10 talents and 21st birthdays


This past week was Pastor Jeff and Joey Abram's birthday. The lesson for Sunday was the story of the 10 talents, where a rich man gives his servants different amounts of money. Two of them invest the money and return double, while the 3rd is afraid and buries it in the ground.

What does this have to do with turning 21? Jeff talked to us about how God gives us so much and yet we are afraid to do anything with it. When we're 21, we wanna go and see the world. We want to embrace all the things we can become. As we age, we get fearful of consequences. We forget God's generosity.
