Stewardship Over Ownership

A kingdom was expected overnight, but Jesus told a story that reshaped the timeline and the task. Walking through Luke 19, we explore the parable of the minas and what it means to live between a King’s departure and his return. The nobleman goes away to receive a kingdom, entrusts each servant with one mina, and later settles accounts. That single instruction—do business till I come—becomes a blueprint for faithful, everyday discipleship.

We unpack how stewardship replaces the myth of ownership. Money, time, gifts, and even relationships are not possessions to control but trusts to cultivate. Pastor Ken draws a straight line from Jeremiah 29 to modern life: build, plant, raise families, and seek the peace of your city, even in a cultural “Babylon.” Far from passivity or panic, waiting looks like vocational excellence, generous living, and steady love for people God treasures. We also confront the hard edge of the story—the citizens who refuse the King—and trace it to the trial before Pilate where the crowd cries, “We have no king but Caesar.” The cross becomes the watershed: the rejected King secures salvation and promises to return.

When he does, he will ask what we did with what he entrusted. Some will show tenfold fruit, others five, and some will only reveal a handkerchief and excuses. The difference isn’t talent; it’s trust and obedience. Expect rewards that far exceed the scale of our inputs—authority over cities for faithful trading in small things. By the end, you’ll have a renewed vision for your daily calling: invest your mina, honor the people God placed in your care, and work with hope anchored in the coming kingdom.
