Sunday Recap

Continued my series on "The Inevitable and the Possible" from Matthew 25. Looked at the parable of the talents. According to this parable, to prepare for the inevitable (standing before God and giving an account for your life), you must see yourself as a servant and a steward. When we see that we are servants, we realize that we serve Someone greater than ourselves. It keeps us from becoming self-serving, self-centered, and just plain selfish. The selfish life is not a rewarding life and leads us far away from the possibilities to change the world and live a meaningful life. A steward is someone who has been entrusted with someone else's stuff. God has entrusted us with much (wealth, time, talents, etc.) but make no mistake, it all belongs to Him. It may feel like yours but He could take it all back tomorrow. So make a point to use it all wisely and with His goals in mind. To know that God trusts me with His stuff and that He wants me to use it for His kingdom opens up a world of possibilities. He doesn't micromanage. He leaves it up to us on how to invest and what to invest in but make no mistake, He expects a return. What are you doing that proves that you are ready for the inevitable? There is a whole world out there that needs you. Find a cause to champion and be a hero to someone in need.
