In this week’s sermon, we learn about the Parable of the Talents. The story reinforces the truth that each of us is uniquely equipped with natural abilities and resources given to us for use in God’s kingdom. The key is learning to apply our special, God-given talents to make an eternal difference in the lives of those around us. There are many things we prioritize in life, such as food, wealth, or social status. The only thing that truly matters, however, is our eternal status. Are there ways you can use your time, skills, influence, or other resources to make an eternal impact? Whether your mission field is your home, community, at the national level, or around the globe, Ephesians 5:15–16 tells us to live wisely, “making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” There has never been a better time in history than now to learn what the Bible says about the days in which we are living. Then, go and share it with someone.
