Life Group Questions
Opening Question:
Are you more of a planner or a go with the flow type person?
Digging Deeper:
Read Matthew 25:14-21. What stands out to you in these verses? What do you think is the main theme or the central point of this parable?
What is the significance of the amount of talents being given to each servant “according to his own ability” (v. 15)? What does this verse teach us about God?
What does it mean to you to be considered a “good and faithful servant”?
Life Application:
Share about a time when you felt like you were using your talents for the Lord? What were you doing? How did it feel? Why is it so important for us to use the talents God has given us?
The last servant went and “hid” his talent. What is Jesus trying to teach us about this servant? What are some ways that we “hide” our talents today?
What does it look like for you to invest wisely and slowly? What about ethically?
As you think about the gifts, time, talents, interests, etc., that God has given you, what expectations might He have for your usage of them? What are some of the talents God has given you? What area do you struggle being faithful with the most?
Where are some places or areas that God may be calling you to use the talents He has given you? What steps can you take to begin that process? How can you grow in generosity?
