As we read the gospel narratives, we encounter Jesus as the master teacher, and one of His primary methods of teaching was the use of parables. Most simply, a parable is a short story that uses everyday things or events to illustrate a spiritual principle or truth. In His ministry, Jesus uses parables to most effectively draw a parallel between everyday life and a greater spiritual truth in God’s kingdom.
In this message we will look to the parable of the Talents found in Matthew 25:14-30 and discover what it is to be faithful as we wait for the Master’s return.
