Faithful Stewards 2023
Christ’s plan for the church includes biblical leadership. Church leaders cannot serve in every ministry of the church—it would be an impossible and unbiblical task. Rather, our role as church leaders is to identify people in the church who are qualified and gifted to lead and help to equip them from God’s Word. This includes identifying men that God has called and gifted to lead the entire church and training lay people to lead various ministries.
For these reasons, the theme of this year’s conference is “Loving Christ by Leading His Sheep.”

In 2022 we addressed the foundational issues of preaching and teaching God’s Word, including all aspects of sermon preparation. We considered the biblical foundation of expository preaching, the practical process of exegesis, the construction of an expository sermon, and the five keys to crossing the contextual bridge.

In 1 Corinthians 4, the apostle Paul reminds us that God will not measure our ministries by their results—whether outward success or failure. We contribute nothing to the spiritual results of our efforts. Only God can give life to dead hearts through the gospel—regeneration (Jas. 1:18). And only His Spirit can transform the hearts of His people through His Word—sanctification (John 17:17; 2 Cor. 3:18). All that God requires of us is to be faithful stewards.
Faithful Stewards is presented by The Word Unleashed, a ministry of Countryside Bible Church.
