Pastor Karey shares a message on the parable of the talents from the book of Matthew, and how the "talents" bestowed upon individuals by God are gifts meant to be used for His glory and not merely for entertainment or personal gain. He warns against the sin of omission, stressing the importance of utilizing these gifts faithfully and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior to avoid severe spiritual consequences.
This message explores the Parable of the Talents and what it means to live with purpose and responsibility. Pastor Sarah Schafer challenges us to take an honest look at how we're using what's been entrusted to us—our time, abilities, and resources—and how trust in God shapes our response.

In this Sermon Extra, pastors Nick and Stephen take a deeper look at the parables in Matthew 25 and ask a challenging question: What does it really mean to be faithful with what God has entrusted to you? Is playing it safe actually a form of disobedience? Should we be afraid to fail?Join us as we explore the difference between fear-based inaction and faith-fueled obedience, and how this parable shapes our understanding of stewardship, leadership, and the kinds of risks that honor God.Check out more about other topics from Pastor Nick's blog: nickcady.org
Sermon July 20 - The Parable of the Talents - Matthew 25 by Sunnybrook Christian Church
Welcome to Wellspring Church!What does it mean to be converted not just in heart and mind—but in how we handle money? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us to take seriously the call to radical generosity by grounding our giving in the very character of God.Looking at Matthew 25 and 2 Corinthians 9, we see that generosity isn't just a good idea—it's part of discipleship. The Triune God is a God who gives: the Father, Son, and Spirit glorifying and pouring into one another. We're made in His image, and when we give, we share in His joy.

Significant Women with Carol McLeod | Carol Mcleod Ministries
In this episode of Significant Women, I have the great joy of welcoming Mary Marantz, a gifted author, speaker, and host of The Mary Marantz Show. Mary's story is both tender and powerful—a testimony of healing, courage, and transformation. Together, we talk about what it means to break free from generational pain, let go of perfectionism, and begin the long, faithful journey of becoming who God created us to be.Mary shares rich insight from her new book Underestimated, a message for every woman who has questioned her voice, her strength, or her ability to make a meaningful impact. Our conversation explores the process of healing from the inside out, recognizing fear for the liar it is, and learning to trust yourself as a vessel for the work God has entrusted to you.This episode will meet you in your hidden places and help you start again—with grace, with faith, and with a deeper sense of purpose.In this episode, we discuss:Healing from decades of limiting beliefs and deep-rooted fearThe myth that “more” will lead to our downfallGenerational patterns and where the chain breaksThe link between perfectionism and fearHow self-sabotage keeps us in cycles of playing smallWhy consistency is more powerful than excellence aloneReparenting yourself as an adult and learning to feel safeUnderstanding the Parable of the Talents as a call to trustHow to stop delaying obedience while waiting for “permission”Embracing your God-given gifts and using them with courageScripture Themes:Matthew 25:14–30 — The Parable of the TalentsThe calling to be faithful with what you've been givenThe importance of small, daily obedience in spiritual growthTrusting that if God gave it to you, He intends for you to use itMary's Books Mentioned:Dirt — A memoir about returning home and making peace with your pastSlow Growth Equals Strong Roots — A guide for those tired of hustle, who long to grow at a soul-deep levelUnderestimated — A book for every woman who feels overlooked, underqualified, or unsure of her place in God's planQuotes to Remember:“We are doing the heavy lifting of breaking generational chains. So it's okay if it takes us a little longer.”“You were never asked to be perfect. You were asked to be faithful.”“When we hide our gifts, we forfeit the good work that was prepared in advance for us.”“Fear is not creative. It's repetitive. The lies don't change. But neither does the truth.”Carol's Challenge to Listeners:Start small. Ask yourself: What one thing can I do today to become more of the woman I long to be? Maybe it's a simple decision. Maybe it's a single act of obedience. But begin there. Because your story matters, and the small things are never small when done with God.Mary's Final Prayer:Mary closes the episode with a beautiful and vulnerable prayer over every woman listening. She prays that you would grow weary of fear, stop giving weight to old lies, and begin trusting the God who planted gifts in you before the foundation of the world. She reminds us that showing up matters more than being perfect—and that hiding your voice serves no one.Where to Find Mary Marantz:Website: www.marymarantz.comInstagram: @marymarantzPodcast: The Mary Marantz ShowBooks: Available wherever books are soldListen and Subscribe:If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing and leaving a review.

Sean Blair | Matthew 25:14-30
This week, we step outside—literally—to escape the summer heat, joined by Brett for an honest, thought-provoking conversation under the open sky. We explore some big questions: What is our purpose in life? When is our "mission" really complete? And what does it mean to truly fulfill the "measure of our creation"?Using personal stories, gospel perspectives, and a good bit of humor, we'll dig into the pressures we put on ourselves to find a grand life purpose, unpack the weight of cultural expectations, and rethink familiar parables—like the parable of the talents—through a new lens. We also candidly tackle topics like overcoming negativity, reclaiming childlike creativity, and embracing our divine potential—whether that means picking up a new talent, switching careers, or just giving ourselves permission to dream again.If you've ever wrestled with questions about your worth, your path, or how to use your gifts for good, pull up a chair (or step outside into the sunshine with us!) for a conversation that's as real as it is uplifting. Sometimes, just being here—just existing—is the sweetest part of all.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

In today's episode, we explore the Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14-30 and what it teaches us about faith and action. While many people associate this passage with money, its deeper meaning is about how we receive and respond to God's gift of faith. Jesus warns against inaction and calls us to be good stewards—not just of financial resources, but of the spiritual and material gifts we've been given. We'll discuss how this applies to both our faith and finances, the dangers of fear-driven stagnation, and the importance of taking action with what God has entrusted to us.

Jace is joined by author Damian Duffy to talk about his recently released graphic novel adaption of Octavia E. Butler's classic science fiction novel, Parable of the Talents. Butler is incredible prescient in her ability to predict the current cultural and political state of the world in 2025, even though her novel was published in 1998. It deals of concepts of personal, religious and economic freedoms as well as Afro-Futurism. With evocative art by John Jennings this adapation faithfully captures the feel fo the prose work. Damian talks about the challenges of adapting such a rich work and gives his thoughts on how Butler was so accurately able to predict the future.
