Stewarding God’s talents
May 9, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 shows God gives to us with the intent that we invest and multiply his gifts. He did not judge harshly those with smaller talents for earning smaller returns. He did judge the one who hid his talent and earned nothing.
V Don’t think because you have little money, what you do with it is unimportant. We have choices. You might say the steward with 5 talents invested in stocks, equity. The 2 talent person, real estate, the 1 talent person but that money in a shoe box. Not even a 401K match! No return.
M We’ve oversimplified here, but clearly, we want to be the commended steward who has multiplied wisely what God has entrusted.
