Podcasts about entrusted

Pastor James continues our series, Entrusted, walking through the book of 2 Timothy. This week we looked at 2 Timothy 2:20-26 and saw that as we entrust the Gospel to others, God deeply cares about our character.

The Lord challenges to recognize our blessings and live them with conviction. (Lectionary #475) October 22, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

In session seven of Entrusted, false teachers opposed marriage and instructed their followers to abstain from certain foods. These deceptive doctrines led people away from the truth found in Scripture that Jesus came to fulfill the Law and through Him all things are declared clean.Verses Used:1 Timothy 4:3-7Genesis 1:27Proverbs 12:4Proverbs 18:22Hebrews 13:4Romans 10:3-4Ephesians 2:15Discussion Questions:1. What false doctrines were being taught in 1 Timothy 4:1-7? What are modern day examples of restrictions people try to impose on others in the name of God? Why is this so harmful?2. Have you ever found yourself believing something that later turned out to be contrary to Scripture? What helped you recognize the truth and realign your perspective?3. How can you ensure you are trusting in sound doctrine? ( See 1 Timothy 4:6, Hebrews 5:14)4. How does Paul address personal convictions regarding food and drink in Romans 14:14-21 and Romans 14:2- 4? How does this freedom in Christ apply today? 5. Why do we tend to judge others based on our personal preferences?

Pastor James continues our series, Entrusted, walking through the book of 2 Timothy. This week we looked at 2 Timothy 2:14-19 and saw that we must rightly handle the truth of the Gospel.

In the final week of our Entrusted series, we see how the unfaithful servant wasted what was given to him out of fear and complacency, missing the purpose his master intended. Jesus warns us through this parable that fear can paralyze our faith, and wasted potential is still disobedience. Yet, when we courageously use what God has entrusted to us—our time, gifts, and opportunities—faithfulness leads to joy and fruit that outlives us. This week challenges us to live not for “well liked,” but for “well done, good and faithful servant.”

Pastor Justyn continues our series, Entrusted, walking through the book of 2 Timothy. This week we looked at 2 Timothy 2:1-13 saw that devotion to the mission of Christ is costly — but it's worth it.

Luke 12:42–48. Pastor Roman Gutierrez preaches a direct call to Gen Z and young couples: God has entrusted you with the gospel, time, purity, resources, and influence. Steward them for souls. Refuse self-worship and materialism. Choose faithfulness, generosity, and mission. Send workers. Triple down on evangelism while hearts are open. “To whom much is given, much will be required.”Scriptures referenced: Luke 12:42–48; Mark 16:15–16; Ecclesiastes 12:1; Proverbs 11:24–28; Haggai 1:4–8; Luke 12:13–21; Proverbs 21:20.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast⁠: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/⁠• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify⁠: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• ⁠Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts⁠: https://apple.co/3vy1s5b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters00:00 Gratitude and Reflection on Faithfulness01:24 The Power of Living Waters04:32 Understanding Mindsets: Western vs Eastern07:26 The Purpose of Salvation and Generosity10:28 The Call to Action: Empowering the Community13:33 Entrusted with Much: A Message to the Youth15:05 Living According to His Will28:06 The Heart of Generosity and Responsibility33:55 The Pursuit of Wealth and Its Consequences36:49 The Dangers of Materialism39:14 Squandering Opportunities and Wealth43:54 Responsibility of the Younger Generation49:44 Faithfulness and Stewardship54:34 A Call to Action for the Next GenerationShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

In session six of Entrusted,  we learn about the importance of serving and how it is central to our calling as followers of Christ. To follow Him is to serve Him. When we serve others, we bring glory to God and reflect His love in action. Verses Used:1 Timothy 3:8-16Acts 6:1-41 Corinthians 3:5-9Ephesians 6: 6 & 7John 12:26Discussion Questions:What are the requirements listed for a deacon in 1 Timothy 3:8-12? Why are these important? What is the impact on the church if those in leadership don't possess these qualities?What things do we see deacons (also translated as servants or ministers) do in Scripture? (See Colossians 1:25-29, 1 Corinthians 3:5-9, Ephesians 6:21-22, and Colossians 4:7-9)What are modern-day examples of what roles deacons may fulfill?What does 1 Timothy 3:13 say that deacons receive? How would being a servant in the church grant you great confidence in the faith? What keeps you from serving? Read the verse James 1:22. What does obedience to this verse look like?

