Contribution to the Kingdom | Built to Thrive
God has entrusted each of us with unique gifts—our time, talent, and treasure. In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus tells the parable of the bags of gold, a story that reveals how our faithfulness in stewarding what God gives us determines our eternal reward.
The parable challenges us to take inventory of our lives. Are we actively using our time to serve others? Are we investing our God-given talents in meaningful ways? And are we managing our financial resources to advance His kingdom?
3 Key Takeaways from the Parable of the Bags of Gold:
God Entrusts Us with Responsibility: Each servant in the parable was given resources according to their ability. Similarly, God equips us uniquely to contribute to His work.
Faithfulness Matters: The master rewarded the servants who invested their gold wisely. God values faithfulness in how we steward what we’ve been given.
Fear Stifles Stewardship: The servant who buried his gold out of fear missed the blessing of growth. Don’t let fear hold you back from fully embracing your purpose.
Let’s move beyond a mindset of scarcity and embrace a life of faithful stewardship. How are you using what God has given you?
