📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Luke 12:35-48
35 “Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning,36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?”42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.44 Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.45 But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, 46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. 47 And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. 48 But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.

| 0:15.0 | This morning I'm going to turn our attention to a circumstance that we all face in life |
| 0:20.4 | not just periodically but quite frequently and that is the awareness that we come to |
| 0:27.7 | about some kind of failing or character flaw in our own personality or our own way of interacting with the world. |
| 0:37.0 | You know what I'm talking about? Things like a quick temper or a bent toward irritation, getting testy with our kids, flying off the handle, you know, those kinds |
| 0:51.7 | of things and those are all kind of negative |
| 0:54.0 | oriented things centered around something like anger but that's not all it could be. It could also |
| 0:59.3 | be an insecurity. It could be a constant nagging sort of guilt that you feel. |
| 1:05.0 | And I want us to think about those in perhaps what will be a new light to you. |
| 1:12.0 | And that's the light of stewardship. You as a believer in |
| 1:17.8 | Christ as a follower of Jesus Christ are his steward. If you remember in the Gospels there are all kinds of |
| 1:25.4 | parables about masters and their servants and sometimes those servants are |
| 1:31.4 | referred to as stewards. |
| 1:33.0 | And in some of those instances, I'll just recount one of the parables for you, |
| 1:37.0 | a master goes away on a trip and he leaves his steward in charge of his things until he returns. And we're told in the various |
| 1:46.0 | parables different ways that those stewards respond. And those are |
| 1:51.2 | parables are a picture of our relationship to Jesus Christ. |
| 1:55.7 | We are here on the earth as his ambassador, to show him to others, to demonstrate what he is like, to represent him to a lost in dying world who |
| 2:06.2 | desperately needs him. And our stewardship of that calling and of that role includes the stewardship of this |
| 2:15.8 | thing he's given us called life and called us, us, me, who I am. |
