Podcasts about faithful servant

In Episode 229, we explore Luke 12:41-48 and Jesus' parable of the faithful and unfaithful servants. Peter asks a great question that opens the door to one of Jesus' most personal and searching teachings: "Lord, is that illustration just for us or for everyone?" And Jesus answers with a parable that makes it personal for every single one of us—regardless of our role, our position, or our level of spiritual maturity. Through guided meditation, discover the two servants Jesus describes. Both have been given responsibility. Both know what the master wants. But they respond in completely opposite ways when the master is away. The first servant is faithful and sensible. He does his job. He feeds the other servants. He manages well. He doesn't need the master's presence to motivate his faithfulness—he simply does what he was called to do, day after day, in the ordinary and unseen moments. And when the master returns—whenever that is—he's found doing exactly what he was supposed to be doing. The reward is staggering: the master puts him in charge of everything he owns. The second servant makes a dangerous assumption that changes everything: "My master won't be back for a while." And that single assumption—that the master's return is distant and therefore his accountability is suspended—leads to complete moral collapse. He starts abusing his position. He mistreats the other servants. He parties. He loses himself in comfort and self-indulgence. And when the master returns—unexpectedly, as masters always do—he's found doing exactly the opposite of what he was supposed to be doing. The contrast is stark and the principle is unmistakable: faithfulness is not about what you do when the master is watching. It's about what you do when you think he isn't. This episode explores what this means for your life. Jesus then delivers the line that should make every one of us pause and examine ourselves: "When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required." We have been given much. We have the complete Scriptures. We have the Holy Spirit living inside us. We have access to Jesus through prayer, through community, through two thousand years of His faithfulness recorded and available to us. We have been entrusted with relationships, with influence, with resources, with spiritual gifts, with callings. And with all of that comes responsibility. Not to perform for approval or to earn the master's favor—but to be faithful with what we've been entrusted, whether or not anyone is watching. Learn how to identify the specific responsibility God has entrusted to you that you've been neglecting—the relationship you've been ignoring, the spiritual discipline you've let slide, the calling you've been putting off, the stewardship you've been managing poorly—because no one has been holding you accountable. Discover what it means to be faithful in the unseen moments, and find the motivation that comes not from fear of punishment but from love for the Master and the desire to be found doing what He called you to do when He returns.

Devotion : Ezra 8:1-36 / A Faithful Servant by Community Lutheran Church

Pastor Steve BootsJune 28, 2026Sunday Evening Service

John 3:22-36

Faithful Servant. What is it to be a faithful server. A faithful man. A faithful woman, a faithful person in the community. How does the gospel see them and describe them in our Gospel Reflection (Matthew 12:22-37).

God is faithful to His people, even when they have been unfaithful to Him. We'll see this truth in today's study in Isaiah 50 as we study an amazing prophecy of Jesus which proves, not only that He is the promised king, but that He would also suffer for His people and won't divorce them even though they have been unfaithful to their covenant with Him. Join us today in our study in Isaiah 50!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    The overarching theme of Isaiah 49-57 is that of the "Suffering Servant". Think back to our study, yesterday, in Isaiah 49. What were some ways that Isaiah 49 prophesied that the Servant would suffer for His people?  2.    Read Isaiah 50:1. What is the item that the Lord is asking about? What is His point in asking for this? What did the Lord tell Israel in Jeremiah 3:8? How did the podcast explain the juxtaposition of Isaiah 50:1 and Jeremiah 3:8? 3.    In verses 2 & 3, could the Lord carry out the salvation of His people? If so, why "was there no man when..." the Lord came to His people? What does that phrase even mean? Why was there no one to obey the Lord? 4.    In verse 4, once again the Servant is speaking (we know this because the word "GOD" is in all caps, indicating that "GOD" was the Lord and now His servant is speaking). What is the Servant's message for His people in verses 4 & 5? Why do you think He won't "turn back"? How was this evident throughout Jesus' ministry? How is this different from the lack of obedience in the people in verses 2 &3? 5.    What was the Servant's obedience to the Lord in verses 5 &6? What was the price of Jesus' obedience to the Father? How was this obedience demonstrated in Jesus' earthly life? What cost was there in Jesus' obedience? 6.    Read over verses 7-9, how do these verses portray the trust that the Servant has for the Lord? What kind of resolve does this trust strengthen Him with? Read 1st Peter 2:23. How did Peter portray Jesus' trust in the Father? Why is it hard to trust the Father like this, when life doesn't seem to go our way? 7.     Verse 10 calls out to the people to join with the Servant. What should those who walk in darkness do? What does it mean to call upon the Lord? How does Romans 10:13 echo a similar exhortation?  8.    In verse 11, how is a person making their own fire an analogy for manmade religion? In our day and age, how do people seek to provide their own "light"? In verse 11, what is the ultimate fate of those who will not leave their manmade religion and obey the Lord? What torment do you think is being spoken of here? 9.    Think about how you respond to God's message. Are these just words on a paper? Are these just theological ideas to know? Or are these words God's message to you to gather to Him, with His people, that you might be numbered among those in His kingdom?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

