Serving God brings Satisfaction

There are different ways to serve, but we serve

the same Lord. And there are different ways that

God works in people, but it is the same God who works in all of us to do

everything..

“At that time God’s kingdom will also be like a man leaving home to travel to another place for a visit. Before he left, he talked with his servants. He entrusted his servants to take care of his things while he was gone. He

decided how much each servant would be able to care for.

The man gave one servant five bags of money. He gave another

servant two bags. And he gave a third servant one bag. Then he

left. Matthew 25: 14-15 ERV

Trust

The servant who got five bags went quickly to invest the money. Those five bags of

money earned five more. It was the same with the servant who had two bags. That servant invested the money and earned

two more. But the servant who got one bag of money went away and dug a hole in the

ground. Then he hid his master’s money in the hole.

Matthew 25: 16-18 ERV

Invest

“After a long time the master came home. He asked the servants what they did with his money. The servant who got five bags brought that amount and five more bags of

money to the master. The servant said, ‘Master, you trusted me to care for five

bags of money. So I used them to earn five more.’

Matthew 25: 19-20 ERV

“Then the servant who got two bags of money came to the

master. The servant said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of money to care for. So I used your two bags to earn two more.’

“The master answered, ‘You did right. You are a good servant who can be trusted. You did well with that small amount of money. So I will let you care for much greater things. Come and share my happiness with me.’

Matthew 25:21,23 ERV

Account

Then the servant who got one bag of money came to the master. The servant said, ‘Master, I knew you were a very hard man… So I was afraid. I went and hid your money in the ground. Here is the

one bag of money you gave me.’

Matthew 25: 24-25 ERV

Account

“The master answered, ‘You are a bad and lazy servant! . . . you should have put my money in the bank. Then, when I came home, I would get

my money back. And I would also get the interest that my money earned.’ “So the master told his

other servants, ‘Take the one bag of money from that servant and give it to the servant who has

ten bags. Everyone who uses what they have will get more. They will have much more than they need. But people who do not use what they have will have everything taken away from

them.’ Matthew 25: 26-30 ERV Account

You should think of us as servants of Christ, the ones God has trusted to do the work of making known his secret truths. Those who are trusted with such an important work must show that they are worthy of that trust. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 ERV
