plentiful but the workers are few.'
Matthew
25:14-30 14"Again, it will be like a
man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his
property to
them. 15To one he gave
five
talents of money, to another two talents, and
to another one talent, each according to his ability.
Then
he went on his journey. 16The
man who received the five talents went at once and put his money to
work and
gained five more. 17So
also,
the one with the two talents gained two more. 18But
the man who had received the one talent went off,
dug
a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. 19After a long time the
master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20The
man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with
five talents. See, I have gained five more.'
21His master replied, 'Well
done, good and faithful servant! You
have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many
things. Come and share your master's
happiness!' 22The man with
the
two talents also came, 'Master,' he said, 'you
entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.' 23His
master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant!
You
have been faithful with a few things; I
will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's
happiness!' 24Then the man
who
had received the one talent came. 'Master,'
he
said, 'I knew that you are a
hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you
have not
scattered seed. 25So I was
afraid and went out and hid your talent in the
ground. See, here is what belongs to
you.' 26His master
replied, 'You wicked, lazy
servant! So you knew that I harvest
where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27Well
then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that
when I
returned I would have received it back with interest.
28'Take
the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. 29For
everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an
abundance. Whoever does not have,
even what he has will be taken from him.
30And throw that worthless
servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of
teeth."
John 9: 4-5
4As long as it is day, we must
do the work of him who sent me. Night is
coming when no one can work. 5While
I am in the world, I am the
light of the world.
Colossians
3:23-24
23Whatever
you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not

is
hostile to God. It does not submit to

do so.
I

Ecclesiastes
9:11-12
11I
have seen something else under the sun:
The race is not to the swift or
the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to
the
brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them
all. 12Moreover,
no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel
net, or
birds are taken in a snare, so men are
trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.
II Timothy
2:12
If
we endure, we will also reign with
him. If we disown him, he will also
disown us.
II Timothy
4:7
I
have fought the good fight, I have finished
the race, I have kept the faith.

12:1
Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a

the sin
that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance
the race marked out for us.
John 11:9

covenant
with you.

Hebrews
3:13
But
encourage one another daily, as long as
it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sinās
deceitfulness.
Hebrews
9:26-28
26Then
Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the
world. But now he has appeared once for
all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of
himself. 27Just
as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take
away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to
bear
sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

"Many people will come and say, 'Come, let us

the sake of your name do not despise us;

8:16
These
are the things you are to do: Speak the
truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts.
Matthew
5:33
Again,
you have heard that it was said to the
people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have
made to
the Lord.'
Matthew
15:2-3
'Why
do your disciples break the tradition of
the elders? They don't wash their hands
before they eat! Jesus replied, 'And why
do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?'
Matthew
23:15
'Woe
to you, teachers of the law and
Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel
over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you
make
him twice as much a son of hell as you are.'
Romans 1:25 They exchanged
the
truth of God for a lie,
and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is
forever
praised. Amen.
Genesis
17:1
"When
Abram was ninety-nine years old, the
Lord appeared to him and said, 'I am God Almighty; walk before me and
be
blameless.'"
Genesis 2:2 By the seventh
day
God had finished the work
he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
Matthew
11:28
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you
rest."
Exodus
16:30 So
the people rested on the seventh day.
Deuteronomy
25:19
When
the Lord your God gives you rest from
all the enemies around you in the land he is giving you to possess as
an
inheritance, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!

rest
in God alone; my salvation

at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord
has been good to you.
Isaiah 57:2 Those who walk
uprightly enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.
Matthew
11:29
Take
my yoke upon you and learn from me, for
I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Hebrews
3:18
And
to whom did God swear that they would
never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
Hebrews
4:1-11
1Therefore,
since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen
short of it. 2For we also
have
had the gospel preached to us, just as they did;
but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who
heard did
not combine it with faith. 3Now
we who have believed enter that
rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They
shall
never enter my rest.'" And yet his work
has been finished since the creation of the world. 4For
somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: 'And on
the
seventh day God rested from all his work.'
5And again in the passage
above he says, 'They shall never enter my rest.' 6It
still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly
had the
gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience. 7Therefore
God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later
he spoke
through David, as was said before: 'Today,
if you hear his voice, do not harden you hearts.' 8For
if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about
another
day. 9There remains, then,
a
Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10for anyone who
enters God's rest also
rests form his own work, just as God did from his. 11Let
us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one
will fall
by following their example of disobedience.
Deuteronomy
11:19
'Teach
them to your children, talking about
them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you
lie down
and when you get up.'
Ecclesiastes
2:19
And
who knows whether he will be a wise man
or a fool? Yet he will have control over
all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless.
Isaiah 2:8 Their land is
full
of idols; they bow down to
the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
John 5:17 Jesus said to
them, 'My Father is always at
his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.'
John 6:27 'Do not work for
food that spoils, but for
food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of
approval.'
I

hands. When we are cursed, we bless;

II

your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of
it, according
to you means.

