The people who made this video definetely made use of their talents and multiplied them 100x fold! God will reward you!

[@jescags]

This particular parable that Jesus Christ told speaks about talents. A wealthy man decides to go to a trip and that he'll be gone for a while but before he leaves he gathered his 3 servants and gave them talents, which represents money. The 1 servants has 5 talents and doubled it with another 5 because he did bussiness, so is the 2 servant who got 2 talents and multiplied it with another 2. While the 3 servant hid his 1 talent, he buried it deep beneath the groung because he was afraid of his master. When the master came back, he was happy about the 2 servants because they greatly took care of the talents he gave to them. And ofcourse he was mad because the 3 servant didn't do anything about the talent he gave to him. The point of this parable is, God given us all talents. It could singing, drawing, writing, sports, whatever it is. He wants us to use it for His glory, He wants us to grow in those God-given talents because if we use it in His will... you'll surely be abundant.

[@BreenyLee]

What I took from this powerful video: PARABLE OF THE TALENTS... We are all servants, we work for God... What will you do with what he gives you? The master never told them what to do with it.. The master gave according to their proven ability. They were all given the same in the eyes of the master. The one given less should have looked at what he was given which was more than what he had before and should have been grateful, instead of comparing his lot to the others. Being ungrateful doesn't produce anything! GO and be creative. Multiply what I have given you. Do so with joy. God loves multiplication God loves a good business man, you are being most like God when you turn nothing into something. Flip your gifts and talents, service more people, bless more people. Celebrate with those who are also bearing fruit. There will come a time when the master will ask back for what he's invested in you, will you be the good servant or the bad servant? Will you even show up or will you be ashamed? You will be promoted for what you have managed to do with the little or lot he has given to you. The one who did nothing, thought he did a lot and was expecting a reward, but he wasted the masters time. If the master wanted nothing back he would've gave you nothing to begin with. He wants a return on his investment. The little was given to the one who proved he was faithful and skillful and the useless servant was thrown out. You are useless when you don't even try.

[@studmalexy]

woman!!……...you know the truth :) you have been trusted with a little and will be given a lot! and for that please receive this special blessing did you know if you start with 1 righteous man who "doubles" his talents like the righteous servant here (winning another to the lord), then after each generation of "spiritual reproduction" 1,2,4,,8,16,32,64...etc after 33 generations only!,youd have over 8 billion believers in Christ!! Do the math...do 1 x 2 (33 times) This is the POWER of our word as a "seed planted" in others. And this is an amazing blessing kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXSTnIWbntV8iqM So take HOPE and motivation that we can "overcome" and win this spiritual battle and "seedline war" against Satan/his seed and the rulers of this world.

[@prospermandizadza6595]

Amen,Men

[@rajat9311]

that's not what the parable meant. the gold coins here represent faith. i suggest you look for the explanation from some other place. salvation can not be brought through your "gifts". watch ryan rufus video

[@Paristalon]

"God calls us to faithfulness not to success" I love that quote. We can seek the love of God or the love of mankind. As for me and my house...

[@bhimaganipooja3771]

I didn't understand When my teacher taught this lesson,but now I have understood. Thank you 🙏🙏

[@christianbaptiste243]

I'll use my talents or should I say all my talents who to give God thanks to him I will give God to my talents 🙏😇🙌. I'm good at fencing, novels, chess martial arts, and mostly everything hey music. I will use all my talents to serve God and I always love him with all my heart with all my life with him he's don't know about he's a loving heavenly father I always had. I understand up the parable of the talent helps me understand how to use my talents to complete. Lucky I listen to the Bible to understand important lessons to do. I feel and I live in a passion.

This just spoke to me without words....

[@teamcfamilygoals]

GOD's ways are higher than our ways :) In this parable Jesus is making it easier for us to see how He sees. The money represents the word of God that is being shared to us. It doesn't matter how much me have received but the thing is if we are faithful servants of the Lord we will use whatever we have received to share it to others. So it would grow and multiply to other peoples hearts .. bearing more fruit for the advancement of God's kingdom. :) The parable of the talents is from Matthew 25:14-29 And it also reminded me so much of this verse too Mark 4:23-25 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear." "Consider carefully what you hear," he continued. "With the measure you use, it will be measured to you--and even more. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."