In Matthew 25, we’re reminded that the Master will return, and how we steward what God has entrusted to us matters. God celebrates faithfulness, not perfection or results, and invites us to share in His joy through obedience and perseverance. Faithfulness requires action—our quiet, unseen efforts count just as much as the visible ones. Every step of faithful living now prepares us for the eternal reward of hearing, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Sermon for the Midweek of Pentecost XVII Wednesday, 8 October A+D 2025 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch

In Session Five of Entrusted, we explore the qualifications for the role of elder (overseer) within the church. This list includes essential qualities such as being above reproach, faithful in relationships, self-controlled, hospitable, gentle, and spiritually mature. Each of us is called to respect and support our elders. As we do, we not only honor God's design for leadership but the church as a whole thrives spiritually.Verses Used:1 Timothy 3:1Acts 20:281 Timothy 3:2-31 Timothy 3:4-51 Timothy 3:6-7Hebrews 13:171 Thessalonians 5:12-13Discussion Questions:Read the qualifications of an elder in 1 Timothy 3:1-7. Why do you think this is such a long list?What is the impact on the church when it is not led by men of good repute?What impact on the surrounding community does an elder have who meets Biblical qualifications?How does Hebrews 13:17a describe the role of leaders in the church?What does Hebrews 13:17b instruct us to do? What does this mean? How have you seen this done well? How have you seen this done poorly?

Today we will explore how God entrusts each of us with gifts, opportunities, and responsibilities according to our ability, not randomly or unfairly. We learn that faithfulness with what we have—no matter the size—reveals our trust in God and allows His Kingdom to multiply through us. Fear and comparison can keep us from using what God has given, but stepping out in obedience leads to growth, influence, and reward. Ultimately, this parable challenges us to steward our gifts faithfully today, knowing that God sees, equips, and rejoices in our faithful service.

Pastor James continues our series, Entrusted, walking through the book of 2 Timothy. This week we saw that we must guard the Gospel diligently.

Entrusted with the GospelSeries: Lectionary Preacher: Rev. Jeff SimpsonDate: 1st October 2025Passage: 2 Timothy 1:1-14

As Paul addresses order within the church, he outlines specific boundaries for women that are not rooted in competence or experience, but in God's ordained structure of authority. He emphasizes that there is both protection and blessing in embracing our God-given roles, not only within our homes but also in the life of the church. In Session Four of Entrusted, we explore Scripture's instruction for women as they pursue a life marked by godliness.Verses Used:1 Timothy 2:9-101 Peter 3:3-41 Timothy 2:11-15Genesis 2:18 & 21-23Genesis 3:27-28Genesis 3:9Discussion Questions:How does Paul want women to adorn themselves in 1 Timothy 2:9? Why do you think this matters, and how can this verse be applied in present day?What does Paul say should accompany a woman who makes a claim to godliness in 1 Timothy 2:10?As a believer, why are good works important, and what should be the result of our good works? (See Ephesians 2:10 and Matthew 5:14-16?Why does Paul say he does not allow a woman to exercise authority over a man, and to what contexts does this statement apply?What are possible interpretations of 1 Timothy 2:15 where it says, “women will be preserved through the bearing of children?” Which do you think is most valid?

Pastor James continues our series, Entrusted, walking through the book of 2 Timothy. This week we saw that we must be unashamed of the Gospel.

