“Use Your Talent For The Lord” is a sermon delivered by the channel AMG Broadcasting (Acts Media Group).
The sermon encourages listeners to utilize their God-given talents and abilities, no matter how small they may seem, for the glory of God and to serve others.
Key points from the sermon include:
- God’s Grace and Surrender
- The Example of Dorcas (Tabitha)
- The sermon references the story of Dorcas (Tabitha) from Acts chapter 9, who was known for “always doing good and helping the poor,” particularly by making clothing for widows [02:54:00].
- Her actions, though seemingly small (just making clothes), left behind a powerful, recorded testimony in the Word of God [05:29:00]. The message is that even if sewing was her only talent, she used it faithfully for God’s glory [07:16:00].
- The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)
- Jesus gave talents (abilities/responsibilities) to each servant “according to his ability” [09:27:00]. God will not put people in charge of things they are unable to do [12:02:00].
- The men who invested their five and two talents received the same praise: “Well done good and faithful servant” [10:05:00]. This emphasizes that God rewards faithfulness with the abilities given, not the quantity of the abilities [12:44:00].
- The servant who hid his one talent was called “wicked lazy” because he did not put it to work. His fear of the “hard man” (God) was not an excuse for inaction [10:50:00].
- The Parable of the Minas (Luke 19:12-27)
- Similarly, this parable shows that servants who were faithful in using their one minas to gain ten and five more were rewarded with rulership over cities [18:43:00].
- The speaker stresses that never think what you do for God is small; faithfulness in small things leads to great blessings and rewards in heaven [30:42:00].
- A Call to Surrender
- The message concludes with a challenge for those who have not yet submitted to Jesus as King and Lord of their life, urging them to do so today [32:51:00].
