Summary:

In this eye-opening episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, Pastor Earl Wallace walks us through Luke 19:11 –27 and the parable of the ten minas. As Jesus draws near to Jerusalem, He shares a story to clarify that His kingdom isn’t an earthly, political takeover—but a spiritual mission that His followers must steward faithfully while He is away.

Jesus is the nobleman in the parable, going to receive His kingdom in heaven before returning to rule on earth. In the meantime, He calls His disciples to "occupy until I come."

Pastor Wallace explains that the resources each servant receives represent the gifts, talents, and influence we are given to advance God’s kingdom. Those who use them wisely are rewarded with leadership and responsibility.

But the story also highlights the rejection Christ faces—both then and now—from those who don’t want Him to reign. Still, the faithful are called to work diligently and biblically, even in a hostile world. This episode is a bold reminder that Jesus’ kingdom is “in but not of” this world—and that we must live with eternal purpose as we lift others up in liberty.

5 Key Points:

• Christ’s Kingdom Is Spiritual and Future-Focused: Jesus tells the parable to correct expectations that His rule would be immediate and political.
• The Nobleman Represents Christ: He goes to receive a kingdom and return—just as Jesus will return to establish His rule.
• Stewardship Is Required: Each servant is given resources to manage for the King’s glory, symbolizing our responsibility in His absence.
• Faithful Servants Are Rewarded: Those who multiply what they’re given will be given authority in Christ’s future kingdom.
• The World Rejects Christ’s Rule: Yet faithful believers must still carry out His work in His way, even when the culture opposes them.

Why You Should Listen:

If you’ve ever wondered what you’re supposed to do while waiting for Christ’s return, this episode lays it out clearly. Pastor Earl explains the purpose of stewardship, the danger of passivity, and how to live boldly and biblically in a world that often pushes back against God’s truth.

Why This Episode Matters:

In today’s world, where God’s authority is often ignored or rejected, Christians must remember their call to be faithful stewards of what Christ has entrusted to them. This episode gives practical and spiritual clarity to what it means to "occupy until He comes"—living with purpose and standing for truth no matter the cost.
