Occupy Till I Come | Luke 19:11-27 | Pastor John Miller

What are you doing with the "pounds" God has entrusted to you? In this verse-by-verse study of Luke 19:11-27, Pastor John Miller explains the vital importance of being a faithful steward during the "Great Gap" between the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. As Jesus drew near to Jerusalem, many believed the Kingdom of God would appear immediately. Through the Parable of the Pounds (Minas), Jesus corrects this misconception, revealing that His servants must "occupy"—or do the Lord's business—until He returns in glory. This message is a wake-up call to move past a fearful, "buried" faith and into a life of productive service for the King. Key Study Points in Luke 19:11-27: - The Setting (v. 11): Why the disciples misunderstood the timing of the Kingdom. - Departure and Rejection (vv. 12-14): A historical parallel to Archelaus and a spiritual parallel to Christ's Ascension. - The Day of Reckoning (vv. 15-26): Understanding the rewards for faithfulness and the loss for the slothful. - The King's Judgment (v. 27): The righteous judgment of the King upon His enemies. 📺 WATCH THE FULL SERIES: Catch up on the entire verse-by-verse study through the Gospel of Luke here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP9sIJpVEMLKl-Yf93BLg8t9b8KOGIAmC 🕒 Video Timestamps: 00:00 – Why the Kingdom Did Not Immediately Appear 03:55 – Two Advents: The Gap Between the Cross and the Crown 05:01 – Historical Context: The Story of Archelaus 08:11 – The Ascension and the Promise of Acts 1:8 11:34 – The Nobleman’s Departure: Christ's Ascension 12:52 – What it Means to "Occupy Till I Come" 15:07 – Why We Aren't Living in the Millennium Yet 17:36 – The Day of Reckoning: Stewardship and the Bema Seat 22:02 – The Biblical Principle of Increase 24:23 – The Third Servant: Disobedience and Excuses 28:03 – The Danger of a False View of God 33:21 – Luke 19:27: Final Judgment on the King’s Enemies 36:26 – The Last Adam: Christ Conquering Where Adam Failed 38:50 – Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant ⛪️ Connect with Revival Christian Fellowship We are a church located in Menifee, CA, dedicated to the expository, verse-by-verse teaching of God's Word.
