Entrusted (2 Timothy 2:14-26) - Lucas Kovtynovich

As we close out For Generations to Come, we're reminded that faithfulness is rarely flashy. It looks like praying again, serving again, giving again, trusting God again, and faithfully stewarding what He has placed in our hands. Over time, those ordinary acts of faithfulness can shape families, churches, and generations. Our responsibility is faithfulness. God is responsible for the fruit. May we faithfully hand forward the hope of Jesus for generations to come.

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into 2 Timothy 1 where Paul encourages Timothy to Gas Up the Gift God has placed within him and to Guard the Gospel that has been entrusted to him. Timothy is reminded of his spiritual heritage, his God-given calling, and the power available to him, while also being challenged not to shrink back when faithfulness becomes costly.

Send us Fan MailA speeding car. A crosswalk. A mother watching helplessly as everything changes in seconds. Nancy Iskander joins me to share the story of Mark and Jacob, the two sons she lost on September 29, 2020, and what it has taken to keep breathing, parenting, and believing after the kind of loss most people cannot imagine. Nancy also opens our hearts to who her boys were: Mark the bright, funny social butterfly with big dreams, and Jacob the tough, athletic “biblical boy” who loved the Word.We talk through the real texture of early grief and trauma, including denial that lingers, the isolating silence after tragedy, and that brutal question every bereaved parent eventually asks: now what? Nancy explains how she copes while carrying ongoing sorrow, why she narrowed her circle to emotionally safe people, and how prayer became a lifeline, especially through a court case that drew national attention. She also shares a powerful perspective as a pharmacist and grieving mom who refused to numb the pain, not wanting to “mask” love or risk forgetting her children.From there, we explore what it means to turn grief into purpose. Nancy and her family built the Mark and Jacob Iskander Foundation, supporting underserved kids, scholarships, orphan care, and foster youth, and helped establish Good Shepherd, Mark and Jacob, a foster care organization serving Southern California. If you've ever wondered how someone can still trust God after something horrific, Nancy offers an honest, steady Christian witness and a practical kind of hope that meets you where you are.If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more grieving parents can find it.http://markandjacobfoundation.org/

Entrusted - Ps Nathan McGowan

We have a small part to play inside the vast kingdom of God. Still, in remarkable grace, God has given “the keys to the kingdom of heaven” to his church, the gathered believers who confess his name. What does it mean to be entrusted with this set of keys? From Peter to Paul, it seems like the early Christians did not use the “keys to the kingdom” to lock the community behind gates, but to unlock the power of the Spirit.

Entrusted (2 Timothy 1:15-2:13) - Pastor Brett Barton

Don't Bury What He Entrusted By Preacher Archie L Gilmer

Pastor Jared Richard launches a new series through 1 Timothy by grounding the church in a simple but weighty truth drawn from 1 Timothy 3:15 — that the church is "the household of God, a pillar and buttress of the truth." The local church, he argues, is not merely a gathering of people who enjoy one another's company. It is the place where the gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed, protected, and passed on. That is what makes the church irreplaceable, and that is what must be guarded with diligence. To make his case, Pastor Jared walks through 1 Timothy 1:1-11, where Paul writes to Timothy about a serious crisis in the church at Ephesus — false teaching. The false teachers were internal, intriguing, and yet ultimately empty of any godly power. Paul had warned the Ephesian elders in Acts 20:28-31 that "fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock," and from among their own leadership no less. Now that warning had come to pass, and Paul's apostolic solution was faithful leadership — leaving Timothy behind to evaluate and restore the eldership so that the church could once again be a faithful witness to the gospel. Pastor Jared closes by reminding Bay Leaf that the reason all of this matters is the gospel promise of transformed lives. The gospel is the only message to which God has attached his transforming power. False teaching, whether it comes from a pulpit or a worship song laced with prosperity gospel theology, puts the burden back on the people and distracts them from the completed work of Christ. The aim of the charge, as Paul says in 1 Timothy 1:5, is "love that issues from a pure heart, a good conscience, a sincere faith" — and that kind of love only grows in soil that has been cultivated by the faithful, Spirit-empowered proclamation of the gospel.

Entrusted (2 Timothy 1:1-14) - Pastor Brett Barton

What does it mean to put God first?In this message from the Entrusted series, we explore the power and purpose of giving God the “firsts” of our lives — our time, attention, priorities, finances, decisions, and gifts.Discover how putting God first is ultimately an issue of trust and lordship, and learn a practical framework for becoming a person who consistently honors God: Frame it, Intend it, Rhythm it, Safeguard it, and Train it.Through Scripture and the inspiring story of Olympic athlete and missionary Eric Liddell, this message challenges us to move beyond good intentions and build a life where God truly has first place.A powerful reminder that when we give God our first, we learn to trust Him with the rest.⛪ Thrive Church Helping people move towards Jesus.

