PARTICIPANT GUIDE
What if stewardship is about much more than money? This Sunday, we begin Entrusted, a new series exploring how God calls us to faithfully manage everything He places in our hands—our relationships, opportunities, gifts, resources, influence, and even the seasons we didn’t choose. We’ll discover that everything belongs to God, and faithfulness is His measure of stewardship.

BIG IDEA
Stewardship is faithfully managing whatever God entrusts to our care—for His glory, our growth, and the good of others.
SERMON SUMMARY
This week launches Entrusted by establishing the theology that will shape the entire series: everything belongs to God, and everything He places in our hands becomes a stewardship assignment. Stewardship is not limited to money. It is faithfully managing whatever God entrusts to our care for His glory, our growth, and the good of others.
Step 1: God owns everything. Genesis 1:1 and Psalm 24:1 remind us that God is Creator and therefore Owner. Our lives, resources, relationships, opportunities, and influence ultimately belong to Him. Stewardship begins when we stop asking, “What do I want to do with what is mine?” and start asking, “Lord, what do You want me to do with what belongs to You?”
Step 2: God entrusts people with responsibility. In Genesis 2:15, Adam is placed in the garden to work it and care for it. He did not own the garden; he managed what God placed under his care. Throughout Scripture, God continues to entrust people with assignments.
Step 3: Stewardship includes the whole of life. Joseph’s story will show us that dreams, adversity, responsibility, temptation, influence, and power can all become stewardship assignments.
Step 4: Stewardship requires faithfulness. First Corinthians 4:2 says that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. God does not measure us by comparison or visibility. He looks for faithfulness with the assignment He has given us.
Step 5: Stewardship includes accountability. Romans 14:12 reminds us that each of us will give an account to God. Jesus illustrates this in Matthew 25 through the Parable of the Talents. The faithful servants received the same commendation despite receiving different amounts: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
The invitation this week is simple: identify what God has entrusted to you right now, surrender ownership back to Him, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you steward it faithfully.

- Psalm 24:1 says everything belongs to God. What difference should God’s ownership make in the way we approach our possessions, relationships, careers, and plans?
- What has God entrusted to your care in your current season of life?
- Why do you think it is easy to value someone else’s assignment more than our own?
- First Corinthians 4:2 says God requires faithfulness. What does faithfulness look like when the results are not immediate or visible?
- How can comparison interfere with faithfully stewarding what God has given us?
- Are there difficult or unexpected circumstances in your life that you have never considered a stewardship assignment? What might faithful stewardship look like there?
- If Jesus asked you today, “What are you doing with what I placed in your hands?” what area would immediately come to mind?

DEVOTIONAL PLAN
Memory Verse of the Week
1 Corinthians 4:2
“Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
Day 1: It All Belongs to God
Memory Verse of the Week:
1 Corinthians 4:2 “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
Scripture
Psalm 24:1
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”
Devotional Thought
Stewardship begins with a truth that changes the way we see everything: God owns it all. Before we ever talk about what we should do with our money, time, gifts, relationships, or opportunities, Scripture reminds us that none of those things ultimately belong to us. “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” That means our lives are not possessions to control; they are gifts to steward.
This is freeing when we truly receive it. If God is the Owner, then we do not have to carry the pressure of acting like everything depends on us. We are managers, not masters. We are called to listen, obey, cultivate, and care for what He has placed in our hands.
Ownership changes our questions. Instead of asking, “What do I want to do with my life?” we begin asking, “Lord, what do You want to do through the life You have given me?” Instead of saying, “This is my money, my career, my family, my time,” we begin to say, “God, these belong to You. Show me how to handle them well.”
That posture opens our hearts to the Holy Spirit. Stewardship is not merely careful planning; it is Spirit-led surrender. We invite the Lord into our decisions and trust Him to guide us.
Today, identify one area of your life you have been holding tightly. It may be your schedule, finances, future, family, or plans. Place it back in God’s hands. The goal is not to become passive. The goal is to become faithful. When we remember who owns everything, we can steward everything with greater peace, humility, and purpose. In every season of life.
Reflection Questions
- What area of your life is easiest for you to think of as “mine” instead of God’s?
- How would your decisions change if you truly viewed everything as belonging to God?
- What is one area you need to surrender to God today?

