Making Use of What You’ve Been Given

Pastor Roy shares a sermon, based on Luke 19:11-27, emphasizing the responsibility believers have in using the gifts God has entrusted to them. Divine gifts are given with a purpose, and faithful stewardship leads to eternal reward, while neglect or inaction results in judgement. Scripture calls for active faithfulness, resourcefulness, and the importance of using one’s gifts to honor God, with a reminder that we will be held accountable for how we live out our mission.
