Small Faithfullness and the Long Game

In Luke 16:1–13, Jesus tells a parable that feels uncomfortable at first. A dishonest manager is praised—not for his character, but for recognizing that the future was coming and acting accordingly. The story presses a deeper question: what do our daily decisions reveal about who we actually serve? In the long game of the kingdom, faithfulness is not built in dramatic moments but in small loyalties repeated over time. Join us as Terry explores how stewardship, integrity, and trust quietly shape the direction of a life—and why the little things matter far more than we usually think.

Series Information

Lent through Pentecost traces the long road of Jesus toward Jerusalem — toward suffering, surrender, resurrection, and ultimately the sending of the Spirit. Again and again, the disciples misunderstand the path. They expect quick victory, visible power, and immediate clarity. Instead, Jesus keeps leading them deeper into a Kingdom that moves differently than the world expects. In this series, Terry walks us through the slower rhythms of faith — waiting instead of rushing, trusting instead of controlling, and discovering, often later than we expected, that resurrection was already moving beneath the surface. From ashes to fire, from wilderness to empty tomb, from fear to witness, The Long Game invites us to follow Jesus not merely toward Easter morning, but toward the kind of life that can only be formed over time.
