Summary

Harvesting always involves risk—because when you sow something you release control over it, and if the harvest doesn’t come, you lose it. Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about risking your future on the Kingdom of God, and this all comes to a head in this parable Jesus tells in Luke 19.

Sermon Questions

1. I think this parable teaches us three things: What is it exactly that we’ve been given? Secondly...What does God expect of each of us personally? And lastly...What keeps so many from investing for the Master? How do you answer those questions?
2. How are you stewarding the treasure that God has given you?
3. Check your time. Is it being leveraged in kingdom ways?
4. Do you know your spiritual gifts? Are you using your gifts in ways that further God’s agenda and not your own?
5. Answer this question: why did God give me what he gave me?
