is all about how we view and use the time, talent, and resources God has blessed us with. Learning to “Level Up” is all about growing in this area. In this lesson, the children will learn about the very first level - Obedience. Obedience in our money and possessions starts with the tithe - giving 10% of our income to build the Kingdom of God. It is the starting point, not the ending point. Through the story of Cain & Abel, the children will see how important it is to give God the “first fruits” of our income and labor. No matter how much or how little they make, the important thing is to be Obedient. It’s not about giving a big amount, it is all about being OBEDIENT and giving the first 10% - the tithe - to God.

What Is Stewardship?

April 6, 2024 • Pastor Tyler Loy

Welcome to SLAM Online! “Stewardship” is a word we often hear in church, but it is rarely defined. Kids have no concept of what a “steward” is because this term is rarely used in our society anymore. In this lesson, your kids will begin to understand what stewardship is all about and how it applies to our lives. They will learn through the Parable of the Talents how God has entrusted each of us with time, money, and talent. How we use these assets determines how good of a steward we really are. Throughout this series, the children will be challenged to move up the stewardship Pyramid. They will learn the levels of obedience, generosity, and sacrifice and what it takes to move up each level.