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 28 2025 Our bodies are such an important part of our lives in this world, and yet we don't often stop to reflect on what God says about our bodies and what our bodies say about God. Our bodies are designed by God, belong to Him, and are central to His redemptive plan. Though deeply affected by sin—our bodies remain good, and for the Christian our bodies have been purchased by Jesus and are now temples where God dwells. We are called to see our bodies as gifts to be honored, cared for, and used for God's glory and service. Even in suffering, our physical limitations are part of God's good design and refinement. And as Christians we know that while our bodies play a part in our identity, the most important part of our identity is Christ who now dwells in us.

Join us as we explore Jesus’ Parable of the Talents and discover that everything we have—our time, talents, resources, and influence—is entrusted to us by God, not given by accident. Parables reveal and confront, showing us the condition of our hearts and calling us to faithful stewardship in the present as citizens of the Kingdom. We are challenged to live with open hands, investing what God has given us for His purposes, not hiding it out of fear or selfishness. Ultimately, this story reminds us that we are entrusted—on purpose, for a purpose—and that our faithful response impacts eternity.

Through our mediator, Jesus Christ, we have been given direct access to the Father. Because of this incredible privilege, Paul urges us to pray on behalf of all people, including those in positions of authority. Our prayers should not only include petitions, but also praise and thanksgiving for all the Lord has done. Session three of Entrusted challenges us to cultivate hearts that are marked by prayer and praise.Verses Used:1 Timothy 2:1-8Romans 13:1Hebrews 9:15Acts 4:12Colossians 4:2Discussion Questions1. We are called to not only pray, but also engage in thanksgiving. Why do you think thanksgiving is important?2. How much of your prayer life is spent in gratitude? What are things you can be grateful for, regardless of circumstances in your life?3. What does it mean that Jesus is our mediator? Why is this so important to understand?4. What keeps you from praying?5. Why do you think Paul urges us to pray for all people, as well as those who are in authority? How would doing so help us live a tranquil and quiet life?

God has entrusted each of us with more than we realize—our resources, our time, even our words. Everything we hold belongs to Him, and He calls us to manage it faithfully. But what does it mean to steward those things well?

Pastor James begins a new series, Entrusted, walking through the book of 2 Timothy. This week we saw that we have been entrusted with the Gospel in order to pass it on.

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 21 2025 When evil and tragedy happen in this life it can leave us reeling. We may feel confused, angry, fearful, saddened, or even hopeless. We may have all sorts of questions that aren't always easily answered. And we are often left with the question of “How should we respond?” As followers of Jesus, we are to answer that question by going back to the scriptures and remembering the truth of the gospel and how it should shape us. As a church we have an opportunity to respond in a way that shows our true citizenship is in heaven and we are placed in this moment to reflect and point to our One True King – Jesus.

Big Idea: I am NOTHING! The Gospel is EVERYTHING!

[Hebrews 3:14]Dr. Soojin Lee

Lambs Camp

In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4, we are reminded that while life and ministry can be lonely, difficult, and full of opposition, we are never truly alone. Just as the Lord stood with Paul and strengthened him in his final days, He promises to stand with us and lead us safely into His heavenly kingdom. Join us as we close our Entrusted series and discover what it means to finish strong—not in a culture of pretense, but in a culture of grace.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Do you love a good mystery? Countless people enjoy the adventure of trying to figure out who done it. That doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to questions of religion. Being told, "it's a mystery", often feels like a cop out and it's disappointing at best and often leads to a rejection of religion altogether. The Apostle Paul talks about the mystery of the Gospel in his letter to the Ephesians. Fortunately for us, it is a mystery that is solved and becomes a glorious truth. What is the mystery, you ask?

The Church is God's missionary family, empowered by His presence, and entrusted with the Gospel for the spiritual war of advancing the Kingdom of Christ.---We desire to see the Gospel saturate a people, awakening them by the glory of God to treasure Jesus as better.For more Gospel-centered teaching and resources, including audio and video downloads of our sermons, please visit our website: http://www.thewellchurchok.com/resourcesInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/thewellchurchokFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/thewellchurchok

Joel Wood | Sept 14 2025 Relationships are a vital gift from God, reflecting His triune nature and design for human connection. In a world increasingly shaped by technology and artificial interaction, God calls us to prioritize real, face-to-face relationships with others created in His image. Relationships enrich our lives, offering sweetness, strength in trials, and the opportunity to grow in grace as we both give and receive it. They are also a means through which we influence others for Christ, carrying a unique responsibility and voice within our circles. Because of their value, relationships are worth the effort, sacrifice, and intentional care.

