Faithful Equals Multiply

The danger isn’t always doing the wrong thing; sometimes it’s doing nothing at all. Could playing it safe be costing more than we realize?

In the story Jesus tells in Matthew 25, the servant who did nothing wrong was still called “wicked and lazy.” What does that challenge about how you’ve personally defined “faithfulness”?
The message says that in God’s view, faithfulness = multiplication. Where in your life right now are you protecting, preserving, or playing it safe instead of multiplying what God has given you?
Fear stopped the third servant from acting. What fears might be quietly keeping you from inviting, serving, giving, leading, or stepping into something that could multiply God’s work?
The sermon distinguishes between being present and being a part. What would it practically look like for you (or your family) to move from attending church to actively helping it multiply?
If you honestly evaluated the last year of your life, can you point to ways someone is closer to God because of you—directly or indirectly? If not, what needs to change this year?
