Don’t Bury God’s Blessings
Description
In this week’s message, Matthew Balentine explores Jesus’ Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14 –30, reminding us that everything we have—our time, our talents, and our treasures—belongs to God.
Through this story, we learn that God entrusts each of us with different resources, not equally but intentionally. The question isn’t what we’ve been given—it’s what we’re doing with what we’ve been given.
Matthew challenges us to examine whether we’re investing our blessings for God’s glory or burying them in fear and excuses. True faithfulness isn’t about quantity or comparison—it’s about obedience, gratitude, and action.
🔑 Key Themes:
Everything we manage belongs to God.
God values faithfulness more than results.
Fear can cause us to bury our blessings.
Stewardship means using God’s gifts for His glory.
