Local Church Budget
Every steward has been endowed by God with at least one talent. As faithful stewards we are to seek opportunities to develop and expand our talents. Not only are we expected to develop our talents for personal gain, but we are to seek to grow and increase so that the mission of Christ and the kingdom of God can advance. For example, a person who has the ability to sing continues to rehearse, so that they might become better at singing the right notes and conveying the message of the song they are performing. The same is true of our financial resources. We should give careful and prayerful thought to how we invest our monies, so that the returns can be beneficial not just to our own bank accounts but also to the cause of Christ.
The parable of the talents (NKJV) or bags of gold (NIV) in Matthew 25:14-30 highlights the importance and the expectation of increasing our resources. Like the master, God expects that we will make use of the opportunities presented to us to grow the resources He has given us. In fact, those who increased their talents in the parable were given more. They are declared as “good and faithful servants” (verses 21, 23).
Today as we gather to worship through giving, let us seek to be good and faithful servants who will assist in the ministries and mission of our local church.