[@studmalexy]

you know the truth! :) did you know if you start with 1 righteous man who "doubles" his talents like the righteous servant here (winning another to the lord), then after each generation of "spiritual reproduction" 1,2,4,,8,16,32,64...etc after 33 generations only!,youd have over 8 billion believers in Christ!!

When you need to watch it at school be like :(

[@jbcbsb1]

My class loved this when I used it in RE when learning about the parable of the talents. It really engaged them and afterwards they went off making bags of money and using their talents!

Thank you for the effort / shared videos Mr. ROdTheNey The Parables of Jesus these helps my bible study for the kids on the street. May God Bless your more ! -Philippines

[@AlexKW]

Wonderful creativity. God Bless you abundantly about this endeavor. This video, I just cannot stop watching. The expressions are amazing. The expressions are too too too good. God Bless you about your creativity. I request and encourage you to do many more.

[@rmysterio069]

the making of this video, the expressions, the looks on the face of the master and servants are all excellent. My sincere appreciation to all who are behind the making of this video.... God bless u abundantly..... Please do make more videos for GODS GLORY. .......VERY VERY EXCELLENT USE OF UR TALENTS AS WELL :-)

[@abdulwahed9728]

my understanding, God give us everything in this world, and he wants that this things we will use to do good, so that we can inheret the kingdom of God.the three servants represent kinds of people living in this world. the rich, midle rich and the poor..

[@beinghuman6985]

First of all you have to understand the "currency" of God and "currency" of Human standards are different. Our physical body makes us think What the master gave the servants was money. Secondly you must understand Jesus Christ gave only two commandments "Love your God with all your heart and do to others whatever you expect from them" - Agape - Love without condition - A condition which a human being can never ever think . Have not you see God loves the good and the bad in this world? God have shown his Love - he has given Love which is the currency of God. But are we showing "love" to others without any conditions?? Jesus Christ told us to "love our Enemies" But are we even loving our friends??? Then how can we DOUBLE AND TRIPLE the talent which he gave us??? Our Lord Jesus Christ gave and showed us Supreme love for us " to die for others" . "I love you and I died for your sins"!~!!!!! Does a husband love his wife or a wife love her husband like that?? NOTE - Parables are all stories of salvation - to attain eternal life!! NOTE - Money and investing money will make you rich ( and maybe happy - maybe!) in this world but has nothing to do with eternal life! NOTE - Showing and doubling the gifts given by our Lord may make you popular ( maybe singing.... maybe dancing,,,,maybe sports) but it has nothing to do with eternal life. It makes you personally rich or personally popular among others. NOTE- Like the MASTER IN THE ABOVE STORY our Lord Jesus Christ has promised he will be back and he will be back~!!!!! LOVE!!!! LOVE OTHERS....HELP OTHERS....UNCONDITIONALLY....THEN THAT LOVE WILL INCREASE....

[@antoniogombo6209]

very true

[@bench175]

The bags represent gods love and mercy. The "poor" guy was given less, but he had love only for himself without investing it in others, so he was punished.

[@SameSemu]

[@carollediane7426]

there are people who have receive many gifts from God(certain abilities) than others God expect us to use our abilities nomatter how little it seems to be of great help in our society

[@sammynio6263]

This video shows you must show your talents to god

[@gregbreedlove8168]

This parable is primarily about faithfulness not the increase. All three were given large sums of money. Even 1 talent would be approx. 30K in today's money. The point of the parable is to be faithful with what God has given

[@jlabeats]

God will use whomever God pleases to build His Kingdom. When I perform on the subways rappin I make sure I say that a young rapper died in a car accident cuz he was drinking with his buddies after being signed onto a record label. I don't sugarcoat anything like Jesus' teachings. Use your gifts to build God's Kingdom cuz God's children will not be hidden from the way the truth and the life, Jesus Christ! If you dont, God can give your gifts to someone else whom God entrusts. Choose now!

