Entrusted with Children

Kyle Kauffman

Psalm 127 reminds us that children are not ultimately ours, but God’s—His possession and His gift. They are blessings, not burdens, and the limitations they may bring to our lives are good and purposeful. Parents are called to be the primary shapers of their children's lives, aiming not merely for behavior or success, but for hearts that love and follow Jesus. This shaping involves intentional teaching, consistent modeling, and unconditional love. We are not able to carry out such an important calling apart from God’s grace which we need for strength, for transformation, and for our failures. Ultimately, we are called to trust God with our children, continually entrusting them into His sovereign care.

Entrusted with Vocations

Brandon Fisher

God entrusts us with different vocations and callings in our lives so that we might work for His glory and the good of other people. The Bible teaches us that work is a gift from God, not a curse to be avoided. Though sin has distorted our experience of work—bringing frustration, toil, and imbalance—it remains a meaningful part of God’s design for our lives. Vocation is an important way we live out our faith, using our gifts and efforts to love and serve our neighbors, provide for those under our care, and give generously to others. Yet, with this gift comes danger: we can turn our work into an idol, grounding our identity solely in our jobs, overworking, or neglecting rest and relationships. Still, God is present and active in our vocations; He works through us to accomplish His purposes in the world—whether through parenting, teaching, building, caregiving, or leading. Ultimately, whatever season of life we’re in, we are called to see our vocations as sacred opportunities to glorify God and bless others.

Entrusted with Abilities

Josh Stalnaker

God has uniquely gifted each of us with skills and abilities, not by accident, but through His intentional design and the work of His Spirit. Recognizing and discerning these gifts is part of our calling, yet pride often stands in the way—either by using our gifts for self-glorification or by holding back in fear of failure. True stewardship means using our gifts to serve others, whether in the church, in our vocations, or in everyday life, always in dependence on God and for His glory. We are called not only to know our gifts but to actively and humbly deploy them, trusting that God empowers both the gift and its impact.

1 Peter 4:9-11

Owners or Managers

Kyle Kauffman

Everything we have ultimately belongs to God, and the abundance we enjoy is a reflection of His goodness and generosity. True stewardship begins with a heart of gratitude, recognizing that all we possess is not ours to own, but God's to entrust for a time. Because we won't have these resources forever, we’re called to use them wisely and faithfully, not wasting what God has given, but investing it in ways that honor Him. In response to His grace, our aim should be to please God with all that we have, living not as owners, but as faithful stewards of His gifts.

Luke 16:1-13
