Understanding that faithfulness in small assignments prepares people for greater trust.
Teaching Emphasis

Expository Teaching
Jesus teaches that faithfulness in what is least is connected to faithfulness in much.
The servants in the Parable of the Talents were evaluated according to what they did with what was entrusted to them.
CrossCamp's foundational season is itself a test of stewardship: time, relationships, money, gifts, opportunities and assignments.
