Pastor starts out by reading a wonderful letter from Dr. Peter in Australia. You’ll love this one. It’ll make you want to stand up and cheer. Well… only if you’re weird like us.
Last week we engaged Matthew 25:14-30. We’re going to attempt The Parable of the Talents.
Jesus is God… Therefore He would devise perfect parables. He’s NOT just a good teacher. ALL doctrine flows from the Deity of Christ. Helga might not agree, but we just don’t care. (see last week’s sermon for Fun with Helga)
Pastor reads our passage then we’ll get into it. We’re going to hit this passage with a back hoe and uncover enough so you can dig from there and… you’ll find even more treasure.
Disclaimer: No one can do an exhaustive study of this or any passage. Why? Because it is God who says it, and it is God who wrote it. Dah!
After our pastor reads and comments on the passage, he has to make list for us. So here it is:
1a.Kingdom of Heaven
1.Man – Traveling from a Far…
2.Own Slaves
3.His Goods / Property
4.One – 5 Talent
5.One – 2 Talent
6.One – 1 Talent
7.Ability
8.Immediately Leaves
9.Trading Occurs 5+5 2+2
10.Dug.Hid.
11.Long Time
12.Settle / Accounting (All come)
13.You Gave,Look
14.Well Done Good, Faithful, Ruler, Enter
15.Few Things / Many Things
16.#2
17.Exactness
Okay. You’ve got the list. Now listen and follow along. Fasten your seatbelts; place your tray tables and seat backs in their upright and locked positions. And press play.
