Challenges Are There to Grow You

 

by Frederick Drummond, Sr.

Matt. 25:14-30

  • They are your friend and not your enemy.

  • Perception is everything.

  • Trust in a good, rewarding God will make all the difference.


1. God believes in you.


"For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them." (v. 14)


2. You have what it takes.


"And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey." (v. 15)


3. You can if you really want to.


"But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord's money." (v. 18)


4. You have enough time to get it right.


"After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them." (v. 19)


5. It's all in the eyes of the beholder.


"Then he who had received the one talent came and said. 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man,...'" (v. 24a)


6. Don't impugn others for your shortsightedness.

"'. . reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.'" (v. 24b)


7. Fear opens the door to dishonesty.


"'And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.(v. 25)


8. No one likes a loser with a bad attitude.


"But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.'" (w. 26-28)

Your Finest Hour
by Frederick Drummond, Sr.

Text: Luke 15:17

Keywords: turning point / defining moment / anointing / price

Your defining moment might not be when you rise up as a victor, but rather, when you willingly lay your life down as a failure. Let me get to the point. Before you can be the success you have always dreamed of, you are going to have to honestly face the demons in your basement as well as the angels in your attic.

Do you suppose that this is how God wants all of us to end up—blessed and with double for our trouble? My answer to this is a confident "Yes," because I believe in a good God Who is a rewarder of the faithful.

An Unlikely Candidate

Keywords: choosing / criticism / forgiveness / love

My heart breaks for the men and women of God whom I've seen publicly crucified because someone decided they would help God. Their accusers went so far in their self-righteous presumption to publicly attack them for the distinct purpose of destroying their God-given ministries.

What Does Your Life Say?

Text: multiple

Keywords: testimony / authority / words / love of the truth

Do your words come out just as another reasonable or interesting point of view, or are your words carried along by the authority of God? It doesn’t take a seminary education; it takes a relationship with Jesus based upon the love of the truth.
