Hey, this is Beth.

Listen, what we live for at Living Proof is to serve people, the Word of God.

We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the Word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God

is going to speak through it. Thank you so much for giving us this privilege. You're on the

planet to contribute every single one of us and to contribute in such a way that it is blessing,

vivid blessing that God brings through us because he's not just looking for spectators. God is looking for co-workers. It does not put us on

equal footing with him. We work underneath him. But it means that we partner in the kingdom work for the invasion of the

kingdom of heaven on the planet while we are here. That is what we will answer for. That is what

we will answer for. That is the band-aid on us. We were created with a craving to contribute.

Listen, that word entrusted.

Did you see it in verse 14?

I try to kind of emphasize it, but, you know, I'm so tiggerish that you couldn't tell

what I was trying to emphasize because I was emphasizing the whole thing.

So let me see if I can take you back to it.

Verse 14, for it, that's the kingdom of heaven,

will be like a man going on a journey who called his servant and entrusted to them.

Everybody say entrusted to them. Entrusted to them his property. So this word is a beautiful,

beautiful word, and it is a word that means to deliver over into the power of, to put in the hands of.

I don't know, just because of the work that the spirit was doing in me this week,

it fell on me afresh, but I hope so much that God will do the same thing, sort of quake this in your heart.

I was amazed again this week that he actually puts his property in our hands.
