Episode 1043: Problems Can Provide Protection
As we explore a story Jesus told in Matthew 25, we review a fourth principle: It’s wrong to bury your talents.
Why do we bury our talents? Why are we afraid? What fears keep us from using our talents? Satan can fill us with at least three different fears that keep us from investing our lives in God.
The more you use something, the more it grows. But if you don't use it, you lose it. Pray for opportunities to use your talents.
