Reply to "MISC IDEAS for Parable of the Talents"

This wonderful Parables Liturgy/poem was originally posted by the Rotation folks at Desoto Pres in Dallas Tx.  It mentions several parables, including the talents/pounds.  

Wonderful 

 



Choral Reading:


Leader: When Jesus on this earth did dwell, 
All: Many a story He loved to tell.

Leader: We call them parables, and in each
All:  Is a lesson Jesus wanted to teach.

Leader: When you hear these stories, keep in mind, 
All:  There’s always a message for you to find.

1st reader: When Jesus spoke of the kingdom of heaven, 
All:  He said, it’s like a piece of leaven.

2nd reader: A little yeast will make bread rise, 
Boys:  Though it’s small and hidden from your eyes. 

3rd reader: The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed; 
Girls: Though tiny, it grows to be great indeed. 

Leader: Some seeds grow in secret, there in the field, 
All:  But when harvest time comes, fine fruits they yield. 

5th reader: A master gave money to his servants one day
And told them, “Invest it while I am away.”

6th reader: Whether talents or pounds, it was a great sum
For the servants to use till the master should come.

7th reader: The wise ones obeyed him, but one man did not.
He said,

8th reader: “I might lose it; I’ll hide what I got.”

Leader: He made a wrong choice. Jesus gives us the clues:
All:  The gifts that God gave us, He wants us to use.

 

Leader: The man who had hidden his treasure away
All:  Lost all that he had on the reckoning day.

Leader: So, be like the steward who used what he had; 
All:  Because he was wise, his master was glad! 

Pass out musical instruments and sing,

“Let us our Talents and Tongues Employ”

Read the Bible Memory Verse: 

Well done, you good and faithful servant! You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will put you in charge of large amounts. Come on in and share My happiness. Matthew 25: 21