Welcome to Entrusted! Paul was entrusted with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he faithfully entrusted that to others, including Timothy. In our opening message, Paul instructs Timothy to beware of strange doctrines that were creeping into the church in Ephesus. By paying attention to the contents of their message, their corrupt character, and the impact their teaching had, strange doctrine was easy to spot. As these false teachers attempt to teach the Law, they misuse it. Instead, Paul exhorts Timothy to use the Law lawfully, according to the glorious gospel of Christ. Join us for session one of Entrusted as we examine how to spot strange doctrines and the intended purpose of the Law.Verses Used:1 Timothy 1:1-31 Timothy 1:3-7Titus 1:10-11Titus 1:13-141 Timothy 1:7-11Romans 3:20Galatians 4:4-5Galatians 3:13 & 241 Corinthians 6:9-11Discussion Questions:1. Have you ever been impacted by false teaching? What was the impact of that on your life?2. How does Paul describe the character of false teachers in 1 Timothy 1:3-7 & Titus 1:10-11?3. What is the effect of strange doctrine/unsound teaching? (See 1 Timothy 1:4-7 & Titus 1:10-11)4. How should we deal with false doctrine and unsound teaching? (See Titus 1:13-14)5. Paul says the Law is good if one uses it lawfully. What does this mean? How have you seen people use the Law "unlawfully?"6. How would you explain the purpose of the Law in your own words? (See Galatians 3:24)

As Paul nears the end of his life, he writes with urgency and clarity—charging Timothy (and us) to fulfill the ministry entrusted to us. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Pastor John walks us through what it means to die a worthy death, live a worthy life, and await a worthy crown. Whether you're running, limping, or crawling, keep going. The race is not over—finish strong.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Kyle Kauffman | Sep 7 2025Psalm 90 reminds us that the God who exists outside of time lovingly orders every season of our lives. Each stage—whether joyful or challenging—is not accidental but divinely purposed. Yet, we often miss the gift of the present by longing for the past or rushing toward the future. This psalm teaches that our time is limited, both in our life as a whole and in each unique season. Whether we're students, young adults, parents, or retirees, we must ask what God wants us to prioritize now, recognizing that every season comes with both opportunities and limitations. The dangers of laziness and over-busyness threaten every stage of life, so we must seek wisdom to live purposefully. As seasons come and go, God calls us to make the most of each one by worshiping him, serving others, doing our work faithfully, and resting in the finished work of Christ.

In a world that increasingly trades truth for comfort, we are reminded of the weight, the work, the war, and the way of faithful gospel ministry. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4:1–5, Pastor John leads us in considering what it means to proclaim and endure sound doctrine in a time of itching ears. This message is a call for pastors to preach with conviction, and for the Church to listen with submission—anchored in the sufficiency of God's Word.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 31 2025 When we think about the idea of stewardship, we often jump immediately to thinking about finances. Money is a big part of our lives and God has a lot to say about money throughout the Bible. Money is a gift from God, given to meet our needs and entrusted to us as a reflection of His generosity. Yet, it is also a test—how we use our money reveals where our hope lies and what we truly worship. The Bible teaches that our financial choices expose the affections of our hearts. But money is more than just a gift or a test; it is also an opportunity—an opportunity to invest temporary resources into eternal purposes. The gospel transforms our view of money, making us a generous people who give not out of obligation, but with joy and sacrifice. In response to God's grace, we are called to give generously, cheerfully, and sacrificially, using what we have for His glory and the good of others.

