- She. if he could provide manna from heaven.
- 00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:05.168
- If he can heart the waters to get to the other side,
- 00:00:05.168 --> 00:00:08.171
- He can provide the things that you need.
- 00:00:08.171 --> 00:00:10.673
- When you listen to his voice and follow him.
- 00:00:10.673 --> 00:00:13.142
- But all of a sudden we see this shift from that
- 00:00:13.142 --> 00:00:16.179
- To also, okay, god will supply what you need,
- 00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:18.347
- But with the needs that god gives you,
- 00:00:18.347 --> 00:00:20.650
- There comes responsibility.
- 00:00:20.650 --> 00:00:22.618
- But all of a sudden we see this shift from that
- 00:00:22.618 --> 00:00:25.655
- To also, okay, god will supply what you need,
- 00:00:25.655 --> 00:00:27.824
- But with the needs that god gives you,
- 00:00:27.824 --> 00:00:30.093
- There comes responsibility
- 00:00:30.093 --> 00:00:32.595
- And you are held accountable over the responsibility
- 00:00:32.595 --> 00:00:34.997
- You should have over with what god placed in your hands.
- 00:00:34.997 --> 00:00:38.701
- So jesus warns us.
- 00:00:38.701 --> 00:00:39.936
- He says, there's going to be some servants who hear the lord.
- 00:00:39.936 --> 00:00:42.472
- They hear their master, and they're ready to go.
- 00:00:42.472 --> 00:00:44.273
- But there's also going to be some
- 00:00:44.273 --> 00:00:45.575
- Some people who hear, god don't care,
- 00:00:46.409 --> 00:00:49.178
- Hear god, don't listen,
- 00:00:49.178 --> 00:00:51.147
- Hear god, don't walk in obedience.
- 00:00:51.147 --> 00:00:53.583
- And even though they know what they should do,
- 00:00:53.583 --> 00:00:55.985
- They do not do it.
- 00:00:55.985 --> 00:00:57.553
- So let's look at the text together.
- 00:00:57.553 --> 00:00:58.788
- Luke chapter 12, verse 47 and 48.
- 00:00:58.788 --> 00:01:02.558
- Here's the parable. jesus said that
- 00:01:02.558 --> 00:01:04.460
- Servant knew what his master wanted him to do.
- 00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:07.530
- But listen to this.
- 00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:08.331
- But he did not make himself ready
- 00:01:08.331 --> 00:01:10.633
- Or tried to do what his master wanted.
- 00:01:10.633 --> 00:01:13.503
- So that servant will be punished very much.
- 00:01:13.503 --> 00:01:16.873
- But what about the servant
- 00:01:16.873 --> 00:01:18.674
- Who does not know what his master wants?
- 00:01:18.674 --> 00:01:21.144
- He also does things that deserve punishment,
- 00:01:21.144 --> 00:01:23.913
- But he will get less punishment
- 00:01:23.913 --> 00:01:25.781
- Than the servant who knew what he should do.
- 00:01:25.781 --> 00:01:29.452
- Now, to explain the context and background of this parable,
- 00:01:29.452 --> 00:01:32.288
- Jesus is talking about a master
- 00:01:32.288 --> 00:01:34.090
- That left his servants in charge.
- 00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:36.659
- Okay.
- 00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:37.560
- The master leaves coming back one day,
- 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.864
- But they're not good stewards over
- 00:01:41.864 --> 00:01:43.533
- What the master has left,
- 00:01:43.533 --> 00:01:44.667
- And they beat the servants under them,
- 00:01:44.667 --> 00:01:46.802
- And they hurt people, and they're selfish
- 00:01:46.802 --> 00:01:49.405
- And they're greedy. guess what? the master comes back.
- 00:01:49.405 --> 00:01:53.342
- You know what that represents.
- 00:01:53.943 --> 00:01:56.145
- Jesus comes back.
- 00:01:56.145 --> 00:01:59.248
- And so he's asking the question.
- 00:01:59.248 --> 00:02:01.784
- In this lifetime,
- 00:02:01.784 --> 00:02:03.653
- In the short amount of time that you have on this earth,
- 00:02:03.653 --> 00:02:06.455
- With everything that god has given you,
- 00:02:06.455 --> 00:02:08.524
- Are you stewarding it well at all?
- 00:02:08.524 --> 00:02:10.726
- Or are you living by greed and selfishness
- 00:02:10.726 --> 00:02:13.029
- And putting yourself first before other people?
- 00:02:13.029 --> 00:02:14.997
- Because guess what? god knows.
- 00:02:14.997 --> 00:02:17.767
- And god also knows if you know better, but
- 00:02:17.767 --> 00:02:20.403
- Still not walking in obedience.
- 00:02:20.403 --> 00:02:24.640
- So then jesus says this. he says this.
- 00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:26.709
- He says, whoever has been given much for this
- 00:02:26.709 --> 00:02:30.279
- Will be responsible for much.
- 00:02:30.913 --> 00:02:34.350
- I think i just changed your prayer life right there.
- 00:02:34.350 --> 00:02:36.652
- God, you know those things, i want it, i don't want them.
- 00:02:36.652 --> 00:02:39.956
- I don't want them anymore.
- 00:02:39.956 --> 00:02:40.957
- Just i'm good with where i'm at.
- 00:02:40.957 --> 00:02:42.558
- I'm good with everything. right?
- 00:02:42.558 --> 00:02:45.461
- With more
- 00:02:45.761 --> 00:02:47.797
- Comes more responsibility.
- 00:02:47.797 --> 00:02:51.200
- And so my question for you today is if you want to be blessed,
- 00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:53.402
- Can you actually handle the blessings that they
- 00:02:53.402 --> 00:02:54.904
- Were placed in your hands?
- 00:02:54.904 --> 00:02:57.573
- Would it change you?
- 00:02:57.573 --> 00:03:00.109
- Would you become a different person
- 00:03:00.109 --> 00:03:01.377
- If you got everything you wanted?
- 00:03:01.377 --> 00:03:03.779
- Sometimes the blessings can reveal
- 00:03:03.779 --> 00:03:05.348
- What's really on the inside and in your heart.
