Main Idea: Christian, you are a temporary manager of God’s eternal investments.
Introduction
- Everything we have in this life belongs ultimately to God, and we are stewards of what he has given us.
- The blessings we receive as stewards of what God has given us are promised to us in our future eternity with God.
Outline: Temporary managers of God’s eternal investments must be…
- Wisely creative with God’s eternal investments (v. 1-8)
- Strategically generous with God’s eternal investments (v. 9)
Implication Questions (v. 10-13)
- What can you thank God for as evidences of his generosity toward you?
- Reflect on how you view your earthly wealth. Do your spending habits and priorities reveal that you understand these things are God’s and not your own?
- Are there inconsistencies between how faithful you are with stewarding the ‘little things’ in your life and how you steward the ‘larger things’ in your life?
- What excites you about the truths concerning eternity we see in this passage?
- How can thoughts of eternal rewards influence how you see your earthly wealth as a tool for the Gospel?
