#FaithfulnessOverComparison
“the accountability question is what did you do with what I gave you? What did you do with what I gave you? Remember his instructions? His instructions were to invest it. So what did you do with what I gave you? One servant took one and made 10. Another one took one and made five. Both were rewarded for their faithfulness. First receives 10 cities. Second, five cities. And the emphasis here is that, you you better... It's not... You better produce more than the next guy. Okay? That's not the emphasis here. The emphasis here is that be faithful with whatever is before you, and your faithfulness will be recorded... Excuse me, rewarded according to your own faithfulness, what you did with what you've been given.”

#FaithOverFear
“He he says, I I was afraid. What was he doing? He was protecting it. The problem was the master didn't tell him to protect it. The master commanded him to invest it. Fear was driving him. And when fear drives us, fear always causes us to circle up. When faith drives us, faith always causes us to invest. There's always a little risk involved with with the investment.”

#FaithfulStewardship
“But with everything that that we steward, It it it... It's not that we go into protection mode, that we go into faithfulness mode. It says, Lord, how can I be faithful with what you've given me? The tragedy of the third servant is that he did nothing with what he had been given. The theological truth in this passage is that the king entrusts resources and opportunities to his servants and expects faithful action while we await his return. Are you being faithful with the opportunities that have been placed in your hands?”

#GodInTheEquation
“In the story, his planning's not wrong. His his his saving isn't wrong. Even building the barn isn't necessarily wrong. Where where he went wrong is he left god out of the equation. God was never in the conversation. It was all about him and building his kingdom. My son and I were talking about this passage recently, and he goes, dad, how do you know if you're building your kingdom or god's kingdom? I was like, that's a good question. The king of the kingdom always gets the most glory.”

#EntrustedNotEntitled
“Now we can make fun of megachurch pastors all day long, but let's just point to your life. Every one of us, you're probably gonna win one of these days. You're gonna have blessing. You're gonna have victory. And the question is, will you respond with an entrusted or an entitled heart? There's freedom in living knowing, god, you've entrusted me with this. And, god, with joy, I steward this for you. That's stewardship.”

“As a parent, have you ever watched the road Waiting for your kids, just watching the road. Lord, bring them bring them home, please. Maybe it's a letter, maybe it's a text, an email, a face appears on the door and you just wait. So what do you give the perfect father for Father's Day? Who literally has everything. That road in the kingdom of God is just a step. Nowhere in the bible do you see the Godhead doing anything other than moving, like in Genesis, the holy spirit, or walking like we saw Jesus walk. But right here, we see God in the prodigal son, he runs. That road is just a step. question this morning for you to ask the holy spirit because he's here, what's my step? And then take it. It's a perfect Father's Day gift.”

“You can trust him. See, one of the questions that we've been asking over this two year discipleship journey is this is is that if God is first and best, is God first and best in our life or is there areas of our life that are not yet fully surrendered to Him? One of the reasons why we don't surrender everything to God is because we don't deep down believe that we can trust him. You can trust him. He is a really good father. He not only loves you, but he enjoys you.”

“And as I dug into Scripture, here's what I found. God the Father doesn't just love His children, He enjoys them. God the Father doesn't just love His children, but He enjoys them. Now this concept may be hard for some of you to digest because in your mind, you can't view God that way. You you may in your mind have a default religious mindset. You know, a default religious mindset often views God like this cop in the sky, who's waiting for us to screw up or to break a rule so that He can punish us Or some of us, well, we view God like the disappointed boss, that he has such high expectations that all we can deliver is failure.”

“And in three seventeen, we see a God who is a rejoicing warrior. Now picture that, dads. Picture picture a man, picture a father being a rejoicing warrior. It's like the two are are are intention constantly. It goes on to say, in your midst, this this rejoicing warrior is in your midst. In other words, God is not angry at a distance, but but He's back with His people. It goes on to say He's the mighty one that will save. This is the Hebrew word gabor, which means warrior hero who fights to protect his citizens. Doesn't that sound like a really good father that fights to protect his family?”