- 00:03:05.348 --> 00:03:09.018
- But listen to what jesus says here.
- 00:03:09.018 --> 00:03:10.152
- Here's there's much more will be expected from the one
- 00:03:10.152 --> 00:03:12.088
- Who has been given more.
- 00:03:12.088 --> 00:03:15.258
- Just this past week, i believe i had a god conversation.
- 00:03:16.359 --> 00:03:19.895
- I talked to a friend that i haven't
- 00:03:19.895 --> 00:03:21.230
- Talked to in a good while,
- 00:03:21.230 --> 00:03:23.099
- And we were just kind of catching up on some things,
- 00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:24.800
- And he actually brought up the topic.
- 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.702
- I did not,
- 00:03:26.702 --> 00:03:27.803
- But he brings up the topic
- 00:03:27.803 --> 00:03:29.005
- Has he says, you know what, i'm just trying to get closer
- 00:03:29.005 --> 00:03:30.573
- To the lord on a lot of things in my life.
- 00:03:30.573 --> 00:03:32.775
- And he said, i want to start tithing again.
- 00:03:32.775 --> 00:03:34.877
- I want to be generous, i want to
- 00:03:34.877 --> 00:03:36.345
- I want to give over to the lord.
- 00:03:36.345 --> 00:03:37.480
- Now, i'm not going to tell you this guy's business,
- 00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:40.049
- But let me just say he makes more than a month
- 00:03:40.049 --> 00:03:41.884
- And i'll ever make in my lifetime.
- 00:03:41.884 --> 00:03:43.919
- Okay?
- 00:03:44.153 --> 00:03:45.521
- And he said, you know what?
- 00:03:45.521 --> 00:03:46.722
- I want to be more generous with what the lord has given me
- 00:03:46.722 --> 00:03:48.824
- Because i know that everything good comes from above.
- 00:03:48.824 --> 00:03:52.128
- But he said, it's hard.
- 00:03:52.128 --> 00:03:53.462
- It's really, really difficult.
- 00:03:53.462 --> 00:03:55.431
- And i said, why is it hard to give?
- 00:03:55.431 --> 00:03:57.166
- What are you struggling with?
- 00:03:57.166 --> 00:03:58.034
- He said, because it's so much to give
- 00:03:58.034 --> 00:04:01.337
- That it's hard for me to trust and let it go.
- 00:04:02.204 --> 00:04:05.975
- And it just kind of blew my mind the conversation.
- 00:04:05.975 --> 00:04:07.843
- I'm so glad he was honest.
- 00:04:07.843 --> 00:04:10.646
- Like, to me, it was such a good conversation
- 00:04:10.646 --> 00:04:12.715
- Because he's being real and he's being vulnerable
- 00:04:12.715 --> 00:04:14.917
- About the very thing that he's struggling with.
- 00:04:14.917 --> 00:04:17.053
- And it kind of blew my mind because i've spoken many times
- 00:04:17.053 --> 00:04:19.789
- About my upbringing and struggling financially
- 00:04:19.789 --> 00:04:22.358
- And not having enough to give.
- 00:04:22.358 --> 00:04:23.793
- Here's another person who has too much, but still
- 00:04:23.793 --> 00:04:27.129
- Struggling with the temptation to give. why?
- 00:04:27.129 --> 00:04:29.799
- Because the temptation not to give will come after you,
- 00:04:29.799 --> 00:04:32.234
- No matter what social status.
- 00:04:32.234 --> 00:04:34.303
- Because if you look at the bible, it's
- 00:04:35.071 --> 00:04:36.439
- Not an amount issue, it's a heart condition.
- 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.541
- Every time.
- 00:04:38.541 --> 00:04:40.109
- It's always a heart condition.
- 00:04:40.109 --> 00:04:42.278
- If you're praying for more, god, give me more.
- 00:04:42.278 --> 00:04:44.980
- I want to be financially stable. i want to have a savings.
- 00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:47.683
- I want to have a retirement.
- 00:04:47.683 --> 00:04:48.751
- I want to have all these things listed.
- 00:04:48.751 --> 00:04:50.219
- But if you can't handle $10, $10 in a godly manner,
- 00:04:50.219 --> 00:04:53.956
- You will not handle 10,000.
- 00:04:53.956 --> 00:04:56.959
- If you cannot be responsible for $10,
- 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.261
- You will not be responsible with 10,000
- 00:04:59.261 --> 00:05:01.230
- If god placed it in your hands today.
- 00:05:01.230 --> 00:05:03.099
- It's a discipline thing
- 00:05:03.099 --> 00:05:06.302
- And people get so upset over it sometimes and i don't get it
- 00:05:06.302 --> 00:05:08.738
- Like i needed it. i struggled with it,
- 00:05:08.738 --> 00:05:10.773
- But i needed the discipline to get there.
- 00:05:10.773 --> 00:05:13.275
- I had to set disciplines.
- 00:05:13.275 --> 00:05:14.877
- Imagine if you did that with everything else.
- 00:05:14.877 --> 00:05:17.012
- I want to get in shape.
- 00:05:17.012 --> 00:05:18.514
- I want to get some abs and get right.
- 00:05:18.514 --> 00:05:20.249
- But, i'm just going to go to the gym, whatever i want to,
- 00:05:20.249 --> 00:05:22.585
- And i'm on this eat everything i see.
- 00:05:23.386 --> 00:05:25.187
- Diet. it's working well for me.
- 00:05:25.187 --> 00:05:27.723
- Except the mornings when i get up.
- 00:05:27.723 --> 00:05:29.125
- I don't feel that good.
- 00:05:29.125 --> 00:05:31.293
- You need discipline for the goals that you want in
- 00:05:31.293 --> 00:05:33.863
- Life, right? you do it with everything else.
- 00:05:33.863 --> 00:05:35.865
- You do it with your business.
- 00:05:35.865 --> 00:05:37.700
- You do it with your marriage.
- 00:05:37.700 --> 00:05:39.802
- Why don't you do it with what god has placed in your hands,
- 00:05:39.802 --> 00:05:42.772
- Even financially,
- 00:05:42.772 --> 00:05:44.707
- To give over to the kingdom of god.
