“We
have nothing to do with how much ability we've got, or how little, but with
what we do with what we have. The man with great talent is apt to be puffed up,
and the man with little (talent) to belittle the little. Poor fools! God gives
it, much or little. Our part is to be faithful, doing the level best with every
bit and scrap. And we will be if Jesus' spirit controls” (S.D. Gordon, The
Bent-knee Time).
This week at ElmCreek Community Church we
will continue to study the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30, focusing
on our God-given abilities. Join us as
we strive to understand how to use our natural gifts for the work of our Master
and Lord and how as disciples of Jesus Christ we should view our talents. May the Holy Spirit use our time together to
convict, mold, and change us as his disciples so that we may better preach
through word and deed the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Striving to know Christ and make Him known,
Pastor Mark
