A talent was not really a coin at all but rather an ingot, weighing around 75 pounds. At that weight ...read more

    Jesus' parable of the talents is a call to us to invest all that we are and all that we have in God's kingdom building work. The story reminds us not to compare, but to faithfully invest what we have, and to get to know the Master's heart.

Because the story uses the word “talent” throughout. Our English word “talent” actually comes from that interpretation of ...read more

    Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more