- 00:05:44.707 --> 00:05:46.075
- And so we had this talk and i was thinking like,
- 00:05:46.075 --> 00:05:48.310
- You know what?
- 00:05:48.310 --> 00:05:49.178
- Let me teach this out of the bible
- 00:05:49.178 --> 00:05:51.347
- Because this is a powerful
- 00:05:51.347 --> 00:05:52.548
- Again, it's not an amount problem. it's a heart condition.
- 00:05:52.548 --> 00:05:54.784
- We all struggle with it.
- 00:05:54.784 --> 00:05:56.018
- And some of us, it doesn't mean you're a bad person either.
- 00:05:56.018 --> 00:05:57.653
- I'm not saying that he's not a bad person.
- 00:05:57.653 --> 00:05:59.889
- We just get stuck.
- 00:05:59.889 --> 00:06:01.624
- We just get stuck with
- 00:06:02.091 --> 00:06:03.125
- Trusting god sometimes when it comes to these things.
- 00:06:03.125 --> 00:06:06.328
- So now if you have your bibles, turn to matthew chapter 25.
- 00:06:06.328 --> 00:06:09.432
- Okay.
- 00:06:09.665 --> 00:06:10.533
- I want to show you one more parable.
- 00:06:10.533 --> 00:06:11.801
- This parable is actually about
- 00:06:11.801 --> 00:06:14.437
- Taking care of the master's money.
- 00:06:14.437 --> 00:06:17.873
- But the principle also applies to everything
- 00:06:17.873 --> 00:06:19.775
- That god has given you in your life. okay?
- 00:06:19.775 --> 00:06:21.877
- Whether it's talents, whether it's skills, okay,
- 00:06:21.877 --> 00:06:24.547
- Whether it's finances or just blessings,
- 00:06:24.547 --> 00:06:26.749
- Whatever god has given you,
- 00:06:26.749 --> 00:06:28.350
- Are you stewarding it well for his kingdom?
- 00:06:28.350 --> 00:06:30.920
- But in this case, it actually is talking about a bag of money
- 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.089
- Or a talent. according to many translations.
- 00:06:34.089 --> 00:06:36.992
- Matthew 25, verse 14 and 15 and when i say talent,
- 00:06:36.992 --> 00:06:40.329
- I mean a bag of money.
- 00:06:40.329 --> 00:06:41.597
- Again it states, the kingdom of heaven
- 00:06:41.597 --> 00:06:44.600
- Can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip.
- 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:49.472
- Now he called together his servants
- 00:06:49.472 --> 00:06:51.273
- And entrusted his money to them while he was gone.
- 00:06:51.273 --> 00:06:54.977
- And he gave five bags of silver to one, two bags
- 00:06:54.977 --> 00:06:58.647
- Of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last,
- 00:06:58.647 --> 00:07:01.951
- Dividing it in proportion to according to the way.
- 00:07:01.951 --> 00:07:05.588
- Oh, will you underline that?
- 00:07:06.188 --> 00:07:08.190
- Because this is where we get in our fields,
- 00:07:08.190 --> 00:07:10.693
- This is where we get in our emotions,
- 00:07:10.693 --> 00:07:12.695
- And we start to get upset
- 00:07:12.695 --> 00:07:14.163
- That god didn't give me what he gave you,
- 00:07:14.163 --> 00:07:16.966
- That god gave me less than what he gave you.
- 00:07:16.966 --> 00:07:18.934
- Listen, here's what the bible states
- 00:07:18.934 --> 00:07:20.469
- About the character of god.
- 00:07:20.469 --> 00:07:21.504
- He divides it and proportions according to our
- 00:07:21.504 --> 00:07:24.406
- Abilities.
- 00:07:24.406 --> 00:07:25.441
- And another way, the things that you can handle,
- 00:07:25.441 --> 00:07:28.077
- The things that you're actually
- 00:07:28.077 --> 00:07:29.178
- Strong enough to carry because you don't want weight
- 00:07:29.178 --> 00:07:30.813
- You can't carry, it will cost you.
- 00:07:30.813 --> 00:07:33.282
- Okay, so that's what he's stating here.
- 00:07:33.282 --> 00:07:35.317
- Then he left on his trip.
- 00:07:35.317 --> 00:07:36.886
- This was not just a small bag.
- 00:07:36.886 --> 00:07:39.188
- And again, some of your translations
- 00:07:39.188 --> 00:07:40.389
- State talent which is a unit of measurement of this silver.
- 00:07:40.389 --> 00:07:44.827
- And so let me break it down for you.
- 00:07:44.827 --> 00:07:45.995
- One bag was roughly equal to about 20 years of wages.
- 00:07:45.995 --> 00:07:51.400
- That small bag.
- 00:07:51.767 --> 00:07:53.102
- So imagine that much money placed in your hands.
- 00:07:53.102 --> 00:07:55.971
- Oh, god. are you sure you want to
- 00:07:55.971 --> 00:07:58.374
- Give me 20 years of wages for the average worker?
- 00:07:58.374 --> 00:08:01.277
- Just for some fun.
- 00:08:01.277 --> 00:08:03.145
- A modern estimate today of a bag or a towel.
- 00:08:03.145 --> 00:08:05.915
- It could be around 500,000 to $1 million.
- 00:08:05.915 --> 00:08:09.818
- Some of y'all looking at me like, well,
- 00:08:10.686 --> 00:08:12.655
- Imagine god placing $1 million in your hand.
- 00:08:12.655 --> 00:08:16.325
- Everybody wants to be a millionaire.
- 00:08:16.325 --> 00:08:18.394
- But can you handle god's million?
- 00:08:18.394 --> 00:08:19.862
- That's the question.
- 00:08:19.862 --> 00:08:22.097
- It was honest to the master belongs to god.
- 00:08:22.097 --> 00:08:24.133
- That's what he's stating here.
- 00:08:24.133 --> 00:08:25.200
- It's $1 million placed in your hand.
- 00:08:25.200 --> 00:08:27.036
- Just one bag.
