Parable of the Bags of Gold: February 26, 2014:

INTRO:   “Speak Life” by TobyMac music video


“In every encounter we either speak life; or we drain it”

“If we judge a fish on how well he climbs a tree, he’s going to feel stupid the rest of his life.” 
We need to be more conscious of what measuring stick we are pulling out.

Summarizing Last Week:
-Fearing the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM (Be aware of Him in every step you take)
-Knowing the path is different than being ON the path

Everyone has different applications for learning. 
Take what you learn, start applying it, and the next step will come and so will understanding. 
All scripture is God breathed and is profitable


Matthew 25: 14-30  The Parable of the Bags of Gold

Is there any modern day equivalent to this parable?
