Live Service for Dec 4th, 2024

Matthew 25:14-15

14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents,[b] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.

 

Romans 12:3

3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.

 

Proposition

Every person has a certain level of capacity to fulfill purpose and destiny. Many times we do not promote working within that level of capacity, because we believe that individuals must always expand beyond their limits. Since most people are not usually aware of their capacity, we must find ways to aid one another in proper assessment

 

Relevant Question

How do assess our capacity to fulfill our purpose in God?

 

Synthesis

1. Have a Healthy Recognition of Our Ability (We need to recognize our gift/skill set from the beginning; understand that our ability has not reached its maximum capacity in the beginning; our ability will only be known by how we work it)

2. Have Humility Regarding Our Capacity (We can not extend our capacity without God doing so; we should not attempt to prove our capacity to others based on their expectations, preconceived notions, or assumptions; we know that

3. Understand Our Faith Is Connected to Our Capacity and Ability (Faith expands the potential of our ability and capacity to handle situations and circumstances)