- 00:08:27.036 --> 00:08:28.671
- But again, according to their abilities.
- 00:08:28.671 --> 00:08:31.307
- And so here's what i see in our own life.
- 00:08:31.307 --> 00:08:33.108
- I deal with this all the time, even even in myself.
- 00:08:33.108 --> 00:08:35.477
- Okay, we get it.
- 00:08:35.477 --> 00:08:36.445
- We get excited. god trusted me with a million.
- 00:08:36.445 --> 00:08:39.248
- Trusting me with a million.
- 00:08:39.248 --> 00:08:40.282
- Hallelujah!
- 00:08:40.282 --> 00:08:41.717
- And you're happy.
- 00:08:41.717 --> 00:08:42.585
- You're grateful until you're offended
- 00:08:42.585 --> 00:08:43.986
- That somebody else over there has 5 million.
- 00:08:43.986 --> 00:08:46.822
- What did you do?
- 00:08:47.222 --> 00:08:48.490
- You know, like, how did you get there?
- 00:08:48.490 --> 00:08:50.326
- And so be careful.
- 00:08:50.326 --> 00:08:53.929
- Remember what god told cain.
- 00:08:53.929 --> 00:08:56.131
- Sin is crouching at your door,
- 00:08:56.131 --> 00:08:58.601
- Ready to consume you.
- 00:08:58.601 --> 00:08:59.635
- It wants to overtake you, wants to control you.
- 00:08:59.635 --> 00:09:01.770
- Comparing yourself to others will kill stewardship
- 00:09:01.770 --> 00:09:05.341
- Always comparing yourself to other
- 00:09:06.108 --> 00:09:08.544
- People will kill the calling that god has on your life,
- 00:09:08.544 --> 00:09:12.915
- Because you're too busy looking and focusing on the wrong lane.
- 00:09:12.915 --> 00:09:18.020
- Run your race.
- 00:09:18.354 --> 00:09:20.022
- It's your story.
- 00:09:20.022 --> 00:09:21.790
- God is so good that you have a story of your own.
- 00:09:21.790 --> 00:09:24.493
- You don't need their story.
- 00:09:24.493 --> 00:09:26.662
- God's writing a story specifically for you,
- 00:09:26.662 --> 00:09:29.131
- But comparing yourself will kill stewardship.
- 00:09:29.131 --> 00:09:31.166
- And guess what?
- 00:09:31.166 --> 00:09:32.167
- When jealousy grows, it kills all generosity.
- 00:09:32.167 --> 00:09:34.336
- Why would i give if i'm not getting the things that i want?
- 00:09:34.336 --> 00:09:39.541
- We say that and we hear it.
- 00:09:40.142 --> 00:09:42.911
- We hear in our heads.
- 00:09:42.911 --> 00:09:43.846
- Sometimes we hear it in our hearts.
- 00:09:43.846 --> 00:09:46.315
- Our flesh is screaming.
- 00:09:46.315 --> 00:09:47.416
- These things.
- 00:09:47.416 --> 00:09:49.618
- And so god gives us what we can handle
- 00:09:49.618 --> 00:09:53.288
- When it comes to this, what we could steward well.
- 00:09:53.288 --> 00:09:56.191
- Now, god will allow situations
- 00:09:56.191 --> 00:09:57.726
- In your life to be more than you can handle,
- 00:09:57.726 --> 00:09:59.895
- To rely on his strength.
- 00:09:59.895 --> 00:10:02.731
- But there's a revelation here
- 00:10:02.731 --> 00:10:03.732
- I want to i want to show you that.
- 00:10:03.732 --> 00:10:04.900
- Here's the reason why
- 00:10:04.900 --> 00:10:07.136
- I believe sometimes we hold back on really trusting god.
- 00:10:07.136 --> 00:10:10.039
- Let's keep reading matthew 25, verse 16 to 18.
- 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.075
- It stated this the servant who received
- 00:10:13.075 --> 00:10:14.677
- The five bags of silver began to invest the money.
- 00:10:14.677 --> 00:10:16.645
- So immediately
- 00:10:16.645 --> 00:10:18.180
- The lord placed it in his hands
- 00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:19.348
- And immediately started to invest it.
- 00:10:19.348 --> 00:10:21.583
- Okay, he earned five more.
- 00:10:21.583 --> 00:10:23.252
- The servant with two bags of silver
- 00:10:23.252 --> 00:10:24.987
- Also went to work and he earned two more.
- 00:10:24.987 --> 00:10:26.789
- Immediately going obedience is following the lord,
- 00:10:26.789 --> 00:10:30.592
- But the servant who received the one bag of silver
- 00:10:30.592 --> 00:10:33.896
- Dug a hole in the ground,
- 00:10:34.463 --> 00:10:36.799
- And he hid his master's money.
- 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.835
- Let me word it like this.
- 00:10:39.835 --> 00:10:40.936
- But god placed in his life, he dug it in the ground
- 00:10:40.936 --> 00:10:44.473
- And he buried it.
- 00:10:44.907 --> 00:10:45.941
- You only bury things that you believe are dead.
- 00:10:45.941 --> 00:10:49.111
- You bury things
- 00:10:49.478 --> 00:10:51.280
- That you think you don't need.
- 00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:53.916
- And i believe that he was afraid
- 00:10:53.916 --> 00:10:56.318
- To trust the master and fear.
- 00:10:56.318 --> 00:10:58.620
- Listen to me.
- 00:10:58.620 --> 00:10:59.321
- Fear will
- 00:10:59.321 --> 00:11:00.556
- Always cause you to bury what god has called you to build.
- 00:11:00.556 --> 00:11:03.125
- That was a good idea. but.
- 00:11:03.692 --> 00:11:07.696
- Won't work for me.
- 00:11:08.130 --> 00:11:10.299
- I love the biblical truth, but.
- 00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:14.002
- I'm buried in the ground.
- 00:11:14.570 --> 00:11:16.538
- Literally.
- 00:11:16.538 --> 00:11:17.506
- It's like opening your hands with everything
- 00:11:17.506 --> 00:11:18.774
- The lord has given you
- 00:11:18.774 --> 00:11:19.875
- And throwing it to the ground and saying goodbye.