60-Matthew 25;14-30 "A Good and Faithful Servant" by BerkeleyUBF

Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30 Date: May 31, 2026 In this sermon, Warren Harvey continues a series on Matthew 24–25 and focuses on the parable of the talents in Matthew 25. He explains the parable in the context of Jesus' return and says it calls believers not only to watchfulness, but also to faithful service while waiting.The sermon describes the master as Christ and the servants as those in his household, with the talents representing resources God entrusts according to ability. It emphasizes that God expects his people to use what they have been given in faith, rather than bury it out of fear.The pastor also highlights the reward for faithfulness, which is the master's commendation and greater responsibility in his presence. He closes by warning against neglecting God's gifts and by connecting the parable to Jesus' own perfect faithfulness in death and resurrection. Topics: Matthew 24–25, parable of the talents, Matthew 25, Jesus' return, watchfulness, faithful service, Christ, talents, faithfulness, resurrection

1 Thessalonians 2:1-8 | May 17, 2026 | Albert TingPersonal Reflection Questions:1. What gives you boldness in sharing the gospel?2. When would you be tempted to please men, instead of pleasing God?3. Why does the Gospel Ambassador need to be gentle as a nursing mother? What does this role tell you about the relationship between the Gospel Ambassador and those under his or her care?

Some of radio's funniest performers trade skits for Suspense in radio thrillers starring the cast of The Jack Benny Program. This collection of regular players and recurring guest stars kept audiences in stitches on Sunday nights but had listeners on the edge of their seats when "radio's outstanding theater of thrills" came on the air.  We'll hear Joseph Kearns in "Short Order" (originally aired on CBS on August 16, 1945); Ronald Colman in "A Vision of Death" (originally aired on CBS on March 8, 1951); Phil Harris with Alice Faye in "Death on My Hands" (originally aired on CBS on May 10, 1951); Jack Benny in "A Good and Faithful Servant" (originally aired on CBS on June 2, 1952); and Dennis Day in "Like, Man, Somebody Dig Me" (originally aired on CBS on August 16, 1959.) Plus Jack Benny and his gang present their own version of Suspense (originally aired on CBS on January 6, 1952).

This week, Pastor AJ challenged us with one important question: “What are you known for?” In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul says he wanted to be known as a faithful servant of Christ, seeking the approval of God over the approval of people. We were reminded that heroes of the faith are not defined by platform or recognition, but by obedience. Just like Edward Kimball's simple faithfulness led to a ripple effect that impacted generations, our obedience to God can impact lives in ways we may never see.

"Ministry is serving, serving is ministry."- Dr. Chris Cody

We all hope that our lives make a difference to the world around us. Some of us strive to make that difference in the lives of others and others just talk about it. For those who know Jesus Christ, our goal shouldn't just be to live a good life, but to share Jesus with the world and then one day to hear the words of God our master when He says, "Well done good and faithful servant" On today's program, we will hear about the life of a friend that gave most of his life to point others to Christ through the Outdoors and especially through archery.

