The Parable of the Talents: Jacob Ward

The parable of the talents teaches us about stewardship of our God-given gifts and the gospel itself. Just as the master entrusted his servants with talents, God has given each believer spiritual gifts and the responsibility to share the gospel. The third servant's fear led him to bury his talent, symbolizing Christians who hide their faith rather than use it to further God's kingdom. We are called to discover our unique gifts through prayer and feedback from others, then use our platforms to reach those without hope. This holiday season presents opportunities to share the gospel with family and friends who need to hear about the hope found in Jesus Christ.
