Opportunity Awaits

Apr 21, 2024    Pastor David Anglin

Imagine you were given the opportunity of a lifetime. Someone gave you the resources to do something great in your personal life or career. Would you find this opportunity thrilling or paralyzing? Would you have a sense of fear or be invigorated with excitement? 


In Luke 19:11-27, Jesus tells a parable of a nobleman who goes away to be appointed as a king. Before departing, he gives 10 of his servants 4 months' salary to use to operate and expand their business. Some embrace the opportunity, some are fearful of failing, and some are in opposition to the thought of this nobleman being their king at all. 


Jesus presented to His followers the reality that will soon await them. Additionally, He promised that He would return and expect His followers to have expanded and multiplied what they have been given.


How prepared are you to give an account of what you have been entrusted with?
