Serving While Waiting

Jun 8, 2025    Ken Brown

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the parable of the ten minas from Luke 19. This teaching challenges us to consider how we're using the resources God has entrusted to us while we await Christ's return. The parable draws fascinating parallels with historical events, reminding us that Jesus is the true King who will establish His kingdom. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to see our service to God not as a burden, but as a joyful privilege. The message emphasizes that our motivation should stem from gratitude for God's grace, not fear of judgment. It's a call to live each day with purpose, aligning our priorities with God's and investing our lives in what truly matters for eternity. This parable invites us to examine our hearts: Are we eagerly anticipating Christ's return? Are we using our gifts and resources to advance His kingdom? Let's be inspired to live faithfully, knowing that our loving King will one day welcome us home.