God personally entrusts all mankind with specific responsibilities, expecting not mere preservation but fruitful effort that reflects his worth. In the Parable of the Talents the first two servants model faithful stewardship by acting immediately and multiplying what the master gave, while the third servant's fear, laziness, and excuses expose a heart uninterested in serving God. Because Christ will certainly return as Judge—rewarding the faithful and condemning the false we must each live with the sober awareness that our works reveal whom we truly belong to.

She faithfully followed Jesus through His crucifixion, witnessed His burial, encountered the risen Christ, and was entrusted with the extraordinary responsibility of announcing His resurrection.The episode also examines how cultural assumptions can sometimes influence Christian interpretation and why believers should distinguish biblical teaching from traditions that may have developed later.Jamie's central message is simple but powerful: God is better than we have imagined, He profoundly loves women, and He purposefully includes them in His redemptive work.This conversation encourages both men and women to recognize that God works through willing, faithful believers and that the Body of Christ is strongest when believers honor one another while keeping Jesus and His redemptive mission at the center.In This EpisodeJamie Hulker's personal faith journeyStudying Scripture verse by verseWomen throughout God's redemptive planDeborah's leadership in JudgesMary Magdalene and the resurrection of JesusLydia and the Gospel entering EuropePhoebe, Priscilla, Junia, and Romans 16Paul's relationship with female coworkersBiblical calling versus cultural expectationsWhy secondary theological issues should not divide the ChurchMen and women working together in the Body of ChristFaithfulness, obedience, calling, and Christian purposeRestoring biblical conversations that honor God and one anotherKeywords / TagsJamie Hulker, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, Kingdom Crossroads Podcast, TS Wright, CPE Summer 2026, Christian Product Expo, women in the Bible, women in ministry, women in God's redemptive plan, biblical women, Mary Magdalene, Deborah in the Bible, Lydia Bible, Phoebe Romans 16, Priscilla and Aquila, Junia Bible, Romans 16 women, Apostle Paul women, Paul and women, Christian women, women of faith, women and Christianity, biblical womanhood, Christian leadership, women in church leadership, women in the early church, God's purpose for women, God's calling, redemptive plan, Body of Christ, Christian discipleship, Bible study, Christian author, Christian books, Christian podcast, Christian interviews, biblical theology, biblical equality, spiritual calling, Gospel of Jesus Christ, resurrection of Jesus, Great CommissionCall to ActionAre you ready to look again at what Scripture says about the men and women God uses to accomplish His purposes?

 Entrusted With Time Time is one of the greatest gifts God has entrusted to us—but how are we using it?In this message, Ps. Khulu Duma explores four powerful principles: time forms our lives, time can be redeemed, time must be used wisely, and time is made up of moments. Discover how intentional choices with our time can shape who we become, strengthen our relationships, deepen our walk with God, and help us live faithfully in every season.Whether you're struggling with regret over wasted time, battling distractions, or simply wanting to make your moments count, this message offers hope, practical wisdom, and a reminder that God is a redeeming God.⛪ Thrive Church Helping people move towards Jesus.

Giving is a response to what God has already done for us through Jesus by giving Himself. Giving is not losing something but faithfully stewarding what already belongs to God.

Everything we have is from God including time. Time is a valuable resource that God has given us. The question is are we using it wisely?

God has entrusted each of us with something valuable. The question is not simply what we have received, but what we will do with it. In this episode of “Seed,” we explore the different ways God works through what He places in our care. Sometimes we are custodians protecting the seed. Sometimes we are called to sow it. At other times, God sows us into new places where our lives can bear fruit. We also consider the danger of consuming what was intended for a future harvest and the patience required when a calling remains dormant. Through the examples of Joseph, Abraham, and Jesus—the promised Seed—we are reminded that waiting is never wasted when God is at work. Your consistency will carry you through. Faithfully steward what God has placed in your hands, live according to His standard, and trust Him with the timing of the harvest.

