What if today was the day you met Jesus face-to-face? Imagine with me for a moment, what that encounter might be like. Last year, someone told me what they imagined that meeting with Jesus would go like & it went a little something like this. They imagined sitting at a table with Jesus & seeing Him push a piece of paper across the table. On that piece of paper was every single thing they were supposed to do with their life according to the Lord's will. All the blessings God had for them. All of the amazing milestones He was going to help them achieve. All of it was listed on this paper. & then they imagined that Jesus brought someone into the room who surprisingly looked a lot like them! All of a sudden they realized, they were staring face-to-face into the person they were supposed to become. The person God has created them to be. & the question was: Did they steward their time on Earth & become the person God had created to be? Or did they not? Inside today's episode, we're studying the Parable of The Talents & asking ourselves the hard question (without shame or judgement): If I were to meet Jesus face-to-face today & give an account of my time here on earth, would I have fulfilled my God-Given potential? Grab your Bibles, friend & press play on this episode! It's a good one
So, what does God say about “increase” in the Bible? Well, a whole lot! That's because God is so big on active stewardship, both His and ours…and that's true when it comes to our family and to our gifting and to our money…and even when it comes to the Word! And that's not to mention the increase of the government of our King Jesus in this very day! Join Kevin as we explore the amazing opportunity to be a part of God's intended increase in His Kingdom and for each of His children! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

In the second part of our discussion with Chris Goswami, we dive into some of the ethical arguments for and against cryptocurrencies. Are they providing financial liberation for some of the poor and excluded communities in the developing world, or simply luring vulnerable under-educated people into shady scams? What does properly Christian investment look like and could putting our money into crypto be an example of this? And how can we grow in wisdom and discernment as believers so that we can pick our way through this wildly accelerating field of technological advancement, avoiding what is harmful while pursuing the good?

What have we done to bring increase from what we have been entrusted with as a steward? There […]
The parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) - Maffy by Christ City Church Dublin

This message was originally given by Pastor DJ Ritchey on Sunday, October 23, 2022 at Memorial Heights Baptist Church.
What have you been waiting for? A phone call about a job, test results, or the person of your dreams? Have you been waiting for what seems like an eternity? Sometimes even when we wait for really great things, our desire for future events can feel like a burden. The question isn't how to avoid waiting, but how to wait well. Jesus answered this question in The Parable of the Talents with the promise of an incredible reward and a terrifying warning. To wait well is more than looking to the future; it's being faithful with what God has entrusted to us in our current situations. When we invest in God's Kingdom NOW, we can bring a taste of eternity to everyone around us.

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. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
A steward is a person who has been entrusted with he responsibility of managing the affairs of an owner. As believers in Jesus Christ, we are stewards of the opportunities, the abilities, and the resources that God has entrusted to us. The Bible says "It is required of stewards that one one found faithful." (1 Corinthians 4:1-2). A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. In this revelatory prophecy in Matthew chapters 24 and 25, Jesus shares the Parable of the Talents. This parable reveals how God determines what opportunities, the abilities, and resources He will entrust to each believer. It also reveals the options that lie before us as believers... to be faitfhul or unfaithful. It also reveals the ultimate reward or regret that we will experience. What will it be for you... commendation or condemnation, promotion or demotion, reward or regret?
The traditional reading of this parable doesn’t hold up if examined closely. We examine this story through a different lens to see what it has to say to us about the nature of power and privilege. Maybe the man who buried his money is actually the hero of the story. Learn more about Blue Ocean Church […]
