Ep. 49: What Are You Doing With What God Gave You?
Description
Summary:
In this compelling episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, Pastor Earl Wallace explores what it means to live as citizens of Christ’s kingdom while residing in a world that often resists His reign. Drawing from Luke 19:11 –27 and Matthew 25:14 –30, Pastor Wallace examines two parables that highlight our responsibility as believers to be faithful stewards of the gifts and opportunities God has given us.
Both parables reveal a consistent message: God has entrusted His people with resources—not to be buried in fear or self-preservation, but to be multiplied for His glory. The faithful servants are praised and rewarded, while the fearful and inactive ones face harsh consequences. Pastor Wallace reminds us that God expects action, faith, and courage—not fear and excuses. As members of Christ’s kingdom, we are called to live "in but not of" this world—bringing heaven’s values into our earthly mission.
5 Key Points:
- We Are Kingdom Citizens on Earth: Christ’s followers live in this world, but our true allegiance is to His eternal kingdom.
- God Entrusts Us With Gifts to Multiply: Each believer is given talents, resources, and influence to be used for kingdom purposes.
- Fear Is the Enemy of Faithful Stewardship: The parables show how fear causes paralysis—and God does not reward inactivity.
- Faithfulness Leads to Increase: Jesus teaches that those who are faithful with little will be given more responsibility and reward.
- Judgment Comes to the Unfaithful: Both parables warn of serious consequences for those who waste what God has entrusted to them.
Why You Should Listen:
If you’ve ever felt unsure about what God expects from you in today’s complicated world, this episode gives a clear, biblical roadmap. It’s a powerful encouragement to reject fear, embrace faith, and use what God has placed in your hands to impact this world for His kingdom.
Why This Episode Matters:
Too many believers are burying their gifts out of fear or confusion. But Jesus taught us to be courageous, proactive stewards. This episode calls us back to our mission—to serve Christ with excellence, boldness, and purpose, so we can be lifted up in liberty and help others do the same.
