The Creation Mandate – Dominion and Stewardship

Lesson 1: The Creation Mandate – Dominion and Stewardship

Key Focus: God’s original design for humanity to rule and reign in His authority.

Scripture References:

• Genesis 1:26-28 – God’s mandate for humanity to have dominion.
• Psalm 8:4-6 – Humanity’s honored position in God’s creation.
• Luke 10:19 – Authority given to believers over the enemy.

Discussion Points:

1. What does it mean to be created in God’s image regarding authority?
2. How was dominion entrusted to humanity as stewards of creation?
3. How does this authority apply to believers today?

Application:

• Reflect on areas where you are called to exercise godly dominion (family, workplace, ministry).
• Pray for wisdom in stewarding the authority God has given you.
