God has entrusted every believer with time, talent, and opportunity. One day, the Master will return to settle accounts.

God has entrusted every believer with gifts, abilities, and opportunities — but what are you doing with what you've got? In this powerful message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, discover the life-changing truths from Jesus' Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25. Some invest what God gives them and see it multiply for His glory, while others bury their blessings in fear or apathy. One day, the Master will return to settle accounts. Will He find you faithful with what He's placed in your hands?

Genesis 43-44; 19 Psalms 50-51; 40 Matthew 25

Salvation isn't something you can borrow or inherit—it's personal. In this powerful message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, learn why secondhand faith won't save anyone. Just as the foolish virgins in Jesus' parable tried to borrow oil for their lamps, many today try to rely on a parent's faith, a church background, or religious activity instead of a real relationship with Christ. But when the Bridegroom comes, borrowed faith won't do. Discover what it truly means to be born again and to have the Holy Spirit living within you.

Genesis 42-43; Psalms 45-47; Matthew 25

Jesus said the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom—five wise and five foolish. In this eye-opening message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, discover what the Parable of the Ten Virgins teaches about true salvation and spiritual readiness. Some were prepared with oil in their lamps; others thought they could borrow from someone else. But when the midnight cry rang out—“Behold, the Bridegroom is coming!”—it was too late to get ready. Don't wait until the door is shut. Be wise, be watchful, and be ready for the coming of the King!

Executive Pastor, Dr. Stephen Trammell, shares that the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 reveals how believers can live meaningfully while anticipating Christ's return. God entrusts each person with resources according to their abilities, expecting faithful stewardship rather than fearful inaction. Two servants doubled their investments through wise action, while one buried his talent out of fear and misunderstanding of his master's character. Faithfulness requires both faith and action across all areas of life - finances, relationships, health, and spiritual growth. God will reward those who prove faithful during this time between Christ's first and second coming. Your belief determines where you spend eternity, but your behavior determines how you spend eternity.

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 25:14–30 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!

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." 

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.

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.
