Summary

What does it mean to be a good and faithful servant? Dave catches a key detail in the Parable of the Talents: God doesn’t give us all the same amount of talents. God will never give us more than we can handle, while at the same time, God sees something more in us than anyone else ever can, including ourselves! Our goal is to use our talents to glorify the Lord so that we can hear at the end of our lives, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

1:13.2	so much feedback on this season. I'm really glad we did. I felt like for me it was very
1:18.4	spiritually fruitful because I don't normally make myself read the parables. I mean, I will.
1:23.0	As I'm going through the gossars, I don't skip them. But it's not something I go back to very
