Lord’s Day Message:
What do you do after you are saved?
Bible Verses: Matt. 25:14-26a, 27, 30
14 For the kingdom of the heavens is just like a man about to go abroad, who called his own slaves and delivered to them his possessions. 15 To one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability. And he went abroad. 16 Immediately he who had received the five talents went and traded with them and 2gained another five.17 Similarly, he who had received the two gained another two.18 But he who had received the one went off and dug in the earth and hid his master’s money.
19 Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.20 And he who had received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, Master, you delivered to me five talents; behold, I have gained another five talents.21 His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful over a few things; I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.
22 And he who had received the two talents also came and said, Master, you delivered to me two talents; behold, I have gained another two talents.23 His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful over a few things; I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.
24 Then he who had received the one talent also came and said, Master, I knew about you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you didnot sow, and gathering where you did not winnow.25 And I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have what is yours.26 And his master answered and said …27 … you should have deposited my money with the money changers; and when I came, I would have recovered what is mine withinterest…30 And cast out the useless slave into the outer darkness. In that place there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Heb. 12:28-29
28 Therefore receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may serve God dwell-pleasingly with piety and fear;29 For our God is also a consuming fire.
1 Corinthians 3:10-15
10 According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid a foundation, and another builds upon it. But let each man take heed how he builds upon it.11 For another foundation no one is able to lay besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.12 But if anyone builds upon the foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, stubble,13 The work of each will become manifest; for the day will declare it, because it is revealed by fire, and the fire itself will prove each one’s work, of what sort it is.14 If anyone’s work which he has built upon the foundation remains, he will receive a reward;15 If anyone’s work is consumed, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as throughfire.
Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul andspirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
