Big Blessing – Big Responsibility

We have been seeing God do great things at the Bridge this summer. Heading into the fall, I am full of anticipation. However, I am also challenged with Scripture about what God expects from those in church leadership.

From Luke 12:42-43 and 48…

The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns.

From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

Jesus is speaking to Peter, the future leader of his church. And his words are a challenge to us as church leaders today – that God will expect us to be “faithful and wise managers” that are ”in charge of his servants”. We will be held accountable for how we applied the abundant blessings God has lavished upon us.

Let us live and serve with urgency and dedication to the Gospel.