- 00:11:19.875 --> 00:11:23.212
- And god wants you to use it for his kingdom.
- 00:11:24.146 --> 00:11:26.582
- So let's look again at the story here.
- 00:11:26.582 --> 00:11:27.883
- The master returns.
- 00:11:27.883 --> 00:11:28.851
- The servant who had the five bags or five
- 00:11:28.851 --> 00:11:30.018
- More gave it to him.
- 00:11:30.018 --> 00:11:31.587
- The servant who had two bags and two more gave it to him.
- 00:11:31.587 --> 00:11:33.856
- Immediately they went to work because they trusted the master.
- 00:11:33.856 --> 00:11:36.391
- Now listen to verse 23.
- 00:11:36.391 --> 00:11:38.160
- Notice if you if you've heard this before.
- 00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:40.429
- Well done, my good and faithful servant.
- 00:11:40.429 --> 00:11:44.666
- I pray that all of us here, that
- 00:11:45.300 --> 00:11:47.102
- One day before the kingdom of god,
- 00:11:47.102 --> 00:11:49.605
- Or the in the kingdom of heaven before jesus,
- 00:11:49.605 --> 00:11:51.940
- You have been faithful.
- 00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:53.142
- Now listen to this faithful and handling the small amount.
- 00:11:53.142 --> 00:11:56.278
- Listen to what god calls for
- 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.915
- A million,
- 00:11:59.915 --> 00:12:01.617
- 5 million, 2 million.
- 00:12:01.617 --> 00:12:04.686
- So small.
- 00:12:04.987 --> 00:12:06.855
- God didn't need your money.
- 00:12:06.855 --> 00:12:08.390
- He made everything he can make anything
- 00:12:08.390 --> 00:12:12.294
- But listen to what he says here.
- 00:12:12.928 --> 00:12:13.996
- So now i will give you many more responsibilities.
- 00:12:13.996 --> 00:12:17.666
- Let's celebrate together.
- 00:12:17.666 --> 00:12:19.802
- You know what i love about god?
- 00:12:19.802 --> 00:12:20.969
- He's fun,
- 00:12:20.969 --> 00:12:22.771
- He said. let's celebrate.
- 00:12:22.771 --> 00:12:24.573
- You get more money. why?
- 00:12:24.573 --> 00:12:26.909
- Because i can trust you with it.
- 00:12:26.909 --> 00:12:29.578
- It's not that you're worshiping these possessions.
- 00:12:29.578 --> 00:12:31.547
- It doesn't make your identity. it doesn't fulfill your life.
- 00:12:31.547 --> 00:12:34.383
- But you're using it for my kingdom.
- 00:12:34.383 --> 00:12:36.318
- So let's celebrate together,
- 00:12:36.318 --> 00:12:37.653
- Because lives will be changed for all eternity now.
- 00:12:37.653 --> 00:12:41.256
- And in the kingdom of heaven, you will see
- 00:12:41.256 --> 00:12:43.025
- With your investments we're able to do
- 00:12:43.025 --> 00:12:45.360
- How they were able to impact people's lives forever,
- 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.164
- To impact their lives forever.
- 00:12:49.765 --> 00:12:52.134
- So let's celebrate.
- 00:12:52.134 --> 00:12:53.769
- But that one servant,
- 00:12:53.769 --> 00:12:56.371
- He speaks a different language.
- 00:12:57.005 --> 00:12:58.340
- I want you to.
- 00:12:58.340 --> 00:12:59.174
- I want you to listen to the language
- 00:12:59.174 --> 00:13:00.142
- That comes out of his mouth.
- 00:13:00.142 --> 00:13:01.176
- Verse 24,
- 00:13:01.176 --> 00:13:02.211
- Then the servant with the one bag of silver came
- 00:13:02.211 --> 00:13:03.879
- And said, master, i knew you were a harsh man.
- 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.017
- Nobody else said that.
- 00:13:09.484 --> 00:13:12.221
- You know, that sounds like to me it sounds arrogant
- 00:13:12.221 --> 00:13:15.557
- Assumptions.
- 00:13:15.557 --> 00:13:18.126
- The thing is, he doesn't know the master at all.
- 00:13:18.126 --> 00:13:21.196
- But he comes up, acts like he knows better, and says,
- 00:13:21.196 --> 00:13:24.032
- I know that you are a harsh man.
- 00:13:24.032 --> 00:13:25.801
- You don't know the master at all.
- 00:13:25.801 --> 00:13:28.670
- You don't know his character.
- 00:13:28.670 --> 00:13:30.973
- You don't want to trust him.
- 00:13:30.973 --> 00:13:32.641
- Verse 25 and 26 and then he says it out loud.
- 00:13:32.641 --> 00:13:34.877
- He says, i was afraid.
- 00:13:34.877 --> 00:13:36.845
- It's all about fear.
- 00:13:36.845 --> 00:13:39.181
- I was afraid i would lose your money.
- 00:13:39.181 --> 00:13:41.717
- I was afraid
- 00:13:41.717 --> 00:13:42.851
- I would make a mistake with what you placed in my hands.
- 00:13:42.851 --> 00:13:45.220
- I was afraid that i would fail you.
- 00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:47.089
- So you know what? i just didn't try.
- 00:13:47.089 --> 00:13:49.391
- I didn't want to try.
- 00:13:49.892 --> 00:13:50.792
- I didn't wanna put myself out there.
- 00:13:50.792 --> 00:13:52.294
- I just took what you gave me and buried it in the ground.
- 00:13:52.294 --> 00:13:56.398
- Here's your money back that i hid.
- 00:13:56.398 --> 00:13:59.234
- Let me say it in different ways.
- 00:13:59.234 --> 00:14:00.302
- Here's a tally that you gave me. god. here you go.
- 00:14:00.302 --> 00:14:02.337
- Take it back. i'm not going to use it for you.
- 00:14:02.337 --> 00:14:04.873
- The business that you gave me.
- 00:14:04.873 --> 00:14:05.974
- God, take it back. the family that you gave me.
- 00:14:05.974 --> 00:14:08.810
- Take it.