[@MrMigz099]

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

I'm not really sure what it means, but I think it means we should go and try and help bring others to Jesus.

[@oreoluwasanni9616]

+Lisa White I actually means be grateful with what you have , God only gives you what you can handle .

[@studmalexy]

of course that's what It means. did you know if you start with 1 righteous man who "doubles" his talents like the righteous servant here (winning another to the lord), then after each generation of "spiritual reproduction" 1,2,4,,8,16,32,64...etc after 33 generations only!,youd have over 8 billion believers in Christ!!

[@studmalexy]

no..God puts his "deposit" or "investment" of his spirit in you,,and at the end he expect a "full return on his deposit/investment". He will take back what is rightfully his, and unless you multiply/invest what he has empowered you, anything that is not "conformed" to the image/likeness of Christ will be "cast out". Grow your investment and in doing so, you are "conforming" to the image likeness of Christ by being spiritually "fruitful and multiplying". And that of your soul which is conformed to Christ will be saved/preserved.

[@ashwinth_fredrick]

We should multiply what we have

[@jlabeats]

Praise the Lord!

[@SameSemu]

The best video. I like

[@emilyg8306]

wonderful videos.....great for kids.. love to share to our children ministry

[@Omnitermniator]

This is amazing!

[@arlenemontreal4893]

nice: the first and second servant did a very good job! they used their given talents to prosper while the third servant lazy. the master got back the talent from the 3rd servant who didn't do anything and gave it to the servant who did well. the lesson more blessings from GOD if we use wisely what is given to us do not be idle work and we shall eat!

[@johnheavener8467]

This is the only parable that actually sticks with me for some reason. I thought the message was to get rich.

[@juansanabria6804]

okay so we should use our God given talents for good purposes and share the good news of salvation with everyone am i missing something happy to learn as much as possible.

[@RodTheNey]

Hi Frecheszinho, The film was made using, 3dsmax, After Effects, Photoshop and ArtRage. Although if you want something more affordable (ie: free) search for a program called Blender 3D. Hope that's useful to you!

[@studmalexy]

where can I buy this computer game?

[@rammyswonderfulwordoffunle5699]

I dont like the faces but I like the animation God bless you!

[@Maniac1607]

So those of us who've been preached to about how harsh God can be will be punished for being brought up that way? That MIGHT be okay if those preachers who portrayed God that way would be punished alongside us, but there's no guarantee of that, is there?

[@yusi_nonongan]

The talent could be also undertand as faith that God gave us, we should multiply faith so other can know Jesus more.

[@studmalexy]

yes,,he puts his "spirit" in us (which is like the talents). This is his "deposit" or "investment" in us that should motivate us to win others to the lord and grow in the spirit. At the end he will expect his "deposit" and "investment" paid back(in full)….and if we don't "grow" as a result of this investment, we will have nothing left worthy of redemption This is actually a "blend"of Calvinism and Arminianism. We are "once saved,always saved" as we are sealed with the investment in Gods spirit. But anything not conforming to the image/likeness of Christ will have to be "cast out". Hence why its important to grow our talents so that we have something left to redeem!

[@citizensofheavenministries]

🔥Amazing gift! Let’s connect for the Lord, prayerfully needing help to create animation for Jesus and the Word of God…

The point of the parable is not the literal meaning. Jesus gave us parables because they were symbolic of spiritual things. Although, the foolish will see it with a hard heart and turn away.

[@juansanabria6804]

excellent cartoon animation i neglected to say previously. we must redeem the time as the apostle paul says in the scriptures for the days are evil and our time is running out.we all know that God is loving and compassionate and we know that the alternative place to heaven is a place of horror of horrors with un ending torment and agony . for those who go there even worse shall be that from where they are they will see the heaven that they missed out on and that will be FOREVER. we expect justice from our earthly judges other wise they are not just . so too its important that we share the one TRUE GOD OF LOVE and the redemption that is offered in christ jesus blood before before the lost will have to face a HOLY GOD AS THEIR JUDGE. peace to all.

