Faithful Steward

Luke 16:1-13

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?
