Title: Recover Lost Loyalty / Matthew 25:14-30
Recover lost loyalty / Matthew 25:14-30
It is like another man who is going to a foreign country and calls his servants and entrusts them with his possessions.
They each gave five talents of gold to one, two talents to the other, and one talent to the other, according to their talents.
The one who received the five talents went right away and traded with them, leaving another five talents.
He who had received two talents did the same, and gained two more talents.
The one who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.
After a long time the master of the servants returned and made an account with them.
The one who had received the five talents brought five more and said, "Lord, you gave me five talents; behold, I have gained five more."
His master said, "Well done, good and faithful servant, since you have been faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master."
The one who had received two talents also came and said, "Lord, you have given me two talents; behold, I have gained two more."
His master said, "Well done, good and faithful servant, since you have been faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master."
The one who had received the one talent also came and said, "Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. Behold, you have received yours.
His master answered and said, "You wicked and lazy servant, did you know that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter?
Then you should leave my money with the Zurich and then come back to me to receive my principal and interest.
Take the one talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
From everyone who has, he will receive and have an abundance, but from everyone who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
Cast this useless servant out into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(Prayer) There are many people who believe in Jesus, but few who are faithful. Let us believe in Jesus and be faithful.
(Sermon) Let's learn about loyalty by reading the parable of the talents.
1. Loyalty refers to being faithful in small things.
'He was faithful in a little thing, and he did well'
Loyalty in small things is true loyalty.
Believers say they will be loyal, but they try to be loyal to great things.
Samil Church has many people on the broadcasting team.
Most of them who are willing to be loyal try to become announcers. 80% of women.
I try to be an announcer without thinking about my own voice.
Even if you try to be loyal because of competition, you cannot be loyal.
I try not to do things like carrying an inconspicuous camera.
I always hear clamors about the lack of people.
Pastors have tried to work in places that are invisible to others.
I don't have confidence in others.
However, there are many opportunities where there are no other people, and there is always a place just for me.
Therefore, the way is always open to those who are faithful in small things.
Previously, I was an evangelist in the church.
Many evangelists try to preach in front of people.
However, the Friday prayer meeting is all night long, and no church members come outside for 8 minutes from Grandma.
They take turns once every three months, and many people think of that time as a time of disaster.
So, he and his friend said they would be in charge for a year.
My co-workers bought me presents, bought me food, and gave me a lot.
It was from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.
While leading the prayer meeting, the power of prayer arose.
The sermon is preached twice, and it becomes practice of preaching.
There were people possessed by demons, etc., but the experience of going through a spiritual war occurred
In two and a half years, 8 people went up to 150 people.
Where revival took place in the ministry for the first time.
When there were 150 people, it became an important position and the pastor was pushed out again.
But that experience is a chance to realize that if you are loyal to the little things, you will get the big things.
About 80 sermons a month.
A good sermon is intended to be delivered when a large number of church members gather on a Sunday.
When a small number of saints have gathered, I have a feeling of being sloppy.
Then I got a lot of inspiration and poured it into my morning prayer.
Many people say that morning prayer sermons are the best.
Like early morning prayer, when there are no people, you can receive grace when the sermon is especially good.
There are so many people on Sundays, so just by looking at the back of the head, I receive grace and go home with tears in my eyes.
This is the reason why Samil Church is reviving.
Because you are faithful to the little things.
Sisters who are upset because they can't even get married
If I go to a show and find a guy I don't like, I act roughly.
Sisters who marry well are also nice to such men.
Even if we don't meet again, word of mouth is good.
The hearts of men are then opened.
So a much better way opens up.
The way is opened to those who are faithful in small things.
Psychologically, why people want to do big things that stand out
Because that's how I think I've been recognized by a powerful person.
It is because of the urge to be recognized by people.
A person who can only see big things is never a big person.
The really big people are the inner world, those who can see the little things.
A person who stands out is a person who stands out to a small person.
Remarkable to little leaders.
These are the leaders who can see small things if they are faithful in small things.
Because he is a master, he works under a good leader.
In the book of Acts, God said to David, "A man after my own heart."
You didn't say this when you did something big.
It was time to raise sheep in the fields.
Those who are conscious only of the eyes of God become faithful in small things.
Therefore, loyalty is being faithful in small things.
2. In addition, loyalty must be used according to one's talents by abandoning the ritual of comparison.
One talent is not a small amount. About 20-34 kg.
30 kg, that is, about half the weight of a woman.
In terms of price, it is worth about 1 billion.
One talent is very valuable.
If he had been faithful with it, he would have been recognized as a loyal person.
Loyalty is being loyal with what is given to me.
God has given us all glory
The greatest glory is to be used according to the intentions of our creator.
The person who made the hat intended to wear it on the head.
An honor to wear it on a hat.
Some people wear hats on their feet.
Because it is not for its original purpose, it is not used in a glorious way.
Can be used to speak microphone
It can be used as a hand to scratch the back.
It can also be used as a stick to hit people.
However, because it is not the original purpose, it is not used in a glorious way.
It is best used to amplify the original purpose of the sound. No need to compare hats and microphones.
Hong Hye-kyung, a famous Korean opera singer.
He said that to become a great opera singer, you have to find your own voice.
If you imitate someone else's voice, you will never be rewarded.
The reason people listen to the music of different singers is to listen to the music of other singers.
There are people who are not interested in their own gifts and only imitate the voices of others.
A lot of people try to be No.1.
Competition is fierce and life is difficult.
However, when it becomes Only 1, it becomes more convenient.
Living according to the gifts God has given me.
No. 1's center is tied to the eyes of others.
No matter how hard you run, you become a paper.
I like it when others approve it, or I feel heartbroken
If you become Only 1, you will not be heartbroken.
A life lived before God.
who lives before God
Becoming the only 1, not the No. 1
In the past, the pastor tried to be good at preaching himself.
But at some point, I believe that I have a style given to me.
I'm just trying to preach.
A lot of people around me say that I have a unique sermon.
It may not be No. 1, but it became Only 1.
There was a very unique sister in the church.
he liked it
I spent a lot of money and operated like a famous celebrity.
If you imitate it, surgery will make you look worse than that celebrity.
Became No.3.
A representative person who pursued No. 1 Jacob
He competes with his older brother and always tries to be number one.
Later, he met God and was changed.
One or two actions to meet the king right away.
1. Pharaoh blessed the king.
It becomes a life of giving while trying to achieve something else.
Only 1 A conscious person can give.
2. Revealing his weakness, saying that he lived a very difficult life after living for 130 years.
Jacob originally tried to show his good points without showing his weaknesses, but he met God and was changed.
Jacob has abundance.
We do not compare ourselves and we are loyal to God with our own worth.
A member of the mission team has a violinist.
The first day was a violin performance.
The second day was a Nanta performance. His name was Nanta, but he was actually a dwarf.
I am amazed at how God uses it. This can also be used. (lol)
On the third day, the fat person dances.
At first I doubted whether it was possible, but in Christ nothing was impossible.
The first day, the second day of the violin, the third day of the violin If it were a violin, no one would have come.
There must be diversity.
Loyalty is to come before God with one's glory.
There is nothing easier than loyalty.
Loyalty in small things is easy because there is no competition.
It is not difficult if you work with the gifts you have given me.
God doesn't want what He has not given, He wants to receive what He has given.
When we live emptying out what God has given us, that becomes loyalty.
Let's be this easy, loyal person.
