In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

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.
In this picture of the Last Judgment, Jesus speaks to those who served him in the least of his brothers and those who didn't. What does this reveal about judgment? What does this reveal about how closely we identify with Jesus? Image: Last Judgment (Ravenna), photo by Jim Forest, no changes made, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.

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.

Jesus will return when the Father sends him back to establish His earthly kingdom. We do not know the day or hour. Until he returns, we are to be about His business on earth. He will reward His beloved based on the good works of faith they have done and punish those who have faithlessly not served him.

11-2-2025Will Dyer reflects on the parable of the talents from Matthew 25:14-30, emphasizing its relevance to the present rather than the afterlife. They highlight the generosity of God and the responsibility of individuals and the church to use their gifts to serve others and further God's kingdom. Will Dyer critiques the tendency to hoard blessings and calls for a shift from scarcity to generosity, urging the congregation to actively share their resources, talents, and love to address spiritual and physical needs in the community. They celebrate the church's recent achievements, including becoming debt-free and allocating funds for missions, while encouraging personal reflection on how each individual can contribute to multiplying God's blessings. The message concludes with a prayer for boldness, gratitude, and a commitment to living with a heart of thanksgiving and service.

Fr. Mike explains sins of omission, and how these are some of the biggest deciding factors of who goes to heaven and who goes to hell: whether or not we did good works God called us to. He also reminds us that not all of the New Testament parables are universally relevant, recalling the parable of the talents and the parable of the wise and foolish maidens. Today's readings are Matthew 25-26 and Proverbs 19:21-24. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
