HEAR THE WORD Luke 19:11-27 I. The Parable II. The Point: Be Busy with the Lord's Until He Returns 1) Our Business: "Although speaking the word of God is a unique and spiritual activity, it is like other human speech in this sense: when something is really important to us, we can’t help but speak about it to the people we love. This is essentially why we don’t speak the word of God more to the people around us. We don’t value the word enough, and we don’t love people enough. It’s a heart problem—our hearts are not sufficiently fired by the wonder of God’s mercies and the majesty of Jesus Christ; and our hearts are not sufficiently full of love and compassion for those around us." - Colin Marshall 2) Which Character Are You? 1 - The ? 2 - The ? 3 - The ?
