Read Matthew 25:14-28
*A talent represents our abilities, time, resources and opportunities to serve GOD while on earth.
*All Christians have one thing in common at least a talent and time.
* Each one recieved entrustments according to His ability.
How do I use the following for GOD's glory?
> Money
>Talents and Abilities
>Time
*We are responsible to use well what God has given us.
*The issue is not how much we have, but how well we use what we have.

Christian Life
Read 1Cor. 9:24-27
Perseverance, Persistence, the Prize!! The Christian life was never promised as an easy way to live; Instead, 1 Cor. 9:24-27 constantly reminds us that we must have a purpose and a plan because times will be difficult and satan will attack. But we never persevere w/o the promise of a price- a promise GOD will keep.
* What is our purpose?
- run to get the prize.
- run straight to the goal.
* What is our plan?
- deny yourself whatever is potentially harmful.
- discipline your body, training it.
* What is our Prize?
- a crown that will last forever
* What is our penalty?
- disqualifacation (it does not mean that we could lose our salvation but rather we could lose our privelage of telling others about Christ (credibility). we must practice what we learn)

LOVE
