November 19, 2023 Jesus teaches us about using the gifts God has given us. “His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great

responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’”

—Matthew 25:21

Discussion Questions

What small responsibilities do you have? How can you do them with a faithful heart?

What gifts has God given you? How is He asking you to use them for His Kingdom?

What keeps you from using the gifts God has given you?
