In today's episode we will read through and study the famous parable of the talents. This parable today, helps us understand what it means to be ready for His return and how we should be doing it.

We continue in Matthew 25 where Jesus speaks of the judgment of the nations. This judgment is based on the evidence of how the nations treat the believing Jewish brethren during the great tribulation. This judgment occurs after our Lord has returned to the earth to reign in His kingdom.In Mat.25:41-46, Jesus next judges the goats on His left hand based on the actions and character of those nations. They either did or did not minister to Jesus' Jewish brethren during their persecutions.These goats on the left hand, did not support the persecuted Jews.In withholding support for these, they were not ministering to Jesus Himself during those days.Matthew writes these words, for the 5th and last time, “when Jesus had finished these sayings”.This ends Jesus' teachings before His crucifixion.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 25:41.

How is your spiritual oil supply? Rev Sam Bostock examines the well-known parable. Luke 2 vs 1 - 14; Matthew 25 vs 1 - 13

Lucas da Costa is joined by the children as they think about Matthew 25.

In Matthew 25 with the sheep and goats judgments, Jesus expresses His personal and intimate relationship to His brethren. This is apparent in His own words found in this passage. The Lord's brethren in this passage are the Jewish believers during the great tribulation. And whatever will be done to or for these His brethren will be done to Him. He takes it personally.Our Lord Jesus expresses this same intimate relationship with the body of Christ, the church.Jesus confronted Saul who was persecuting the church asking “Saul, Saul, Why are you persecuting Me. And he said to Him, Who are you lord? And He said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting”. Acts 9:4-5Jesus is intimately connected to His people even during their persecutions. Turn to Matthew 25:31 as Dr. Mitchell walks us through verses 31-40 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

A sermon from Matthew 25:31–46 preached on December 21, 2025, by Nathan Lugbill.

Our Lord speaks of the Judgment of the nations which occurs after the great tribulation and after the 2nd coming of Christ, the Son of Man to the earth. But first, Dr. Mitchell explains 5 judgments found in Scripture. 1. The judgment of sin thru Christ on the cross 1Peter 2:242. The judgment of believers, known as divine discipline or chastisement either for sin or for spiritual growth and education. Heb.123. The judgment of believer's works at the Bema seat. 1Cor.34. The judgment of the living nations seen here in Matthew 25.5. The judgment of the unsaved at the great white throne. Rev.20Dr. Mitchell explains these five separate judgments before moving into Matthew 25 verses 31 thru 46.Helping us to grow in the knowledge of truth, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 25:31.

We are in Matthew 25:14-30, the third parable of Jesus concerning the kingdom of heaven.Once again, we see the question of faithfulness to the Lord. He gives to each one according his own ability. In view of His coming, each one is called to be faithful to the Lord and He will reward each one accordingly. Two of the servants received the same commendation and the same reward and the same joy of the Lord.But the worthless and faithless servant received no commendation or reward or joy.So, Dr. Mitchell gives a short overview of 5 judgments in Scripture before examining this judgment of the sheep and goats. Helping us to grow in faithfulness till the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, here's Dr. Mitchell, Mt.25:14-30.

By William Bradford - This is the twelfth and final part of a mid-week Bible study series covering Christ's fifth discourse in the book of Matthew.

Jesus has been stressing to us the importance of being faithful and being ready for Him when He comes. Today, He will give us the parable of the 10 virgins and why five of them were wise and five of them were foolish.

Chapter 25 of Matthew, verses 1 thru 13 begins the parable of the ten virgins. Five were wise and five were foolish. They were waiting for the bridegroom to come so as to accompany him to the marriage to His bride. There was a period of sleeping followed by a shout of awakening. 1Thess.5:4-5: “So let us not sleep as the others do, but let us keep awake and sober.” Rom.13:11 “..the hour has come to awake out of sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.” Dr. Mitchell asks, What is our attitude to be concerning the coming of our Lord? Is it one of daily expectation? Helping us to grow in the expectation of the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, here's Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 25:1

A sermon from Matthew 25:14–30 preached on December 14, 2025, by Nathan Lugbill.

