Well Done, My Good and Faithful Servant: Living Beyond Just Trying

This sermon challenges believers to move beyond merely "trying" to live for God and instead to wholeheartedly serve Him with everything they have. Drawing from the Parable of the Talents and the life of Daniel, Pastor Jolie emphasizes that God has given each person unique gifts, talents, and experiences—and He expects faithful stewardship of these resources. The sermon confronts the tendency to put on different faces in different settings and calls for authentic, consistent Christian living. It reminds the congregation that trials and opposition will come to those who are faithful, but God remains faithful to those who trust Him completely. The ultimate goal is to hear God say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant" rather than "I can tell you tried." The message concludes with a call to surrender completely to Christ, acknowledging that good works don't save us, but genuine faith produces faithful living.