In a world filled with deceptive currents, it's easy to drift spiritually without even realizing it. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 3:13–17, Pastor John unpacks how we can anchor ourselves in Christ and hold fast to God's Word so we don't get swept away. Discover the importance of discernment, continuing in the gospel you've received, and trusting Scripture to equip you for every good work.Mission Church - www.missionlasvegas.com

Letting God Be Lord Over Your Finances, which Are His but He Entrusted to You, Will Liberate Your Life! MESSAGE SUMMARY:  We are so focused on earning money and other financially driven life activities so that it is easy for money and finances to become our god. Making finances “our god” violates the Second Commandment. If Jesus is Lord over all Creation, as we are told in Psalms 24:1, then: “The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.”; therefore, everything that has been entrusted to you is God's. In James 5:1-3, the author of the Book of James provides insight into someone who does NOT make God the Lord of their finances: “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.”. Therefore, let God Be Lord over your finances, which really are His finances.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

2 Timothy 1: 13-14 (The Treasure Entrusted to Us) Dr. Greg Payne, AEBC 175th Anniversary, 8/24/2025

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 24 2025Psalm 127 reminds us that children are not ultimately ours, but God's—His possession and His gift. They are blessings, not burdens, and the limitations they may bring to our lives are good and purposeful. Parents are called to be the primary shapers of their children's lives, aiming not merely for behavior or success, but for hearts that love and follow Jesus. This shaping involves intentional teaching, consistent modeling, and unconditional love. We are not able to carry out such an important calling apart from God's grace which we need for strength, for transformation, and for our failures. Ultimately, we are called to trust God with our children, continually entrusting them into His sovereign care.

Don't Waste Our OpportunityText: 2 Corinthians 5:10–210. The Reality of the Judgment Seat (v. 10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.Believers' judgment is not for condemnation (Romans 8:1 makes that clear).This judgment is unto reward—the Bema Seat of Christ.Rewards will vary; greater faithfulness in following Christ will result in greater reward.This reality should fuel urgency in how we live and serve now.1. The Fear of the Lord Fuels Our Mission (v. 11)Right View of God – Most people, even believers, lack a healthy, reverent fear of God.RC Sproul: “A healthy, reverent fear of Christ's displeasure at the choices we often make is a healthy corrective.”Fear leads to wise choices – A balanced, reverential fear inspires holiness and accountability.Persuading Others – Not manipulation, but heartfelt appeal to accept the gospel.2. Why We're Here: Making Disciples (v. 11b, Col. 1:28)Our mission: Proclaim Christ, warn, and teach with wisdom.Goal: Present everyone mature in Christ.God knows our motives—half-hearted service is not hidden from Him.3. Avoid Ministry Pride (v. 12)Not about programs or showing off ministry “success.”John MacArthur: False teachers take pride in outward appearance, not sincere hearts.Our focus: advancing Christ's Kingdom, not our image.4. Willing to Be Called Crazy (v. 13–15)Paul was seen as extreme—so will we be if we truly live for Christ.The love of Christ controls us—His death changes everything.True disciples stop living for themselves and live for the One who died and rose again.Until the cross becomes personal, our lives and loyalties won't change.5. A New Way of Seeing (v. 16–17)Salvation is a total transformation—we are new creations.The old is gone; the new has come.New life means new priorities, new purpose, new mission.6. Entrusted with the Message (v. 18–19)We are reconciled to God through Christ.God has given us the ministry of reconciliation—to tell others they can be forgiven.We are message carriers with eternal news.7. Ambassadors for the King (v. 20–21)Ambassador role: We speak on Christ's behalf—eternal stakes are on the line.This is not a casual invitation—it's a divine summons to be reconciled to God.Our mission field is not just overseas—it's across the street.8. Call to ActionStop wasting time on what doesn't matter eternally.Get serious about evangelism and discipleship.Have a big vision for your church—if you don't, who will?

The Lord offers a parable that reveals the sober truth that we are stewards of the gift of our lives, challenging us to engage honesty, gratitude, and the Fruits of the Spirit to direct the unique blessings we have received from God.
