February 11 Sermon: Much Given, Much Required

In this week’s message we see the imperative of being prepared for Jesus' return. The parable Jesus tells teaches vigilance and the wise use of spiritual gifts. We also see the contrast of faithfulness with unfaithfulness, and the need to consider the eternal consequences of our actions. Believers are called to serve God's kingdom diligently, as good stewards of what God has blessed us with.

Consider these questions as you listen to this week’s message from Luke 12:35-48:
1. How do the parables of watchful servants and faithful stewards, as described, illustrate the concept of preparedness for Jesus' return?
2. What contrasts between faithfulness and unfaithfulness are highlighted, and what are the consequences of each in the context of Christian belief?
3. How can believers use their spiritual gifts for the kingdom of God, and what is the significance of doing so, according to Jesus' teachings?
