What has God entrusted to you, and what are you doing with it? In Matthew 25:14–30, Jesus tells a parable about servants entrusted with their master’s resources. Some put what they received to work, while another buried what he had been given. When the master returned, the difference wasn’t how much each servant received, but whether they were faithful with it. God has given each of us opportunities to serve Him, bless others, and advance the gospel. We can use our time, abilities, relationships, resources, and even overlooked opportunities for His purposes. As we continue our For Generations to Come series, we’ll consider what it means to be faithful stewards of all God has entrusted to us—and how our faithfulness today can help ensure the hope of the gospel continues to spread for generations to come.

From Series: "For Generations to Come"

This is an exciting season in the life of FCCO! This fall, we’re launching For Generations to Come—a capital campaign designed to create physical spaces where ministry can flourish, lives can be changed, and people can grow as followers of Jesus for years to come. Psalm 78:4, 6 captures the heart behind this vision: “We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done… so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.” For generations, faithful people have prayed, served, sacrificed, and given so that we could experience the ministry we enjoy at FCCO today. Now it’s our turn. We’ll explore how each of us can be part of what God is doing—not simply by building for today, but by investing in people we may never meet. Join us each Sunday this fall as we discover how our giving, serving, sharing, hope, and priorities can leave a legacy of faith For Generations to Come.