Today we will study a parable that seemingly has nothing to do with us. It’s easy to assume Jesus just told this story so the Pharisees who were in the crowd realized how bad they were. But haven’t we learned if Jesus told a story then, it applies to us today? Haven’t we discovered so far in our study of the parables that Jesus’ stories are layers and layers deep? So, as we read this next story, as yourself this question – “Am I faithfully tending what God has entrusted to me in this life?” Remember this is all on lease and God’s going to ask for it back. Even your very life! Matthew 21: 33-45 Now listen to another story. A certain landowner planted a vineyard, built a wall around it, dug a pit for pressing out the grape juice, and built a lookout tower. Then he leased the vineyard to tenant farmers and moved to another country. At the time of the grape harvest, he sent his servants to collect his share of the crop. But the farmers grabbed his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. So the landowner sent a larger group of his servants to collect for him, but the results were the same. Finally, the owner sent his son, thinking, ‘Surely they will respect my son.' But when the tenant farmers saw his son coming, they said to one another, ‘Here comes the heir to this estate. Come on, let's kill him and get the estate for ourselves!' So they grabbed him, dragged him out of the vineyard, and murdered him. When the owner of the vineyard returns,” Jesus asked, “what do you think he will do to those farmers? The religious leaders replied, ‘He will put the wicked men to a horrible death and lease the vineyard to others who will give him his share of the crop after each harvest.’ Then Jesus asked them, “Didn't you ever read this in the Scriptures? ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the LORD's doing, and it is wonderful to see.' I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit. Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on. When the leading priests and Pharisees heard this parable, they realized he was telling the story against them—they were the wicked farmers. Okay, let’s pull out a few things and apply them to our lives today. The vineyard belonged to the landowner. The farmers were only leasing the vineyard. Notice how much work the owner did before the farmers ever touched the vineyard. He planted it. Built the wall. Dug the winepress. Built the tower. Then he LEASED it to the farmers. They didn’t create the vineyard. They didn’t buy the vineyard. They didn’t make the vines grow. They didn’t own the harvest. They were managers of something that belonged to someone else. And THAT IS US! Your life is a vineyard God has entrusted to you. Your body, your marriage, your children, your friendships, your home, your career, your money, your gifts, your talents, your time, your opportunities … None of it is ultimately yours. It’s been ENTRUSTED to you. Think about your children – are they really yours? Did you knit them together in your womb? Did you create them yourself? Did you design them? Is it you that breathed life into them? No, they are and always have been God’s. He’s entrusted that child to you to raise, to guide, to love. All of this is on lease. God has chosen you to steward what is HIS for the short span of your lifetime. So, Sis – how’s your stewardship going? We’re so quick to ask, “What do I want to do with my life?” But girl, this life isn’t even yours! You’re stewarding this time and these opportunities given to you by God. The question is, “God, what do you want done with what you’ve given me?” Jesus says the Kingdom would be given to those who would “produce the proper fruit.” God isn’t simply looking for people who hang out in the vineyard. He’s looking for fruit. You can be in church and produce no fruit. You can know Scripture and produce no fruit. You can have great success, look incredibly good, be totally impressive and produce no fruit. What fruit are we talking about? Ahhhh yes, remember back to our Fruits of the Spirit study together. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control. If you’re stewarding the vineyard of your life well, then girl, your life should look different! People should see evidence that Jesus is growing in you! We are not people riddled with anxiety and fear. We are not impatient, irritated, grouchy souls. We are not negative, impulsive or judgmental. NO – that’s not what Jesus grows. The world grows that, but we are called to be different, empowered by the Holy Spirit to produce a radically different fruit in our leased vineyard. My friend, your life is producing something. What is it? Now, this story takes a turn. A turn that is a personal conviction on our tendency to claim “mine.” The farmers eventually say: “Let’s kill the heir and get the estate for ourselves.” They didn’t want to just work the vineyard. They wanted to own it. Dang – don’t we do this? God gives us something to steward and we get all clingy and bratty claiming “mine”. This is my time. This is my money. This is my body. They are my children. These are my plans. This is my life. Here’s the real problem with that – when we start believing it’s OURS, we have a real problem when God asks for his share. And that’s the real heart issue Jesus is exposing in this parable. Where have you taken what God has temporarily entrusted to you, claimed it as solely yours, and now you want to maintain control over it? You’re essentially telling God to stay out of your vineyard, forgetting IT’S HIS! In Jesus’ story of the Evil Farmers, we see the vineyard owner repeatedly sends servants in to visit and collect his share. The tenant farmers reject the servants. So, the owner sends more messengers. Eventually he sends in his son. We read this and immediately know how this plays out. That’s our Jesus. They kill our Jesus. God always knew that would happen. But here we see his patience. He sends messengers and reminders, giving the tenant farmers more time and more opportunities. Oh how God repeatedly comes after us. He sends us just the right sermon when we need it. Just the perfect devotional at the right time. Just the right conversation with the right friend. He interrupts us with his presence. What’s really happening is God is trying to get your attention. He loves you so much that he’s coming at you in every way to send you the message about his vineyard. Hey, this life you’re living belongs to God and he expects you to produce fruit. Again and again, he shows you mercy. What has God entrusted to you that He is now asking you to surrender back to Him? Maybe it’s your time. Maybe it’s control. Maybe it’s your money. Maybe it’s a relationship. Maybe it’s your body. Maybe it’s a gift or a dream that started with God but has slowly become about you. God doesn’t ask you to give Him what He never gave you. He’s simply asking for the fruit from the vineyard He entrusted to you. The religious leaders rejected Jesus. But Jesus says the very stone they rejected becomes the cornerstone. A cornerstone determines the alignment of the entire building. That’s a beautiful picture for us. Jesus isn’t supposed to be an addition to your life. He’s supposed to be the thing your life is built around. Not: “Where can I fit Jesus into my plans?” But: “How do I build my plans around Jesus?” Not: “How can Jesus help me achieve my dream?” But: “Jesus, what dream are You building in me?” God doesn’t give you things so you can possess them. He entrusts things so you can steward them. Everything and everyone you have and love today is on lease from God. You have it for just a little bit of time to care for, nurture, and help grow. What does the owner want you to do with those things today? When you really consider what the owner wants, it changes how you parent. How you spend. How you work. How you respond. How you show up. How you make decisions. WHAT DOES THE OWNER WANT? TEND what God has entrusted to you. PRODUCE the fruit God is looking for. RETURN to God what already belongs to Him. SURRENDER your life to the Jesus. You are not the owner of the vineyard. You are the steward of it. Everything you have is something God has entrusted to you for a season. And one day, the Owner comes looking for His harvest. How different would your life look today if you truly lived like God owns everything and you’re simply his steward? If the Owner walked into your vineyard today and asked for His harvest, what would you have to give Him?

