    This expository sermon, written for a special Scout Sunday service attended by a troop of local Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, encourages Scouts (and Christians) to do their best in service of Jesus so they will hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

    Do Your Best: Scout Sunday Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 2/3/2012 Most of you are probably familiar with the Boy Scout motto—always be prepared. You might not be as familiar with the Cub Scout motto though, which is—do your best! That’s not just good ...read more

    God expects us to use the resources He has entrusted to us. From the parable of the talents.

    Joke - A wealthy man was on his deathbed. He called his 3 most trusted friends to his side: his attorney, his doctor, and his preacher. He said to them, “I know I’m not long for this world, and all I have to show for it is money. They always say you can’t take it with you. ...read more

    The Gifts Of God: Use Them Or Lose Them

    On Judgment Day, we will be called on to give a personal report to God. That report will be based on the choices we make here and now. We can make any changes we want to here and now. It will be too late to make them when we stand before God.

    Have you ever been afraid to use your gifts, talents or skills? Have you ever thought that your skills and talents were not appreciated by other people? If the answer to either one or both of these questions is “yes”, then you can probably sympathize with the third slave on the Parable ...read more

    What you think you know about spiritual gifts, is probably wrong, in ways that actually inhibit ministry rather than encouraging it.

    This morning I would like us to think about spiritual gifts: skills and abilities given by God the Holy Spirit to followers of Christ for the purpose of ministry. And my hypothesis is that what you probably believe about spiritual gifts is wrong. Wrong in a way that’s diminishing your joy in ...read more

    Each servant was motivated to serve in their own way because of their perception of their master and was rewarded accordingly. What can we learn about our relationship with God from this parable?

    This sermon was preached by our Family Minister, Scott Jewell, as a part of our Youth Sunday. It was preceded by a series of short skits that portrayed a modernized version of the Parable of Talents. The compiled video of the skits can be found at the following link: ...read more

    The rubric that our Lord Jesus will use at His judgment seat to determine our rewards can be divided into three categories: positive, negative, and special.

    The Rubric for Rewards: What Is Jesus Looking For? (Matthew 25:14-30) 1. What is a rubric? The word has quite a few different definitions, actually. You might look it up. Webster lists the definition I am using as the fourth: “a guide listing specific criteria for grading or scoring academic ...read more

    How we use our gifts are more important than their monetary value. It isn't the size of the gift, it's the motive in the giving!

    Not Our Talents BUT Our Use of Talents Matthew 25:14-30 This parable provides us with a message that can be and often is misunderstood. The talents referred to in the parable are monetary units. A talent was not really a coin at all but rather an ingot, weighing around 75 pounds. At that weight ...read more

    The Parable of the Talents is a reminder that God calls each one of us to ministry and you will have to give an account one day of what God has gifted you to do. The more you exercise your talents the greater your blessing will be.

We flew into Vancouver and our friends Pete and Nina came down by car and drove us up to Prince George It was a three day drive.

    Whether you are a sun, moon, star, or a 5 talent, 2 talent, or 1 talent person, a lamp or a candle on a stand, you are important. You have a job to do that only you can do. And God expects you to let your light shine.
