8/14/22 9:30 ”The Scandal of Squandered Resources.” (Adam Hughes)

I) The Practical Parable

     A) The Responsibility We Receive (vv. 14-15)

     B) The Reaction We Have (vv. 16-18)

     C) The Reckoning We Face (v. 19)

     D) The Reward We Gain (vv. 20-30)

 

II) The Spiritual Point

A true servant, or simply a disciple, is one who willingly, joyfully, and with anticipation orders his or her life to expand the Lord's kingdom. 

 

III) The Kingdom Principle

There are two great questions of application for us to ask:

     1) Are we as individuals ordering our lives and resources to serve the King now?

     2) Are we as a church ordering our plans and actions to usher in the Kingdom now?

 

Jesus is not teaching to whom much is given much is required. He is teaching to whom anything is given something is required!
