The Parable of the Talents 11 22 19

The Parable of the Talents 11 22 19 Hi, I'm darrel. I want to introduce this video as the first in a series that I am calling: "I Love Parables".

This video is about The Parable of the Talents from the New
Testiment (NIV, Matthew 25:14-30). I was motivated to produce this video, using my talents, while watching an online presentation by Clay Scroggins at the Buckhead Church in Atlanta Georgia.

Pastor Clay closed his presentation by describing 4 ideas about
God-given talents that we all have in some degree, and we are
stewards as is described in the Parable in this video. The ideas
are: 1. we have ownership of talents, 2. we have responsibilties to
handle the stuff that we have, 3. accountability - what did I do
with my talents?, and 4. rewards as was described in the Parable.

So, as I watched, I began to ask myself some questions about how I was using my talents... That's why I produced this video to try to
do more with my talents.

If you are watching this video on YouTube, please give me some
feedback in the comments section below this video. And please
subscribe to this channel so you can be notified when the next
Parable video is produced.

Now, continue to watch as we play the audio of the Parable Of The
Talents:

The Parable of the Talents

It will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.

The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

The man with the two talents also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.’

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Then the man who had received the one talent came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.’

‘Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” (NIV, Matthew 25:14-30)
