| 0:00.0 | Jesus Jesus has entrusted the message of the gospel with every believer, |
| 0:29.2 | and he's given each of us unique gifts as well. |
| 0:32.5 | The scriptures teach that we are to use our gifts to make the most of every opportunity we have to share the gospel |
| 0:37.9 | with others. Now, with that said, today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg, cautions the overzealous |
| 0:44.4 | Christian activist. He's looking at Luke chapter 19, and we're beginning with verse 11. |
| 1:07.1 | The man whose abundance is so plainly obvious is displaying to the world that what he has is as a result of him investing that which he's been given. |

| 2:13.4 | It's not that everybody's in for the same, and we're all getting the same deal. |
| 2:17.7 | No, we're not. |
| 2:18.7 | Nobody in eternity will be disappointed with what they get, but everyone in eternity will not get the same. |
| 2:26.0 | And some will reach heaven as through the flames. |