Day 2: What's in Your Hands?
Memory Verse of the Week:
1 Corinthians 4:2 “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
Scripture:
Genesis 2:15 “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”
Devotional Thought:
From the beginning, God gave people responsibility. Genesis tells us that God placed Adam in the garden “to work it and take care of it.” Adam did not create the garden, and he did not own it. He received an assignment from the One who did.
That is one of the clearest pictures of stewardship in Scripture. God places something in our care, and then He invites us to cultivate it faithfully.
Your assignment may not look dramatic. It might be raising children, leading a team, serving in a ministry, caring for a home, doing your job well, strengthening a marriage, or being faithful in a season that feels ordinary. We can easily overlook these responsibilities because they do not always feel spiritual. But stewardship teaches us that ordinary responsibilities become holy when they are placed in God’s hands.
The Holy Spirit wants to help us become faithful in the places where God has planted us. He gives wisdom for conversations, strength for demanding seasons, patience with people, creativity for problems, and conviction when our attitude begins to drift.
One danger is constantly wishing for someone else’s assignment. We can become so focused on what God may do someday that we neglect what He has asked us to do today. Joseph’s life reminds us that God often prepares people for greater responsibility by watching how they handle present responsibility.
Ask yourself: What is currently under my care? Who has God entrusted to me? What assignment is right in front of me?
Faithfulness usually starts close to home. Take care of what God has placed in your hands today. Serve with excellence. Love people well. Follow through. Pray over your responsibilities. God is not only interested in where you are going; He is also shaping who you are becoming while you faithfully steward where you are.
Reflection Questions:
- What responsibilities has God placed in your hands right now?
- Is there an ordinary assignment you have been overlooking or undervaluing?
- What would greater faithfulness look like in that area this week?
Suggested Reading: Genesis 1:26–28
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for trusting me with responsibilities that matter to You. Give me wisdom, strength, and a willing heart to care well for what You have placed in my hands. Holy Spirit, help me recognize the holy opportunities hidden in ordinary life.

Day 3: Your Whole Life is Stewardship
Memory Verse of the Week:
1 Corinthians 4:2 “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
Devotional Thought:
Stewardship is much bigger than possessions. It includes every part of life that God allows to come under our care. We often think of stewardship in terms of finances, but Scripture gives us a much wider picture.
We steward our time, our bodies, our words, our relationships, our opportunities, our influence, our emotions, our spiritual gifts, and even the difficult seasons we would never have chosen.
Joseph’s story makes this clear. Before he was ever entrusted with Egypt, he was entrusted with a dream. Before he was given influence, he walked through betrayal and adversity. Before he stood in a palace, he served in a prison. Each season looked different, but every season contained an opportunity to be faithful.
That means the season you are in right now matters. It may not be the season you wanted. It may feel slower, harder, or less significant than what you imagined. Yet God can use this season to form your character and deepen your dependence on Him.
Being a steward does not mean pretending every circumstance is good. It means asking, “Holy Spirit, how do You want me to respond faithfully here?” Sometimes stewardship looks like courage. Sometimes it looks like patience. Sometimes it means speaking truth, setting a boundary, forgiving someone, resting, serving, or simply continuing to obey when you cannot yet see the outcome.
Do not waste your current season by only wishing for the next one. God is present here. He can work here. He can grow you here.
Today, ask the Lord what faithfulness looks like in the season you are living. You may discover that what feels like an interruption is actually an assignment, and what feels ordinary may be a place where God is preparing you for what comes next.
Reflection Questions:
- What parts of your life have you never thought about as stewardship?
- What might God want to develop in you during your current season?
- What would it look like to invite the Holy Spirit into that area today?
Suggested Reading: Genesis 39:1–6
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me see my whole life as something entrusted to me by God. Give me wisdom to recognize what You are doing in this season. Help me respond with obedience and faithfulness wherever You have placed me.

