Presence of God | Luke 19:11-27 Sermon I DR PHILIP KURUVILLA I 23/11/2025

"He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.'" — Luke 19:26 📖 Why did Jesus teach in parables, and what does it mean to truly seek the Kingdom of God? In this insightful Sunday message, we break down the Parable of the 10 Minas from Luke 19:11-27. We explore why Jesus shared this parable—specifically to address the misconception that the Kingdom of God would appear immediately—and unpack the fascinating historical parallels of the era, from Herod the Great to Archelaus' journey to Rome. Discover the distinction between Jesus' first coming in humility (Zechariah 9:9) and the current church age we live in as we await His return. It's time to stir up a spiritual thirst for God's Kingdom and understand what He has entrusted to our hands today. ✨ Subtitles/Captions available!
