Pastor Matt Ward from Charleston Church preaches today about encouragement and its importance for the Church.

'The Wilderness Test,' where we delve into how God uses challenging periods in our lives to humble us, test our character, and teach us obedience. Inspired by Deuteronomy 8:1-2 and Proverbs 17:3, we explore the Israelites' 40-year journey through the desert and its relevance to our spiritual journeys today.

Today, we dive into the powerful parable found in Matthew 25:23, exploring the profound importance of being faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. Whether our responsibilities seem small or significant, our faithfulness in these areas prepares us for greater blessings and opportunities.

🔑 Key Scriptures:

• Matthew 25:23: "His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’"
• Romans 12:1: "Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship."
• Ephesians 5:15-17: "Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise—making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is."
