Faithfulness v1-5
Be faithful and God will praise you.
Servants - not general word describing ppl in servitude, but an assistant to someone in official position.
Managers of the gospel, mysteries revealed in Christ.
Apostles, leaders are servant leaders that answer to God.
They were given a role and responsibility and will have to answer to God about how they handled that responsibility.
We/Christians all have a role in the church/kingdom of God.
What will we do with what we have been given?
When He returns will he say well done good and faithful servant or will He rebuke us for wasting our position/talents/time.
Parable of the talents.
What does faithfulness look like?
A radical response to the gospel is the correct response, it’s the definition of true saving faith that the Bible articulates.
1.
What would it look like for you to be faithful to God in your context?
2.
Are you living up to your full potential in Christ, are you using your talents, or burying them?
It’s not loosing that bothers me, but not reaching my full potential.
The greatest shame is not becoming the best version of ourselves, realizing we could have done more with what was given to us.
Don’t let the grace of God terminate on you, radiate that grace to those around you.
Also don’t play the comparison game, but be the best version of you.
You’re capable of so much more than you realize.
God created and called you specifically and promises the empowerment of the Spirit, keep in step!
Humility v6-13
not in it for the circumstances, no promises of worldly prosperity.
First will be last, last will be first.
?
Christ example of headship
“Nothing beyond what is written.”
Cost of discipleship -rich man, you will loose relationships, homes, etc. Gain 100 fold more with persecution.
:35-40
3. What do you expect from your relationship with God in this life?
What expectations do your actions reveal?
(Do you pray, what do you pray for, would anyone other than yourself benefit from the answers to your prayers?)
Power v14-21
Goal not to condemn or shame but to create unity.
Inclusio
Imitate me - apprentice imagery
"Engross yourself in the process rather than waiting around for the product."
-- Greg Everett
Arrogance
“The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.”
Not just words, ideas, beliefs, professions but action that results from a life transformed by the Spirit of God.
Paul preached “that they would repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance.”