- 00:14:08.810 --> 00:14:09.678
- I don't care anymore.
- 00:14:09.678 --> 00:14:10.746
- That's the attitude of despair.
- 00:14:10.746 --> 00:14:13.081
- That's what it means to bury it in the ground.
- 00:14:13.081 --> 00:14:14.950
- Look, here is your money back.
- 00:14:14.950 --> 00:14:16.418
- But the master replied, you wicked and lazy servant,
- 00:14:16.418 --> 00:14:20.155
- Verse 27 through 29.
- 00:14:20.622 --> 00:14:22.391
- Why didn't you deposit my money in the bank?
- 00:14:22.391 --> 00:14:24.593
- At least i could have gotten some interest on it.
- 00:14:24.593 --> 00:14:26.995
- What god is saying is this why didn't you even try?
- 00:14:26.995 --> 00:14:30.732
- How come you never walk by obedience?
- 00:14:31.533 --> 00:14:33.268
- You never even saw what i could do in your life.
- 00:14:33.268 --> 00:14:36.571
- You just buried it and wasted it.
- 00:14:37.306 --> 00:14:38.874
- And you believe the lies of the devil.
- 00:14:38.874 --> 00:14:40.242
- You believe the lies of your own flesh.
- 00:14:40.242 --> 00:14:42.044
- And you never trusted me.
- 00:14:42.044 --> 00:14:45.514
- Why didn't you just deposit what i gave you?
- 00:14:45.514 --> 00:14:48.750
- Let it grow. that had impact.
- 00:14:48.750 --> 00:14:50.852
- And then he ordered. now listen to this.
- 00:14:50.852 --> 00:14:52.054
- Take the money from the servant
- 00:14:52.054 --> 00:14:53.956
- And give it to the one with the ten bags of silver.
- 00:14:53.956 --> 00:14:57.459
- Who? the one who is able to handle it well, to those who use
- 00:14:57.459 --> 00:15:00.729
- Well what they are given here it is.
- 00:15:00.729 --> 00:15:02.731
- Even more will be given.
- 00:15:02.731 --> 00:15:05.400
- And they will have an abundance.
- 00:15:05.400 --> 00:15:09.972
- You want more?
- 00:15:10.305 --> 00:15:10.906
- You're praying for more.
- 00:15:10.906 --> 00:15:13.275
- Then be thankful for what you have now.
- 00:15:13.275 --> 00:15:15.911
- Because how can you ask for so much more
- 00:15:16.712 --> 00:15:18.547
- If you're not even thankful for the little that you have?
- 00:15:18.547 --> 00:15:22.250
- God is testing you
- 00:15:22.684 --> 00:15:24.853
- And he's testing me.
- 00:15:24.853 --> 00:15:27.255
- It's a test. when god places
- 00:15:27.255 --> 00:15:28.590
- Something in your hands on how you steward it,
- 00:15:28.590 --> 00:15:31.593
- Listen to this.
- 00:15:31.593 --> 00:15:32.294
- But for those who do nothing,
- 00:15:32.294 --> 00:15:35.063
- Even what little they have
- 00:15:35.063 --> 00:15:37.232
- Will be taken away.
- 00:15:37.232 --> 00:15:40.736
- I just want you to hear that
- 00:15:41.336 --> 00:15:43.872
- You know why?
- 00:15:43.872 --> 00:15:44.806
- It's not that god is being mean. you.
- 00:15:44.806 --> 00:15:46.308
- I think we just.
- 00:15:46.308 --> 00:15:48.610
- We. we use what god has given us for worthless things.
- 00:15:48.610 --> 00:15:52.581
- So many times.
- 00:15:52.914 --> 00:15:53.849
- We're trying to keep up with other people
- 00:15:53.849 --> 00:15:54.850
- Because we're comparing ourselves with others.
- 00:15:54.850 --> 00:15:56.551
- Have we've literally, literally spent so much money.
- 00:15:56.551 --> 00:15:59.521
- We place ourself in debt with cards that we can't pay back.
- 00:15:59.521 --> 00:16:02.657
- And the very things that god has given us,
- 00:16:03.558 --> 00:16:05.127
- We have just given it away for clothes
- 00:16:05.127 --> 00:16:06.995
- That will get old within a week or a month.
- 00:16:06.995 --> 00:16:10.699
- And so let me ask you a real question.
- 00:16:11.533 --> 00:16:12.701
- Is that that these things in your life are bad?
- 00:16:12.701 --> 00:16:14.603
- I'm not saying that the cars are bad.
- 00:16:14.603 --> 00:16:15.871
- The house is not bad. the clothes are not bad.
- 00:16:15.871 --> 00:16:17.372
- All these things are still good.
- 00:16:17.372 --> 00:16:18.640
- Every good gift comes from above.
- 00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:20.242
- But don't worship these things.
- 00:16:20.242 --> 00:16:23.378
- Your identity, your happiness,
- 00:16:23.378 --> 00:16:25.147
- Your fulfillment cannot come from these things.
- 00:16:25.147 --> 00:16:28.283
- That's what i'm saying.
- 00:16:28.784 --> 00:16:29.684
- Jesus has to be first.
- 00:16:29.684 --> 00:16:31.253
- Your identity comes from christ, not the things you wear
- 00:16:31.253 --> 00:16:34.656
- Or can afford.
- 00:16:34.990 --> 00:16:38.293
- But the first words out of his mouth reveal the real issue.
- 00:16:38.293 --> 00:16:40.495
- He says, i was afraid he didn't say i was unprepared.
- 00:16:40.495 --> 00:16:44.466
- He didn't say i was unskilled.
- 00:16:45.067 --> 00:16:46.535
- I didn't have what i needed. oh, he says, i'm afraid.
- 00:16:46.535 --> 00:16:49.604
- I'm afraid i will fail.
- 00:16:50.105 --> 00:16:51.139
- So i just didn't try at all.
- 00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:53.675
- Fear exposes what you really believe about god,
- 00:16:53.675 --> 00:16:58.213
- And trial in your life will expose where your faith is.