I have never understood this one. The bible says we cant earn our salvation but this says we must perform to get into heaven.

[@caledoniatardivo8537]

annikahailey This is a lesson on using our talents, how to use them appropriately and the consequences of not using them, in order to expand God's kingdom and to bring glory to His name, through our talents - " let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven", the KJB.

[@godlyobedience6012]

✨Well done✨

[@cruelsuit1]

Jesus was speaking privately to His disciples He knew that some of His disciples were better at understanding His word. Matt 13:11-12 and 13:23 illustrate this. In the parable of the talents Jesus is the master, the far country is Heaven, the disciples are the servants, the talents represent the different levels of spiritual understanding of the disciples, the return is the second coming, and the profits gained are Christian converts gained in lands where Jesus did not preach. Judas gained zero.

[@dgedawesome1]

Can someone help? I had a strong passion for competitive gaming, but it became an idol and just a mess. I felt convicted by God that this was not really doing good, and I ignored that. Later on after the game was taking a toll on me because I cared too much about winning and stuff like that, I felt God convicting me again and I quit, broke the game disc even. It has been close to a month since I have quit, it has been good for me and my relationship with God, but I still have a desire to play, I feel like there's a talent here. It is the only thing I've done that I have been passionate about really, and I think it could be a great field for God's glory. I feel like if I try to go back though that I will just idolize it again, but I can't help but think of what could be if I do not. There are so many people I interact with daily through the game, and so many opportunities for God's glory. I don't know if God wants me here though, I just don't know. For the past month, with the exception of a short vacation and friends, I have done nothing. I have been staying at home, growing with God, but still just staying at home not doing much. I am looking for what God wants me to do with my life, I'm just not sure what it is. I have been good with film/editing, but I have no passion for that anymore. I just don't know if I should give the game a shot, or just keep waiting for something to show up that I am passionate for and is good for God

[@woblee1084]

I had to do the same thing brother.ofcoarse your going to ask did I realy need to do that. But it was done for a reason u just can't see why.

[@dgedawesome1]

woblee Ok I understand. What happened with you?

[@valerietian9759]

maybe that desire is a temptation for you to continue gaming and ruin your relationship with God once more. if playing keeps you from your prayers or from your religious activities, then it clearly is a temptation, by the devil, to prevent you from praying and the like. i went through your situation before. i got addicted to this app that i spent so much time on it that i didnt even notice the time pass and because of that, i missed my daily routine of prayer. realizing that it has affected my prayer life negatively and that it has strained my relationship w/ my dad, i stopped and never played it again...and i was free from its bondage! but im not saying that playing games is a bad activity, but if it leads you to live a less Christian life, like, in competitive gaming, you could get frustrated at your opponent and curse at them or trash talk them or if your too addicted to games, you could damage your relationship with your family because you spend less time with them and the like....

[@tonycruise]

+DEW Prods dont be like the guy who didnt invest his talents and tried to keep them hidden away, God will be disappointed if when he returns you havent improved your skillset, the message of this story is to give back things in better condition than they were given to you, now gaming is hard to become professional but you have to not just play but see it like your job if you really wanna go places with it, work a job and invest into gaming equipment

[@RodTheNey]

We often read this passage and worry that we're not doing enough stuff, but on my view, what Jesus is not concerned so much with productivity as becoming Godly people: The wicked servant hears the good news and doesn't let it change him, the good servant hears God's word and lets it bear fruit in his life, and this pleases God greatly.

[@johnmelber1205]

+RodTheNey thx

[@gongoozleriam9783]

Notice the size of the bags. They're not all the same to begin with. We each have different capacities and abilities. Christ wants us to do what we can with what we have, be better than we were to begin with. Not do as much or better than others. Christ cares about our progression, He knows where we're coming from and what were capable of. He doesn't want us to compare ourselves with others, but rather with who we once were. We get credit for trying. The last guy was fearful and didn't even try. Making an effort is what matters, our best effort, not someone else's. Christ knows what we're capable of so He's the best judge of our efforts.

