John Davies: Notes from a small vicar

The parable of the man who liked to dig


Listen Later

This Parable of the Man who Liked to Dig is an upside-down version of the story which usually gets called the Parable of the Talents. It invites us to ask the question, what if this parable is about being happy not to spend your life striving for wealth and prestige?

A talk for The Second Sunday before Advent, 19 November 2023. 

Referencing ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Zephaniah 1.7,12-18, Psalm 90.1-12, Matthew 25.14-30.
