Entrusting: Part I

This is the goal... to entrust as God entrust's me. What is entrusting?

Entrust (verb):

• To give over (something) to another for care, protection, or performance.
• To give as a trust to (someone).
• To charge or invest with a trust or responsibility; charge with a specified office or duty involving trust.
• To commit (something) in trust to; confide, as for care, use, or performance.

360 Billion Dollar Check!

Man Tries to Cash a Check!

Police said Charles Ray Fuller, 21, tried to cash the check at a Chase Bank, but the teller did a double take after noticing the check was for $360 billion. The check was made out to "Fulla Comp and Entertainment," the record company Fuller wanted to start, NBC 5 reported.

Police said Fuller stole the check from Paula Prettyman, the mother of Fuller's girlfriend, Andrea Greer.

"I wouldn't picture him doing something that stupid, I mean, hurting me and my family," Greer said.

Greer and her family said they don't know what Fuller was thinking.

"I didn't think he'd do this, something this dumb. I think it shocked everybody that knew him," Greer said.

Her grandmother Sharon Laird agreed.

"I said, 'Do what? Is he crazy? We were just in awe," she said.

Laird said if her family had $360 billion, "I wouldn't be sitting here. I'd be somewhere drinking margaritas."

Authorities said Fuller also had a gun and marijuana in his possession at the time of his arrest.

Complete Trust

Overview of Part One:

• Mistrusting
• Trusting (We learn to Trust)
• We are Entrusted

We Have Been Entrusted

• Entrusted with God’s Word (Rom 3:2)
• Entrusted with a measure of Faith (Rom 12:3)
• We will not be tempted beyond our Faith (1 Cor 10:13)
• Entrusted with the secrets of God (1 Cor 4:1)
• Entrusted with God’s Kingdom (Matt 25:14)

Luke 6:12-16
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:

Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Jesus Trusted 12 Men:

• John, Peter and Andrew Fishermen (uneducated)
• Matthew the Tax Collector (A Robber)
• Simon the Zealot (Assassin)
• Saul the Pharisee (Murderer of Christians)
• Unschooled and Ordinary men.

Facts of the 12!

• No indication of maturity, character or obedience.
• Broken promises (I will never leave you)
• Major Setbacks (Peter, Judas)
• Lacked Faith
• Found greater faith in Gentiles (Centurion and Samaritan)
• Three Years of teaching with no results.

This is part of the sermon given this last Sunday. The above website, when it is completed, will hopefully have mp3 files available to download and listen, or at least some audio. Please don't hold me to it, though, I am just speculating.
I am going to check out the scriptures tomorrow. Johnny Out.
