Living for Eternal Reward: Week 1 Faithful with What He Gave You

Before we can talk about using the gifts God has put in our hands, we have to talk about giving Him us first. In this kick-off episode of our series, Living for Eternal Reward, we are diving into what it truly means to offer our lives as a living sacrifice. Using Romans 12 and the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19, we’ll explore how true stewardship starts with total surrender, not a checklist of chores. We will talk about: Why you can't steward what you haven't actually surrendered. How God has given you a custom-fit assignment and a unique spiritual gift. The danger of playing it safe and keeping our gifts "wrapped in a cloth." The immediate, quiet joy of obedience right now, and the sweet promise of hearing "well done" in the future. Stop comparing your gift to what anyone else got handed. Look down at what is already in your hands, offer it back to Him, and step out in faith. Scriptures referenced in this episode: Romans 12:1–2 & 6–8; Luke 19:12–26; Matthew 25:21