- 00:16:59.247 --> 00:17:01.983
- But fear can expose
- 00:17:01.983 --> 00:17:04.453
- What you really believe about god.
- 00:17:04.453 --> 00:17:07.456
- And so my last point is this here's a, i pray, a revelation
- 00:17:07.456 --> 00:17:10.692
- That would change your mindset on some things today.
- 00:17:10.692 --> 00:17:12.527
- If you're struggling with this, the problem wasn't the master.
- 00:17:12.527 --> 00:17:16.398
- The problem was his view of the master.
- 00:17:17.265 --> 00:17:20.569
- The problem is not god.
- 00:17:21.069 --> 00:17:24.106
- The problem is not that jesus doesn't show up for you
- 00:17:24.106 --> 00:17:26.842
- The way that you want him to show up for
- 00:17:26.842 --> 00:17:28.710
- You know, the problem is your view of jesus.
- 00:17:28.710 --> 00:17:31.746
- The problem can be our view of even the church
- 00:17:32.714 --> 00:17:35.617
- When it comes to this.
- 00:17:35.617 --> 00:17:37.185
- Because again, what did he say?
- 00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:38.854
- Since i know that you are a
- 00:17:38.854 --> 00:17:40.021
- Harsh man, but he didn't know the master at all,
- 00:17:40.021 --> 00:17:43.358
- He thought he did.
- 00:17:43.792 --> 00:17:45.694
- And this is where a lot of us are today.
- 00:17:45.694 --> 00:17:47.262
- All right, i'll give.
- 00:17:47.262 --> 00:17:48.096
- But god is going to leave me
- 00:17:48.096 --> 00:17:49.064
- With nothing because that's all i'm used to.
- 00:17:49.064 --> 00:17:52.901
- I step out by faith, but that's probably going to go bad.
- 00:17:52.901 --> 00:17:55.770
- So why even try?
- 00:17:55.770 --> 00:17:59.141
- I would give,
- 00:17:59.508 --> 00:18:01.776
- But i don't trust anybody.
- 00:18:01.776 --> 00:18:05.247
- I don't trust anyone.
- 00:18:05.247 --> 00:18:06.081
- How can i trust the church?
- 00:18:06.081 --> 00:18:08.917
- How can i even trust god in this situation?
- 00:18:08.917 --> 00:18:10.886
- You know? and again,
- 00:18:10.886 --> 00:18:13.321
- I get it, i get it, and i see culture and i see
- 00:18:13.321 --> 00:18:16.124
- I see social media right now attacking,
- 00:18:16.124 --> 00:18:18.960
- Giving to a church in general.
- 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:20.428
- I believe satan would love to defund the church.
- 00:18:20.428 --> 00:18:25.934
- Because then you can
- 00:18:26.401 --> 00:18:27.369
- Impact let me let me just make you aware.
- 00:18:27.369 --> 00:18:30.238
- It does.
- 00:18:30.505 --> 00:18:31.406
- It takes a lot of finances to add space
- 00:18:31.406 --> 00:18:34.709
- To impact, to build,
- 00:18:35.177 --> 00:18:37.612
- To provide for those that are in need to provide
- 00:18:37.612 --> 00:18:40.348
- Groceries, to help children in need.
- 00:18:40.348 --> 00:18:42.150
- When it comes to christmas, it it takes a lot of finances to go
- 00:18:42.150 --> 00:18:45.954
- With staff
- 00:18:45.954 --> 00:18:47.122
- For the counseling hours that it takes with the ministry
- 00:18:47.122 --> 00:18:50.425
- For people who are going through suicidal thoughts
- 00:18:50.425 --> 00:18:53.161
- And depression, it's too much on one pastor to handle.
- 00:18:53.161 --> 00:18:58.099
- It's too much on just a few pastors to handle.
- 00:18:59.067 --> 00:19:01.303
- Like, it takes a lot of resources,
- 00:19:01.303 --> 00:19:03.038
- But god is doing something special,
- 00:19:03.038 --> 00:19:05.273
- Not just in this church with many of his churches right now.
- 00:19:05.273 --> 00:19:08.510
- And i need you to understand this.
- 00:19:08.510 --> 00:19:09.678
- The church grows and reaches even more.
- 00:19:09.678 --> 00:19:11.880
- That's when satan attacks.
- 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.582
- He even more as well comes after the church comes
- 00:19:13.582 --> 00:19:16.484
- After the culture
- 00:19:16.484 --> 00:19:18.119
- Comes after your faith.
- 00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:19.688
- On trusting churches, on giving the churches.
- 00:19:19.688 --> 00:19:22.290
- I'm serving with churches, but let us make some noise
- 00:19:22.290 --> 00:19:25.327
- And make heaven crowded and shake the foundations of hell.
- 00:19:25.327 --> 00:19:29.130
- My god is still in control
- 00:19:29.130 --> 00:19:31.266
- For me when i struggle with giving. here's the thing.
- 00:19:31.266 --> 00:19:33.535
- I just had to come to the realization god,
- 00:19:33.535 --> 00:19:35.604
- I'm doing this because you told me to do it.
- 00:19:35.604 --> 00:19:37.439
- It's only 10% of what i have.
- 00:19:37.439 --> 00:19:39.274
- I owe you so much more.
- 00:19:39.274 --> 00:19:42.043
- I owe you so much more. god,
- 00:19:42.043 --> 00:19:45.413
- I give it to god.
- 00:19:45.847 --> 00:19:48.183
- I give it to him
- 00:19:48.183 --> 00:19:50.552
- Because it's already his.
- 00:19:50.552 --> 00:19:53.822
- It doesn't belong to a person, doesn't belong to anybody else.
- 00:19:53.822 --> 00:19:55.890
- It belongs to him.
- 00:19:55.890 --> 00:19:57.659
- And to me, it's the minimum requirement.
- 00:19:57.659 --> 00:20:00.695
- And god could do whatever he wants with it.
- 00:20:01.630 --> 00:20:05.000
- But here's what i know.
- 00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:06.401
- Fear is lying to you about who jesus is.
- 00:20:06.401 --> 00:20:10.171
- If you're having a hard time trusting on just
- 00:20:10.171 --> 00:20:12.907
- Trusting god in your life.
