Matthew 25:14-30

God has put talents in my life and he plans to come back expecting me to use them.

If my talents are:
Teaching, then I want to be able to teach and not just be a paper pusher.

Speaking up and seeing things we can collaborate on or work on and facilitate making decisions or change, then I need to be able to use that.

Stop holding yourself up to compare to others. God is doing in your life exactly what he intended to.  Your job is to obey him.

We want to hear “well done, good and faithful servant.”

What determines how you will live your life as a Christian depends on how you see God.

It’s not a burden or chore.

Best thing you can take to heaven is someone else.
