Nothing meaningful happens suddenly.

It happens gradually… then suddenly.

In this message from our Gradually Then Suddenly series, we unpack one of Jesus’ most challenging parables in Matthew 25 and ask a sobering but hopeful question:

What has God already trusted you with and what are you doing with it?

We talk about stewardship in real life terms.

Not just money, but time, talent, influence, opportunity, and even the dreams you carry in your heart.

This teaching challenges the belief that we’re waiting on God, and instead flips the script to reveal that God may be waiting on us to steward what’s already in our hands. From ambition and career dreams to God-sized burdens that break your heart for broken people, this message explores how dreams become more than fantasies when we take the next right step.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between where you are and where you believe God is leading you…

If you’ve ever wondered whether your dream is from God or just a good idea…

If you’re tired of burying what you were meant to build…

This message is for you.

Key themes include:

• Gradually then suddenly and how God forms us over time

• The parable of the talents and what stewardship really means

• How to discern a God dream from personal ambition

• Why what breaks your heart may reveal your purpose

• Taking the next right step instead of waiting for someday

📖 Scriptures referenced include Matthew 25, Colossians 3:23, Proverbs 21:5, Habakkuk 2:2, John 20:21, and 2 Corinthians 5.

Lean in. Listen deeply. And don’t bury what God has entrusted to you.
