Below is a summary of the week and some questions to ask in your Tribe. Feel free to use any of the resources at the bottom too! The idea is that we are growing in our connection with God.
Hello, we are glad you're here!
We have been in a series called Brighter Days, and this week we learned from the example of the faithful servants in Matthew 25 what it means to use the resources and talents God has given us on our way to our brightest days.
KEY SCRIPTURE
KEY POINTS
Five Characteristics of the Brightest Day for the Servants
1. Divine approval
Our confidence comes from knowing we have done what God calls us to do, and that God is pleased with us.
2. Fruitful faithfulness
Being faithful means more than being devoted to doing something, it also means being consistent and putting in the type of efforts that bring positive results.
3. Exponential multiplication
God has given each of us a talent as a gift. We ought to be using them to give something back to Him.
4. Greater responsibility
Our reward for doing well isn’t necessarily going to be something we expect. Often it comes in the form of more responsibility, or more things to be responsible for.
5. Greater happiness
When we are utilizing our God-given talents and fulfilling our passions, we not only gain responsibility, but we feel happier. God brings this happiness when we are using the resources God has given us in wise ways.
Brighter days are meant to be joyful days – days when we are reaping the rewards from putting in our best efforts. Getting to those brighter days may not be the easiest or most pleasant, but they will be filled with using your talents and passion.
We pray that you are staying connected to God and others in a meaningful way. Our prayer is that you consciously grow from your time studying the Bible.
