Matthew 25:14-30

Living for the Lord is a process that begins at salvation that is broken into three areas: being called by the Lord, the Lord choosing us and faithful service to the Lord. One of the great themes of the Bible is that God is faithful to us. And in response, we are to be faithful to Him. But faithfulness requires commitment, doing the small things.

Everyone is good at something. This natural talent is a God-given gift, but what are we supposed to do with it? In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus answers this question plainly using the story about the landowner and the talents. What can we learn from each servant’s decision?

In this sermon, Dr. Herbert Ward draws a spiritual contrast between being a "gambler" and an "investor" in life, using biblical examples like Cain and Abel. Cain is depicted as earthly-minded, investing in cursed ground, while Abel is heavenly-minded, investing in what pleases God. The message extends to how one approaches life: gamblers seek quick rewards and live for the moment, often relying on themselves and suffering loss, while investors have patience, invest in God’s kingdom, and reap lasting rewards. Dr. Ward encourages readers to invest time, effort, and faith in God, rather than worldly pursuits, highlighting the importance of making wise spiritual investments that lead to eternal life and fulfillment.

Will He say, “Well done, good and faithful servant” … or will your life echo with the words, “It might have been”?
