The Parable of the Ten Minas

READ: Luke 19:11-27

DISCUSS: Describe a time when you used a specific skill or talent to accomplish a task? Could you have accomplished the task without using your skill or talent? Why or why not? / How does the Kingdom of God arrive? Where are we in the timeline of the “already, but not yet?” / What can we learn from the faithfulness of the first two servants? How were they rewarded? How does that relate to reward(s) in Heaven? 

PRAY: Pray that you will be a faithful steward of what God has entrusted to you. Ask the Lord for opportunities to use your spiritual gifts to glorify Christ and further His Kingdom until He returns.

PRACTICE: SURVEY: If you’ve never taken a spiritual gift survey, follow the web address below to discover your spiritual gifts: https://gifts.churchgrowth.org/spiritual-gifts-survey / INVEST: Think of one way you can use your spiritual gift(s) this week to “invest” in the Kingdom of God. / PREPARE: As we enter into Holy Week, prepare your heart by reading the following chapters: Matthew 21; Mark 11; Luke 19; John 12. 

DIVE DEEPER: Read Numbers 16:30-35; Isaiah 66:6; Nahum 1:8; Psalm 2:9; Psalm 21:8-9; Matthew 22:7; Luke 19:14; Luke 21:22; 1 Thessalonians 2:15-16; Hebrews 10:13. What do the verses teach us about Christ’s enemies, judgement and eternal reign?
