Jesus was the master storyteller. But each story carried a significant spiritual meaning.

In the Parable of the Minas we read of a coming king, who has left his servants the means to do business.

When he returns he calls them to account for their labours, and rewards them accordingly.

But what of the wicked servant who failed to yield a return?

Who are the citizens who refused to have the king reign over them?

Once the parable is understaood in context, we must ask ourselves, ‘What is God saying to us through this parable, both as individuals and as a church?’

Pastor Matthew Hobbs draws three principle lessons from the parable, alliterated in the words, ‘Watch’, ‘Witness’ and ‘Worship’, which form a vision for the church going into 2025.