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 27:20–22 and three stubborn realities of the human heart: desire that is never satisfied, praise that exposes character, and folly that punishment alone cannot remove. Solomon shows that getting more cannot cure uncontrolled desire, applause can test us more severely than criticism, and external correction can restrain behavior without transforming the heart. Ultimately, these verses point beyond human remedies to the work only God can accomplish—contentment, humility, and the inward transformation of a new heart.

What is the most important thing you personally know how to do, and do you think it will still be done that way in twenty years? Many of us are working with computer programs that will be obsolete in two. Mechanics tell me how different car motors today than they were at the start of their careers. It seems like the information we know has an expiration date that arrives faster every year. How do you prepare a generation for what's next? Titus has the answer for us: Teach them sound doctrine.

Everything we have has been given to us by God. We are called to work and steward it including our finances. Are we rich towards ourselves or to God?

The church belongs to Christ, purchased by His blood and built by His power. Titus 1:5-9 addresses a vital question every congregation must wrestle with: who can Christ trust with His church? Paul instructs Titus to appoint elders who are above reproach, faithful in their homes, and firmly anchored to sound doctrine. These qualifications are not reserved for church leaders alone. They are a picture of what grace produces in every believer. Every Christian must ask what truly rules their life in the private, ordinary moments. The greatest protection Christ gives His church is not merely qualified elders. It is Himself, the chief shepherd, who is perfectly faithful and will never abandon what He purchased with His own blood.

Everyone wants the next breakthrough, the next opportunity, the next level of influence, or the next answered prayer. But Scripture teaches something different.   Before increase comes stewardship. Before promotion comes faithfulness. Before expansion comes protection.   In this teaching, we'll explore what it means to guard the fruit God has already grown in your life, recognize the "little foxes" that quietly steal what matters most, and develop the kind of capacity God can trust with more.   If you've been feeling restless, striving for the next thing, or wondering why God seems to be asking you to slow down, this message will help you see your current season differently. If this message challenged you, I'd love to hear from you. What is one thing God has already entrusted to you that deserves more intentional protection? Leave it in the comments.   And if you're ready to build the kind of spiritual, emotional, and leadership capacity that can faithfully carry more, I'd love to invite you into Courage Co.®, where we practice becoming leaders God can trust—together.