[@studmalexy]

did you know if you start with 1 righteous man who "doubles" his talents like the righteous servant here (winning another to the lord), then after each generation of "spiritual reproduction". 1,2,4,,8,16,32,64...etc after 33 generations only!,youd have over 8 billion believers in Christ!! Do the math...do 1 x 2 (33 times) This is the POWER of our word as a "seed planted" in others. And this is an amazing blessing kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXSTnIWbntV8iqM So take HOPE and motivation that we can "overcome" and win this spiritual battle and "seedline war" against Satan/his seed and the rulers of this world.

[@studmalexy]

we have all, at one point, not done as much as we can....but remember "doubling" your talent was sufficient to please the lord.. if everybody did that after 33 "spiritual generations" youd have 8 BILLION believers (such is the power of compound interest) IDK about you but that fills me with HOPE!. I don't want just 2 people following me...I want to "convert" hundreds!(who can then in turn convert and "seed" others as they grow in the faith and one day bear fruit) Its an organic process.....you start as a sapling and have o grow to maturity first before you bear fruit. So don't beat yourself up!...remember his word, remember his promises and GROW first (that you may later bear fruit)

I don't understand why he gave both of the guys alot of money but the third guy? someone know y??

[@beinghuman6985]

First of all you have to understand the "currency" of God and "currency" of Human standards are different. Our physical body makes us think What the master gave the servants was money. Secondly you must understand Jesus Christ gave only two commandments "Love your God with all your heart and do to others whatever you expect from them" - Agape - Love without condition - A condition which a human being can never ever think . Have not you see God loves the good and the bad in this world? God have shown his Love - he has given Love which is the currency of God. But are we showing "love" to others without any conditions?? Jesus Christ told us to "love our Enemies" But are we even loving our friends??? Then how can we DOUBLE AND TRIPLE the talent which he gave us??? Our Lord Jesus Christ gave and showed us Supreme love for us " to die for others" . "I love you and I died for your sins"!~!!!!! Does a husband love his wife or a wife love her husband like that?? NOTE - Parables are all stories of salvation - to attain eternal life!! NOTE - Money and investing money will make you rich ( and maybe happy - maybe!) in this world but has nothing to do with eternal life! NOTE - Showing and doubling the gifts given by our Lord may make you popular ( maybe singing.... maybe dancing,,,,maybe sports) but it has nothing to do with eternal life. It makes you personally rich or personally popular among others. NOTE- Like the MASTER IN THE ABOVE STORY our Lord Jesus Christ has promised he will be back and he will be back~!!!!! LOVE!!!! LOVE OTHERS....HELP OTHERS....UNCONDITIONALLY....THEN THAT LOVE WILL INCREASE....

hi bro, please could you tell me what programmes did you use to make this videos? I like your cartoons, congrats from Portugal! ps:will be waiting for an answer, God Bless

[@Paristalon]

Thank you for your invitation Greg. I am listening now. I feel drawn to the sincerity I hear in your voice. Your message is well spoken and much needed. Thank you for your insight. May I suggest an additional meaning of the word "Talent". Is it possible that Talent could be synonymous with the phrase "Free will"? Could free will be the currency of the family of God? The faithful or unfaithful investment of free will brings naturally amplified returns.

I don't have a talent or i don't discovered it yet i don't know :k

[@DerekPK]

My talent is listening.

[@ednaabichuela8307]

[@RodTheNey]

Fixed - thanks!

[@chun_chun4342]

Can you make a video about the parable of the hidden treasure?

[@Paristalon]

Your scriptural theme is inconsistent with the theme of the video. It seems a God of Love would neither enslave nor cast away so easily. The master in this video clip seems so arrogant. Perhaps I am missing some of the context.
