He gave five talents of silver to one servant, two talents to another servant, and one talent to a third, to each according to his ability; and he went away…”

How did you become involved in your area of ministry? Share in small groups how you became involved in ministry. Were any of you uncomfortable with what you were asked to do? And if yes, did you shy away from that ministry? Were any of you comfortable with your ministry area? Can you say why? Is there an area of ministry you feel drawn to? (Someone to make notes and share the stories)

What are talents and how do you develop them?

Theology of Strengths

FINDING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU!

BE NATURALLY WHO GOD MADE YOU TO BE

FINDING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU & OTHERS! 1 Cor. 12: – Analogy of the Body “As the body is one, having many members, and all the members, while being many, form one body, so it is with Christ. All of us whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, have been baptized in one Spirit to form one body… The body has not just one member, but many. If the foot should say, “I do not belong to the body for I am not a hand”, it would be wrong: it is part of the body! … if all the body were an eye, how would we hear?...” ONE BODY, MANY MEMBERS, DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS

FINDING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU & OTHERS!

Acts 6: 1- 4 In those days, as the number of disciples grew, the so-called Hellenists complained against the so- called Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. So the twelve summoned the whole body of disciples together and said, “It is not right that we should neglect the Word of God to serve at tables. So, friends, choose from among yourselves seven respected men full of the Spirit, and wisdom, that we may appoint them to this task. As for us we shall give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word”.
