Hi, I'm Brenda from St Francis Anglican Church in Ingleby Barwick. There's a saying among leaders that if you want a job doing, ask a busy person
0:18
But is that right? Well, there's a story in the Bible about the owner of a place who is going away
0:24
and he gives to one of his servants five talents. he gives to another servant two talents and he gives to the last servant one talent
0:35
when he comes back the person with five talents has invested wisely
0:40
doubled that number and gives the master back ten the one who has been given two talents has doubled his and gives the master back four
0:51
But the one to whom the master gave one talent rushes away digs a hole in the ground where he buried that one talent and gives the master back one Jesus says we are to be good stewards of things given to us That includes how we spend our time
1:14
So I ask you, are you doing more than your fair share and burning out
1:19
or do you know that you're not pulling your weight and could do more to help those around you
1:28
If we each take responsibility for how we spend our time and for Christians this means asking God for guidance
1:37
If we are good stewards of our time imagine how much we can achieve for the good of everyone
1:46
My prayer for us all today is wisdom. Amen
