We live in a fast-paced, ever-moving world where everyone seems to be rushing in every direction.

And yet, in scripture, God desires to teach us that walking with him is our greatest and most important adventure.

Join Scott Pauli along this journey as we rediscover the joy of our walk with Christ.

Up to this point in our study, we have been looking at the great journeys of the Bible

in the order that they're found in Scripture. But today, I want to back up just a little bit,

if you'll allow me to do so, in the chronology of the way these journeys are given, to the last

journey that Jesus will make. I want to take a story from Matthew

25 that the Lord Jesus shared with his disciples. You'll understand what I mean in

just a moment. The Bible says beginning in verse 14, for the kingdom of heaven is as a man

traveling into a far country who called his own servants and delivered under them his

goods. And under one, he gave five talents to and delivered under them his goods, and under one he gave

five talents to another two, to another one, to every man according to his several ability,

and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded

with the same and made them other five talents. And likewise, he that had received two, he also gained other two.

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth and hid his Lord's money.

After a long time, the Lord of those servants cometh and reckoneth with them.

Now, we know that the rest of this story is an account of that reckoning,

and that those who used what was put in their hands wisely were rewarded and blessed and the one who hid his lord's money in the earth

was judged in fact what he had received initially was even taken away from him it's a powerful

story about our own personal accountability to God someday, and we'll come back

to that thought in just a moment.

But I want you to see our Lord in this story.
