THE BELIEVER’S DUTY TO SERVE  Matthew 25:14-30

While Jesus is away, the believer is to do something: serve faithfully.

While Jesus is away, the believer is to know something: his service will be rewarded.

 

“Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God. . .”      Acts 2:33

 

“For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels,

and then He will reward according to his works.”     Matthew 16:27

 

THE LORD WENT TO A FAR COUNTRY

THE LORD ENTRUSTED HIS GOODS TO HIS SERVANTS

THE SERVANTS TREATED THE LORD’S GOODS DIFFERENTLY

THE REWARD DAY CAME TO BE REWARDED WITH MORE WORK

 

Lessons to learn

God accomplishes His Work through people.

God equips His people with abilities.

God expects us to use what He has given to us.

God will reward servants with rulership

 

Do something – serve faithfully

Know something – your service will be rewarded