By William Bradford - This is the eleventh part of a mid-week Bible study series covering Christ's fifth discourse in the book of Matthew.

Send me a Text Message!My teaching series at Calvary is called, "One Christmas." It's all about getting Christmas right, if we only had one Christmas left before we meet the hero of Christmas face to face, how would we shape this Christmas?If Christmas is the love story of God, how do we respond? How can we practically and tangibly love Jesus this Christmas? That's what this episode is all about!

Tom Watts Series: He's coming back Matthew 25:14-30 St John's Downshire Hill - Sunday 7th December 2025

Rev. Dr. Tassie Green, Interim Senior Pastor

Send me a Text Message!When I ponder Christmas, and this story that Jesus told in Matthew 25, well let me turn it a bit and say this first of all. If you find yourself in need, if you find yourself in "least of these" kind of way, Jesus is so close. This story is a Christmas word of hope to every person listening who feels helpless, hopeless or homeless.  Jesus said, whenever you serve the least of these, you served me.  If you find yourself today in a least of these kind of way, Jesus is so close.  He identifies with you.  He sees you. He knows you. He loves you.But this story is also a challenge for all of us, even those of us who find ourselves in a "least of these" kind of way, to look for Jesus in face of those around us who are broken and in need. In fact I might say it like this, "Your neighbor in need might be the only Jesus you see this Christmas." 

Send me a Text Message!Lee Stroebel shares a Christmas story that ends with this summary. And at that moment, something inside of me wanted desperately to know this Jesus because, in a sense, I saw him in Perfecta and her granddaughters.  They had peace despite poverty, while I had anxiety despite plenty; they knew the joy of generosity, while I only knew the loneliness of ambition; they looked heavenward for hope, while I only looked out for myself; they experienced the wonder of the spiritual, while I was shackled to the shallowness of the material and something made me long for what they had. Or, more accurately, for the One they knew.In this episode, I'll tell their story, so that we can add to our Christmas prayer, "Come Lord Jesus and give me a heart like Grandma Perfecta!"

Matthew 25

In this episode Adam, Brett, and Jason continue a series studying Article 6 of the Formula of Concord by doing a Bible Study on Matthew 25:31-40.

Full-chapter, Jesus-centered Advent readings, rooted in themes of longing, preparation, incarnation, and hope. Each passage invites joyful anticipation of Christ's coming. May this daily rhythm of listening to God's Word shape your heart in this season of waiting

This sermon looks at Jesus' Parable of the Talents and reminds us that God has entrusted each of us with unique gifts, opportunities, and moments that truly matter. Instead of living with fear or comparison, we're invited into joyful faithfulness—trusting that what God has placed in our hands is purposeful and that He delights in our obedience. Through this teaching, we're strengthened to step forward with courage, confidence, and hope, knowing that God is at work in and through our lives as we honor Him with what we've been given.

We are called to prepare ourselves for the Bridegroom's return, for when He returns in all His splendid glory, the hope of His arrival and the great marriage feast will become reality. 

How does Jesus call us to live between His comings? In this sermon on the Parable of the Talents, we explore how God's generous grace frees us to steward our unique vocation with confidence, courage and faithful joy.

Today’s Bible Verse:“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” — Matthew 25:40 (NIV) Matthew 25:40 reframes every act of kindness as something far bigger than we realize. Jesus reminds us that compassion shown to others—especially the overlooked and hurting—is compassion shown to Him. Our small, quiet acts of service become sacred moments in God’s eyes. When we choose generosity, mercy, and presence, we step directly into the heart of Christ’s mission, reflecting His love in ways that matter eternally.

Jesus offers His final, apocalyptic teaching before His passion: the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats. The Son of Man sits on His glorious throne and separates all nations. The righteous "sheep" are welcomed into the kingdom because of their faith, illustrated by their unconscious acts of mercy. The cursed "goats" are sent to eternal fire for their failure to see and serve Christ in "the least of these." This passage reveals that while we're saved by faith alone, faith is never alone. It is made visible in our love for our neighbor.  The Rev. Matthew Kusch, pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church in Elgin, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 25:31-46.  To learn more about King of Glory, visit kogelgin.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
