Luke 16:1–13 (NIV)
1 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you?
Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’
3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now?
My master is taking away my job.
I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg—4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors.
He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “ ‘Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’
7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’
“ ‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ he replied.
“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’
8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly.
For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.
9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.
10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?
13 “No one can serve two masters.
Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money.”
I. Godly Stewardship always has accountability to others
A. Repeat point and provide proper exegesis
B. Provide at least 2 images(illustration, metaphor, etc…)
Parable of the Talents
In the Parable of the Talents, the money that was entrusted to each person was not theirs.
The money was given to them for a certain amount of time and they were held accountable for their management of it.
It’s a perfect example of how God entrusts us with money during our time here on earth.
We will be held accountable for how we have managed it, whether we have a lot or a little!
We are not the owners of what we have.
We are all temporary managers.
We will be either faithful or unfaithful in how we manage it.

Godly Stewardship maximizes the gifts of God
A. Repeat point and provide proper exegesis

1 Peter 4:10 (NIV) 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
R. G. LeTourn (1888 – 1969) was a Christian industrialist who dedicated his life to “being a businessman for God.”
He was hugely successful, designing and developing his own line of earth-moving equipment.
LeTourneau was the maker of nearly 300 inventions, and had hundreds of patents in his lifetime.
As he succeeded financially, he increased his giving to the point where he was giving 90% of his income to the Lord’s work.
I shovel out the money, and God shovels it back—but God has a bigger shovel.
– R.
