Develop Your God-given Talents

This sermon examines The Parable of the Talents in very close detail. This is a parable Jesus gave for the benefit of His Disciples and is both encouraging, and a serious warning. We all need reminding that we are on this earth for one important reason… to glorify God in everything. This parable teaches that we are accountable, and responsible to God for the way we use the resources He has given us as individuals. We are expected to be “stewards” and “manage” our gifts for the One who owns us and has given these talents to us for His purpose, to His glory and honor.
