The kingdom needs you: the talents pt 2.
Matthew 25:14-30; Genesis 2:15
Returning to Jesus' parable of the talents, we consider how this story relates to all areas of our lives other than money.
We have all been variously gifted by God - not just in respect of our abilities or talents, but also with regards to our history, our personality, our relationships, our experiences, all of what makes us, us. As co-collaborators with God in building his kingdom, we're called not to sit on all that we've been given, but to invest it. We're called to use it for the good of people, and the glory of God. If we don't, we're in danger of losing it.
But if we do, God promises to give us even more. And when we do, we get to delight in all the ways our investments make our world an even more wonderful place.