Day 4: Faithful, Not Famous
Memory Verse of the Week:
1 Corinthians 4:2 “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:2
“Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
Devotional Thought:
Paul writes that those who have been given a trust “must prove faithful.” That is a powerful reminder because our culture often measures life by visible success. We celebrate growth, achievement, influence, applause, and results. God certainly can bless results, but His measure of stewardship goes deeper: faithfulness.
Faithfulness means doing what God has asked us to do with what He has given us. It means obedience when no one notices. Integrity when compromise would be easier. Consistency when enthusiasm fades. Service when recognition never comes.
This is encouraging because we do not all receive the same assignments. Jesus made that clear in the Parable of the Talents. One servant received five talents, another two, and another one. The amounts were different, but the faithful servants received the same commendation: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
God is not asking you to be someone else. He is asking you to be faithful with your assignment.
Comparison can quietly destroy stewardship. When we compare our resources, opportunities, family, ministry, career, or gifts with someone else’s, we can become discouraged or proud. Both reactions distract us from what God has placed in our hands.
The Holy Spirit brings our focus back. He reminds us that faithfulness is possible today. We can make the call, finish the task, tell the truth, keep the commitment, serve the person, give generously, pray again, and obey the next thing God places before us.
You may not control the outcome, but you can control your response to God.
Today, release the pressure to impress. Ask the Lord to help you be faithful. Heaven’s applause is not reserved for the most visible people. It is for servants who faithfully manage what the Master has entrusted to them.
Reflection Questions:
- Where are you most tempted to compare your assignment with someone else’s?
- What is the difference between pursuing success and pursuing faithfulness?
- What is one act of faithfulness God is asking of you today?
Suggested Reading: Matthew 25:14–30
Prayer:
Father, free me from comparison and the need to impress others. Help me measure my life by faithfulness to You. Holy Spirit, give me strength to obey You in the large assignments and the small ones.

Day 5: One Day We Give An Account
Memory Verse of the Week:
1 Corinthians 4:2 “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
Scripture: Romans 14:12
“So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.”
Devotional Thought:
Stewardship is both a privilege and a responsibility because one day every steward gives an account. Romans 14:12 says, “Each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” Jesus reinforced this truth in the Parable of the Talents. The master returned, called his servants, and asked what they had done with what he entrusted to them.
Accountability can sound intimidating, but for the believer it should also create clarity. Our lives matter. Our choices matter. Our words, time, influence, gifts, relationships, and resources are not insignificant. God has given us the privilege of participating in His purposes, and He calls us to take that responsibility seriously.
The goal is not fear-driven performance. We are saved by grace, not by our accomplishments. But grace does not make our lives meaningless; grace empowers us to live faithfully. The Holy Spirit helps us walk in obedience, corrects us when we drift, and gives us power to become the people Jesus has called us to be.
The question is not, “Did I have as much as someone else?” The question is, “What did I do with what God entrusted to me?”
That changes the way we approach today. We do not have to wait for a bigger platform, a better season, or more resources to begin living faithfully. We can steward what is already in our hands.
As this week closes, take inventory. What has God entrusted to you right now? Where have you been faithful? Where is the Spirit asking for adjustment?
Then respond with confidence in God’s grace. Our prayer is that when we stand before Christ, we will hear the words Jesus placed at the center of this parable: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Reflection Questions:
- How does knowing you will give an account to God change the way you view today?
- Where is the Holy Spirit encouraging you or correcting you in your stewardship?
- What do you want to be able to say you faithfully stewarded at the end of your life?
Suggested Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:10
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for the life and opportunities You have entrusted to me. Search my heart and show me where I need to grow in faithfulness. By Your grace and the power of the Holy Spirit, help me live for the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