- 00:20:12.907 --> 00:20:14.209
- And i'm not even talking
- 00:20:14.209 --> 00:20:15.310
- About finances now, i'm talking about everything.
- 00:20:15.310 --> 00:20:17.946
- Your relationships, walking by faith,
- 00:20:17.946 --> 00:20:21.716
- Praying for people, just doing things outside
- 00:20:21.716 --> 00:20:23.818
- Of your comfort zone.
- 00:20:23.818 --> 00:20:24.919
- Here's the thing god is loving. jesus is loving.
- 00:20:24.919 --> 00:20:27.222
- Is that harsh?
- 00:20:27.222 --> 00:20:28.823
- Matthew 11 2830 said, come to me,
- 00:20:28.823 --> 00:20:31.092
- All of you who are tired
- 00:20:31.092 --> 00:20:34.129
- Is that you,
- 00:20:34.462 --> 00:20:36.564
- All of you
- 00:20:36.564 --> 00:20:37.065
- Who have heavy burdens
- 00:20:37.065 --> 00:20:38.099
- And have been forced to carry
- 00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:39.334
- Because this world puts a lot of weight on you,
- 00:20:39.334 --> 00:20:42.304
- A lot of heaviness in your life.
- 00:20:42.304 --> 00:20:45.440
- It says, accept my teaching and learn from me.
- 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.275
- I'm gentle and humble in spirit.
- 00:20:47.275 --> 00:20:49.144
- Jesus didn't have to say that, but he did.
- 00:20:50.011 --> 00:20:52.881
- You want to talk about trust?
- 00:20:52.881 --> 00:20:54.015
- Listen to this second timothy chapter two, verse 13.
- 00:20:54.015 --> 00:20:56.551
- If we are unfaithful, he remains.
- 00:20:56.551 --> 00:21:00.121
- He remains faithful.
- 00:21:00.588 --> 00:21:02.791
- Even when we mess up.
- 00:21:02.791 --> 00:21:04.993
- He never will.
- 00:21:04.993 --> 00:21:07.262
- Even when we give up, at times he never will.
- 00:21:07.262 --> 00:21:09.764
- For he cannot deny who he is.
- 00:21:09.764 --> 00:21:13.134
- We cannot bury what god has placed at our hands.
- 00:21:13.134 --> 00:21:17.138
- Because when you hide it, you declare
- 00:21:17.972 --> 00:21:19.741
- That it's worthless.
- 00:21:19.741 --> 00:21:22.844
- I don't know, step out by faith,
- 00:21:23.478 --> 00:21:26.648
- Risk something.
- 00:21:26.648 --> 00:21:29.484
- So many of us are on this pursuit of happiness.
- 00:21:29.484 --> 00:21:32.087
- We don't even know what that is.
- 00:21:32.087 --> 00:21:33.121
- And happiness fades.
- 00:21:33.121 --> 00:21:35.890
- So many of us are living the lives
- 00:21:35.890 --> 00:21:38.026
- Based off of how we want to live them.
- 00:21:38.026 --> 00:21:39.527
- And guess what? you're still not happy.
- 00:21:39.527 --> 00:21:41.262
- Why? because joy comes from above.
- 00:21:42.030 --> 00:21:45.300
- It's not happiness or searching for joy.
- 00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:48.503
- It's this gift from the holy spirit
- 00:21:48.503 --> 00:21:50.071
- That only comes from above.
- 00:21:50.071 --> 00:21:51.639
- Instead of burying it, use it to lift god up,
- 00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:54.809
- Use it, give it, and steward it.
- 00:21:55.443 --> 00:21:58.380
- That's what we will do as a church.
- 00:21:58.380 --> 00:22:00.882
- And so i have another special, special announcement today.
- 00:22:00.882 --> 00:22:04.586
- Caring hearts pregnancy care center is in the house.
- 00:22:05.620 --> 00:22:09.090
- You guys mind coming up here and i can help you up
- 00:22:09.090 --> 00:22:12.060
- On the stage real quick?
- 00:22:12.060 --> 00:22:17.832
- I want to say what you guys are doing
- 00:22:18.633 --> 00:22:21.636
- Is amazing.
- 00:22:21.636 --> 00:22:23.905
- And i believe that the lord called you
- 00:22:23.905 --> 00:22:26.341
- At a certain time in a certain way.
- 00:22:26.341 --> 00:22:29.711
- And i know at times
- 00:22:29.711 --> 00:22:32.480
- The mission can seem
- 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.682
- Too big and too hard.
- 00:22:34.682 --> 00:22:37.952
- But that's what a god vision is.
- 00:22:37.952 --> 00:22:39.120
- It's always going to be bigger than you.
- 00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:41.089
- If it wasn't bigger than you, it didn't come from god.
- 00:22:41.089 --> 00:22:43.391
- But it's holding your hand along the way.
- 00:22:44.225 --> 00:22:46.161
- And i want you to know we are praying over you guys
- 00:22:46.161 --> 00:22:49.230
- What you were doing for these ladies,
- 00:22:49.230 --> 00:22:51.566
- How you're supplying their needs
- 00:22:51.566 --> 00:22:54.169
- And protecting these children.
- 00:22:54.169 --> 00:22:56.638
- And so today, from our senate church, we're going to give you
- 00:22:56.638 --> 00:22:58.740
- A check of $25,000

- Reason i even bring it up tonight
- 00:26:04.425 --> 00:26:07.362
- Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
- 00:26:07.362 --> 00:26:12.100
- The gospel message is all about
- 00:26:12.100 --> 00:26:15.069

- 00:26:15.069 --> 00:26:19.340
- Who inform your methods of getting to know the man.
- 00:26:19.340 --> 00:26:52.540
- That this job doesn't work out for me.
- 00:26:53.374 --> 00:26:55.810

- What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
- 00:27:02.450 --> 00:27:05.353
- But i would rather move by faith
- 00:27:05.353 --> 00:27:07.188
- And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
- 00:27:07.188 --> 00:27:11.059

- 00:27:11.059 --> 00:27:43.658