1:13
For

you do, work at it with all your
heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.

11:9-10
9Jesus

man who walks by day will not stumble, for
he sees by this worldās light. 10It
is when he walks by night that he
stumbles, for he has no light.'
James 1:19 My dear
brothers,
take note of this: Everyone
should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
II Peter
3:9 Do
not repay evil with evil or insult with
insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you
may
inherit a blessing.
Hebrews
5:11
We
have much to say about this, but it is
hard to explain because you are slow to learn.
Exodus 34:6 And he passed
in
front of Moses, proclaiming, 'The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and
gracious God, slow to anger,
abounding in love and faithfulness.'
Deuteronomy
23:21
If
you make a vow to the Lord your God, do
not be slow to pay it, for the Lord your God will certainly demand it
of you
and you will be guilty of sin.
Proverbs
22:3
Rich
and poor have this in common: The Lord
is the Maker of them all.
John 12:35 Then Jesus told
them, 'You are going to have
the light just a little while longer.
Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know
where he is going.'
II Peter
3:9 The
Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,
as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone
to
perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Psalm 89:15
'Blessed are those who have learned to
acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.'

31:13
Their
children, who do not know this law,
must hear it and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in
the
land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
Matthew
9:13 "But
go and learn what this means: 'I desire
mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not
come to call the righteous, but sinners.'
I Timothy
4:15
Be
diligent in these matters; give yourself
wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
Titus 3:14 Our people must
learn to devote themselves to
doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily
necessities and
not live unproductive lives.
II Peter
3:14
So
then, dear friends, since you are looking
forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and
at peace
with him.
Genesis
13:17 'Go,
walk through the length and breadth of
the land, for I am giving it to you.'
Hebrews
5:12-14
12In
fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to
teach
you the elementary truths of Godās word all over again.
You need milk, not solid food! 13Anyone
who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the
teaching
about righteousness. 14But
solid food is for the mature, who
by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Matthew
25:25-30
25"So
I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here
is what
belongs to you. 26His
master
replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew
that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not
scattered
seed? 27Well then, you
should
have put my money on deposit with the
bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with
interest. 28Take the talent
from him and give it to the one who has
the ten talents. 29For everyone
who has will be given more, and he will have an
abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from
him. 30And
throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there
will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.'"
Exodus
4:10-12
10Moses
said to the LORD, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the
past
nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and
tongue." 11The LORD said
to
him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him
deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the
LORD? 12Now go; I will
help you
speak and will teach you what to
say."
Proverbs
3:1-2
1My
son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, 2for they will prolong your life many
years and bring you prosperity.
Luke 8:14 The seed that
fell
among thorns stands for
those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's
worries,
riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.
Romans
12:12
Be
joyful in hope, patient in affliction,
faithful in prayer.
I
Corinthians 2:1-5 When I came to you, brothers, I
did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you
the
testimony about God. For I resolved to
know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with
much trembling. My message and my
preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a
demonstration of
the Spiritās power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom,
but on
God's power.
Hebrews
13:16
And
do not forget to do good and to share
with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

day are
evil.

nothing out of selfish ambition or vain
conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

foundation
of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God.
Ephesians
5:1 Be
imitators of God, therefore, as dearly
loved children
James 1:2-4 2Consider
it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of
your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance
must finish its work so
that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
I John
4:7-8
Dear
friends, let us love one another, for
love comes from God. Everyone who loves

when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out,
'Lord,
save me!'"
Proverbs
19:20
Listen
to advice and accept instruction, and
in the end you will be wise.
Hosea
10:12-13
12Sow
for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and
break up
your unplowed ground; for it is the time to seek the Lord, until he
comes and
showers righteousness on you. 13But
you have planted wickedness, you
have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception.
Because you have depended on your own
strength and on your many warriors.
Matthew
15:14
Leave
them; they are blind guides. If a blind
man
leads a blind man, both will
fall into a pit.

truth, whoever accepts anyone
I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.

the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;

husband, and he will rule over you."
17To Adam he said,
"Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I
commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because
of
you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18It
will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants
of the
field. 19By the sweat of
your
brow you will eat your food until you return
to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to
dust you
will return."
Psalm 55:22 'Cast your cares on the Lord and he
will sustain you; he will
never let the righteous fall.'

branches, he will not spare you either.'
