Questions about the story and its meaning
• Who is represented by the characters in the story? Who is the master, and who are the three servants? What does the long delay of the master's return symbolize?
• What do the "talents" represent? What types of gifts, abilities, resources, and opportunities has God entrusted to you?
• Why did the master give different amounts of money to each servant? How does the phrase "each according to his ability" (v. 15) challenge us to avoid comparing our gifts with others?
• How did the first two servants show their trustworthiness? What do their actions reveal about their view of the master? Why did they receive the same praise and reward despite beginning with different amounts?
Questions about the fearful servant
• Why did the servant with one talent bury his master's money? What do his words in verses 24–25 reveal about his attitude towards his master and his own fears?
• Was the fearful servant's description of his master accurate?The master's rebuttal in verse 26 seems to echo the servant's own words. How does this highlight the servant's failure?
• What does this parable teach us about the danger of inaction? Is simply not doing anything with God's gifts a justifiable option, or is it a form of disobedience?
• Do you think the servant's severe punishment was fair? What does his fate ("cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness") tell us about the consequences of spiritual laziness?
Questions for modern application
• What does "working for the Master" look like in your life? How can you apply the lessons of this parable to your job, your volunteer work, or your family life?
• What are some of the "what ifs" that stop you from using your gifts faithfully? How can you overcome the fear of failure and step into greater faithfulness?
• How do you typically feel when you are waiting? What does "waiting well" look like in our current situations while we anticipate the Master's return?
• What are some ways we "bury" our talents today? This could involve money, time, spiritual gifts, or opportunities to serve.
• The faithful servants were invited to "enter into the joy of your lord" (v. 21). How does using your gifts for God's purposes connect with your own sense of joy and purpose?
