The parable teaches responsibility and accountability to God for the gifts and talents He has given us. The emphasis is not on the quantity of what we produce, but on the quality and faithfulness with what we have.

The ultimate goal is to hear the commendation from the Lord, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of serving others in order to serve Jesus.