The Faithful Servant | Isaiah 50.4-10 by Christ Church Presbyterian

Raj Prakash Paul || The Lord's Church India

There are six words every Christian longs to hear from Jesus. This Sunday, we come to the parable that says it repeatedly. But why? Some rich man invests in three different people. The first two guys double their resources, so they get affirmed and rewarded with even more. But the guy who doesn't... weeping and gnashing... outer darkness. It's hard not to project American capitalism onto the Parable of the Talents, especially since we swim in a culture of 'you-are-what-you-produce.' But that would be an anachronistic, soul-eroding mistake. Just last week, Elon Musk said "whoever said 'money cannot buy happiness' really knew what they were talking about." So why does Jesus tell a story about making sure we get a good return on his investments? How would that lead to 'entering the joy of our Master'? Let's talk about "Well Done, Good & Faithful Servant" Matthew 25:14-30

A lesson on the servant Tychicus and how he is a great example to follow. Can we help you with your walk with God? We'd love to hear from you! https://www.thebibleway.com/contact. 

Think your gifts aren't “spiritual” enough? In this episode, we talk with Christy about comparison, purpose, and why your quiet obedience might be exactly what the Kingdom needs.

What does it mean to be a good and faithful servant? Dave catches a key detail in the Parable of the Talents: God doesn't give us all the same amount of talents. God will never give us more than we can handle, while at the same time, God sees something more in us than anyone else ever can, including ourselves! Our goal is to use our talents to glorify the Lord so that we can hear at the end of our lives, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” We want to hear from you!

Suspense enters its final decade on the air and loses its longtime sponsor as our journey through the years of the show continues. Between 1952 and 1954, Elliott Lewis remained at the helm of the series and continued to present compelling dramas, but the rise of television and the loss of Autolite's financial support left Suspense in a transition period by the middle of the decade. We'll hear my favorite shows from this three year run: Deborah Kerr is a jewel thief out for revenge against her old partner in “The Lady Pamela” (originally aired on CBS on March 31, 1952). Jack Benny celebrates his retirement with a robbery in “A Good and Faithful Servant” (originally aired on June 2, 1952). Frank Lovejoy fights to free his hometown from the oppressive grip of criminals in “The Frightened City” (originally aired on CBS on November 10, 1952). Joseph Kearns tries to commit an experiment in objective murder in “The Earth is Made of Glass” (originally aired on CBS on June 17, 1954). And finally, John Dehner sets out to prove he cannot be killed in “The Last Letter of Dr. Bronson” (originally aired on CBS on November 4, 1954).

June 2, 1952 - Jack Benny Stars in this episode of Suspense where he plays a faithful clerk who tries to steal $50,000.

On this special episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock discusses the atrocious assassination of Charlie Kirk, the young, outspoken conservative leader of Turning Point USA. Whitlock honors Kirk as the “good and faithful servant” Jesus Christ praises in Scripture and shows how Kirk's death reaffirms the word of the gospel that says truth-tellers “wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities.” Whitlock also argues that the “both sides” argument is dead, as the radical leftists who celebrate Kirk's murder are not at all similar to conservatives who embrace a biblical worldview. Whitlock also notes how prominent members of the sports media, including Stephen A. Smith, have so far remained silent on Kirk's assassination, despite speaking out on various other politically charged issues. Whitlock analyzes the demonic forces at work in our world and why the threat to kill is ever present, with Whitlock himself having been the victim of veiled death threats from the mouth of Joy Taylor, who claimed to be a “gangster.” Jon Root and Chandler Crump join the show to discuss their memories of Kirk at TPUSA and his influence on them, and T.J. Moe, Shemeka Michelle, and Virgil Walker discuss how Kirk's bravery transformed our country. ​​Today's Sponsors: Craftco Flying Ace Whether you're winding down after a long day or raising a glass with good company, Flying Ace delivers every time.

In 1985, David Lee Roth was out and Sammy Hagar was in. One of the biggest lead singer shakeups in music history led to some of the biggest sales of Van Halen's career. It also led to more drama, to Lamborghinis and Ferraris racing through the streets of Los Angeles, to military assault vehicles storming Beverly Hills, to crazed fans and loaded guns – and at the middle of it all, a modern-day warrior, a man with a code, trying to orchestrate his own survival.
