20. The New Testament Scripture
Matthew 25:14-23
Read by Ann Buyze
The Kingdom of Heaven will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To 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.

21. The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The 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.’ His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant!’

22. You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.' His 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!'

23. BIND US TOGETHER: #425 Bind us together, Lord,
Bind us together with cords
that cannot be broken;
Bind us together, Lord;
Bind us together with love.

24. There is only one God;
There is only one King;
There is only one body;
That is why we can sing:
Bind us together, Lord;
Bind us together with cords
that cannot be broken;
Bind us together with love.

Take My Life

Take my moments
and my days
Let them flow
In ceaseless praise,
In ceaseless praise.

At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet
and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Always, only for my King;
Take my lips

Filled with messages

Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every power

my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only,
all for Thee;
all for Thee.

It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart –
it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne;
It shall be Thy royal throne.
