About this episode
Pastor Troy Levy discusses the importance of using and developing the gifts God has given us, as illustrated by the parable of the talents.
In this practical and thought-provoking message, Pastor Troy Levy draws from the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, reminding us that what God has placed in our hands is meant to be used, developed, and multiplied. Practice challenges us to move beyond fear, hesitation, and excuses, and to actively steward the gifts, opportunities, and responsibilities God has entrusted to us. Growth doesn’t happen by chance—it happens through consistent faithfulness and intentional effort. This sermon encourages us to put our faith into action, trust God with what we have, and commit to the process. What you practice today prepares you for what God has planned tomorrow.
