Tempo e Talento - Lição Jovem 30/08/2024 - Pastor Elmar Borges

And we arrived at Friday. Tomorrow is Sabbath School day for us to go to church, meet our friends and I would like to encourage you to work on two questions that we have here on Friday. Remembering a good Sabbath School teacher, not one who talks to himself, ok?

Why? Because Sabbath School or the Sabbath School Lesson is not a second sermon. A good teacher is one who can direct the lesson, that is, he asks questions, he asks for opinions and so on, people share and they understand the message more and more.

And here are two questions that I think could last almost an hour of conversation. Take a look: What talents has God given you and how can you best use them to bless other people? Cool question, right?

Imagine you there with your ten young people, tomorrow you ask them what do you think your talent is? Many will say: I don't know. Now, imagine if you helped this person find their talent?

Because sometimes the person is not seeing and they are not, they are not understanding. For example, what is your talent? I don't know, no.

I know your handwriting, your handwriting is beautiful. You can make those pictures here written like that I can't do. But your talent is true.

Can you use my beautiful handwriting to bless other people? Of course it does. Are you understanding?

So, sometimes the person doesn't know what their talent is, but their friends around them can help them discover what their talent is. It's OK? It's worth it, huh?

Maybe tomorrow you can make a list of the talents of the people in your class. And then, how can we prepare to allow God to use us in his service? What can we do?

I think the first thing is spiritual preparation, it's studying the word more, more in prayer, more in conversation with our God. The work is spiritual, but we also have to prepare ourselves so that our gift can multiply and be another blessing. For example, you have the gift of music, for example, playing an instrument.

No one is born knowing how to play the piano. For you to play the piano well, it means that you have to study and some people study for hours and hours and hours, years, years, years. But after five years of studying hard, today he plays much better than he did five years ago.

And so because he plays much better, it means that he can serve much more and much better in the cause of God. Do you understand? So, I think we have to have this understanding that we need to try to increasingly improve those gifts, those talents that God gave us so that we can dedicate ourselves to His cause.

It is fine? Truly, I would like you who are listening and seeing me to be ranked among those men who received five talents and turned five into ten. He who received two, who took two and multiplied it to two more, I would not like to imagine that you are one of those who received one buried and was unfaithful.

No infidelity. Let us live total and complete fidelity. Beauty?

God bless you and see you next week.
