Propelling our legacy into the future.
THIS MOMENT
Week 2: September 27-28, 2025
Scripture: Matthew 25:14–29
14
“For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned
his slaves and entrusted his property to them; 15 to
one he gave five talents, to another two, to another
one, to each according to his ability. Then he went
away. At once 16 the one who had received the five
talents went off and traded with them and made five
more talents. 17 In the same way, the one who had
the two talents made two more talents. 18 But the
one who had received the one talent went off and
dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19
After a long time the master of those slaves came
and settled accounts with them. 20 Then the one who
had received the five talents came forward, bringing
five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed
over to me five talents; see, I have made five more
talents.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good
and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in
a few things; I will put you in charge of many things;
enter into the joy of your master.’
22
And the one with the two talents also came
forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me
two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’
23
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and
trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a
few things; I will put you in charge of many things;
enter into the joy of your master.’
24
Then the one who had received the one talent
also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that
you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not
sow and gathering where you did not scatter, 25
so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in
the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ 26 But his
master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You
knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow and
gather where I did not scatter? 27 Then you ought to
have invested my money with the bankers, and on
my return I would have received what was my own
with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give
it to the one with the ten talents. 29 For to all those
who have, more will be given, and they will have an
abundance, but from those who have nothing, even
what they have will be taken away.
Theme: For Much Has Been Entrusted
The parable of the talents isn’t just about money—
it’s about responsibility and trust. Each servant
receives something valuable and is called to
steward it faithfully. Plymouth is a congregation to
which much has been entrusted: a rich legacy, a
vibrant community, and abundant resources. With
great trust comes great responsibility. How will
we grow, multiply, and faithfully use what God has
placed in our care — not bury it in fear?
