Summary

Jesus used parables in His teaching. Perhaps one of the best remembered of those parables is the “Parable of the Talents.” Through it He teaches that the extraordinary work He intends to accomplish through us is not dependent upon which gifts or talents He has given us; it is dependent upon our faithfulness to use whatever He has given us, and our availability to be guided by His Holy Spirit.

Episode Description

Many of you are familiar with my book series, The Called. The premise of each of the books is that each person was an “ordinary” person who God used in an extraordinary way. God only works in extraordinary ways! And we are all very ordinary before Him. But by His grace, and in His sovereignty, God has chosen to work through each of us. As the apostle Paul reminds us, God has created each of us uniquely and given us different gifts. But the extraordinary work He intends to accomplish through each of us is not dependent upon which gifts or talents He has given us, it is dependent upon our faithfulness to use whatever He has given us, and our availability to be guided by His Holy Spirit.
