Too Stubborn to Quit

In this powerful exploration of faithfulness and maximizing our God-given talents, we encounter Luke 16:10's timeless truth: 'Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.' Through the inspiring story of David Eckstein—a player who stood only 5'6" with zero scholarship offers—we witness what happens when stubborn determination meets divine purpose. Eckstein didn't wait for recognition; he walked on at the University of Florida, faced rejection, kept showing up, and eventually became a World Series MVP. His journey reminds us that God isn't looking for the most talented or the biggest; He's looking for those who will faithfully steward what they've been given. Whether we're stuck on the bench, handling responsibilities no one notices, or feeling overlooked in our gifts, this message challenges us to treat every small opportunity as sacred. God sees our faithfulness in the hidden places, and when we honor Him with excellence in the little things, He prepares us for greater assignments. The question isn't whether we have the most talent—it's whether we're maximizing what we've been entrusted with.
