Questions for Reflection:

1. Have you ever been responsible for someone else’s stuff/possessions? What was that like? What was your attitude at that time? Any stories you might want to tell?

2. Read the passage (Luke 19:11-27) aloud. Have a couple people in the group retell the story in their own words. Others help them out if they need help remembering details.

3. Who are the various characters in the story? Who do they represent? Who are we in the story? What does this passage tell us about each party the characters represent?

4. Brainstorm. What do you think are some things that the ‘minas’ in the story represent? What are things we have been entrusted with in life? What do you suppose God intends for us to use these for?

5. The last servant was called ‘wicked’ by the master? Why do you suppose that is? What was his attitude towards the master? Was his perception correct?

6. What would you like King Jesus to say to you when he returns? What do you suppose you might need to do in order to hear those words?

7. What is one thing God is saying to you? What will you do about it? Share this with someone else you’re in relationship with from Kettlebrook (spouse, group member that you are a part of).
