Use It Or Lose It

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 19, 2017

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.

Matthew 25:14-30 Use It or Lose It Today’s parable is a story about investments. Sometimes we think it’s about using our natural abilities to serve God. Why do we think that? Because the story uses the word “talent” throughout. Our English word “talent” actually comes from that interpretation of ...read more

The Power Of Faith

Contributed by James Snyder on Jan 15, 2018

Faith has become just a word we use when thinking of somebody who is religious. Their faith is rooted in their religion. ...read more
