As Jesus made His way to Jerusalem, He told an unusual story about a man who journeyed to receive for himself a kingdom. While he was away, he left his servants in charge of his affairs. But the man’s servants didn’t want their master as king, so some of the servants were not good stewards of their master’s resources. Join us for part two of Tipping Point, where we will see how our use of time and treasure reflects the king we’ve chosen to serve.