Letting God Be Lord Over Your Finances, which Are His but He Entrusted to You, Will Liberate Your Life! MESSAGE SUMMARY:  We are so focused on earning money and other financially driven life activities so that it is easy for money and finances to become our god. Making finances “our god” violates the Second Commandment. If Jesus is Lord over all Creation, as we are told in Psalms 24:1, then: “The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.”; therefore, everything that has been entrusted to you is God's. In James 5:1-3, the author of the Book of James provides insight into someone who does NOT make God the Lord of their finances: “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.”. Therefore, let God Be Lord over your finances, which really are His finances.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Psalms 24:1-10; James 5:1-6; Psalms 25:1-22; Psalms 45:1-17.

LESSON 166I Am Entrusted With The Gifts Of God.All things are given you. God's trust in you is limitless. He knows His Son. He gives without exception, holding nothing back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet, unless your will is one with His, His gifts are not received. But what would make you think there is another will than His?Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world. This world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must still believe there is another will, and one that leads to opposite effects from those He wills. Impossible indeed; but every mind that looks upon the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy and true believes in two creators; or in one, himself alone. But never in one God.The gifts of God are not acceptable to anyone who holds such strange beliefs. He must believe that to accept God's gifts, however evident they may become, however urgently he may be called to claim them as his own, is to be pressed to treachery against himself. He must deny their presence, contradict the truth, and suffer to preserve the world he made.Here is the only home he thinks he knows. Here is the only safety he believes that he can find. Without the world he made is he an outcast; homeless and afraid. He does not realize that it is here he is afraid indeed, and homeless, too; an outcast wandering so far from home, so long away, he does not realize he has forgotten where he came from, where he goes, and even who he really is.Yet in his lonely, senseless wanderings, God's gifts go with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he will not look at what is given him. He wanders on, aware of the futility he sees about him everywhere, perceiving how his little lot but dwindles, as he goes ahead to nowhere. Still he wanders on in misery and poverty, alone though God is with him, and a treasure his so great that everything the world contains is valueless before its magnitude.He seems a sorry figure; weary, worn, in threadbare clothing, and with feet that bleed a little from the rocky road he walks. No one but has identified with him, for everyone who comes here has pursued the path he follows, and has felt defeat and hopelessness as he is feeling them. Yet is he really tragic, when you see that he is following the way he chose, and need but realize Who walks with him and open up his treasures to be free?This is your chosen self, the one you made as a replacement for reality. This is the self you savagely defend against all reason, every evidence, and all the witnesses with proof to show this is not you. You heed them not. You go on your appointed way, with eyes cast down lest you might catch a glimpse of truth, and be released from self-deception and set free.You cower fearfully lest you should feel Christ's touch upon your shoulder, and perceive His gentle hand directing you to look upon your gifts. How could you then proclaim your poverty in exile? He would make you laugh at this perception of yourself. Where is self-pity then? And what becomes of all the tragedy you sought to make for him whom God intended only joy?Your ancient fear has come upon you now, and justice has caught up with you at last. Christ's hand has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone. You even think the miserable self you thought was you may not be your Identity. Perhaps God's Word is truer than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real. Perhaps He has not wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion, and go the way you chose without your Self.God's Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned in your plan to lose your Self. He does not know about a plan so alien to His Will. There was a need He did not understand, to which He gave an Answer. That is all. And you who have this Answer given you have need no more of anything but This.Now do we live, for now we cannot die. The wish for death is answered, and the sight that looked upon it now has been replaced by vision which perceives that you are not what you pretend to be. One walks with you Who gently answers all your fears with this one merciful reply, “It is not so.” He points to all the gifts you have each time the thought of poverty oppresses you, and speaks of His Companionship when you perceive yourself as lonely and afraid.Yet He reminds you still of one thing more you had forgotten. For His touch on you has made you like Himself. The gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has come to offer you, you now must learn to give. This is the lesson that His giving holds, for He has saved you from the solitude you sought to make in which to hide from God. He has reminded you of all the gifts that God has given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your will when you accept these gifts, and recognize they are your own.The gifts are yours, entrusted to your care, to give to all who chose the lonely road you have escaped. They do not understand they but pursue their wishes. It is you who teach them now. For you have learned of Christ there is another way for them to walk. Teach them by showing them the happiness that comes to those who feel the touch of Christ, and recognize God's gifts. Let sorrow not tempt you to be unfaithful to your trust.Your sighs will now betray the hopes of those who look to you for their release. Your tears are theirs. If you are sick, you but withhold their healing. What you fear but teaches them their fears are justified. Your hand becomes the giver of Christ's touch; your change of mind becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can never suffer anything. You are entrusted with the world's release from pain.Betray it not. Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to accept His gifts, and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have received them. He has shared His joy with you. And now you go to share it with the world.- Jesus Christ in ACIM
