1. The master entrusted his property: in whatever we do, we are working for the King.
2. The master gave them different amounts: God gives according to his will (not equally).
3. The servants responded differently:  We are called to invest what we have been entrusted (live by faith).
4. Why did they respond the way that they did?:  The way we see the Master will determine how we respond.
5. The Consequences: We are responsible for obedience, God is responsible for the fruit of that obedience.

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." -A. W. Tozer
