Faithful in the Master's Service (Video)

This is the second in a 3-message series "Your Destiny Awaits", by Pastor Reid Matthias on 15 Nov 2020: "Faithful in the Master's Service".

“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’” ~Matthew 25:21

Can you think of a time in your life where someone in authority, whether parent or boss, was pleased with you and your work? Which was the greater reward: the outcome or the words of joy from the authority?

For the contemporary church, Jesus speaks this parable not so much as a warning, but as an encouragement to use his greatest gift to us to multiply and build the kingdom. What is this gift? Is it money? Is it a talent? Or, is it something far greater?

Read Matthew 25:14-30 in preparation for the parable to the 21st century Church.
