Matthew 25:14-30
Multiply What God Has Given You!
Welcome, Faith Force Talent Multipliers! Today, we’re learning about faithfully growing what we’re entrusted with, as shared in Matthew 25:14-30.
Verse Of The Day:
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'" (Matthew 25:21)
Have you ever received something and wondered what to do with it? Jesus tells a story about servants given different amounts of money called talents!
In the parable, one servant received five talents, another two, and another one – each according to their ability. The five-talent servant invested and doubled it to ten! The two-talent servant also doubled his to four! Both received the same amazing praise: “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
But the one-talent servant buried his out of fear and returned only what he was given. The master was disappointed! The lesson is powerful: God gives each of us different gifts, abilities, time, and resources. He doesn’t expect everyone to have the same amount, but He does expect everyone to faithfully use and multiply what they’ve been given! Don’t bury your talents out of fear – invest them for God’s kingdom!
Talent Multiplication Tracker:
Use play money or coins to create your tracker. Label one pile “What God Gave Me” (gifts, abilities, time) and another pile “How I’m Multiplying It.” Track weekly how you’re using your talents to grow them – practicing skills, helping others, learning more. Watch your “investment” grow!
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for the unique talents, abilities, and resources You've given me! Help me be a faithful servant who multiplies what I'm given instead of burying it out of fear. Help me hear "Well done, good and faithful servant!" one day. Show me how to invest my talents for Your kingdom! Amen.
Keep multiplying your God-given talents, Faith Force Talent Multipliers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember to faithfully use and grow what you’ve been given!
