The exact day and hour of the end is unknown to all but the Father. But what we do know, Jesus tells us: His return will be sudden, like the flood in Noah's day, and when it arrives time will have run out. Jesus then gives two parables: the Ten Virgins, where only those ready with oil are allowed into the feast, and the Talents, where servants are judged by their faithfulness in using the Master's gifts. The message for believers is clear: "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour."  The Rev. John Zimmerman, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Scranton, PA and St. John's Lutheran Church in Pittston, PA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 24:36-25:30.  To learn more about Immanuel and St. John's, visit immanuelscranton.org and facebook.com/StJohnsLutheranChurchPittstonPa. 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.

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation on November 19, 2025 at Kintore College in Toronto. The topic is the Parable of the Talents from Luke 19:11-28.One day we will all arrive at that moment when our spiritual soul leaves our body, and goes off to judgment. The soul then ceases to vivify the body with the informing, animating principle we call life. The king responded to the man who had kept his one talent: Then why did you not put my money in the bank? On my return I could have drawn it out with interest.”

All of us, at one time or another have missed an opportunity that could have altered our lives, maybe for the better. There are also many famous moments in history that were squandered. Here are just a few: • A Kodak engineer invented the first digital camera, but the company suppressed the technology, fearing it would hurt its “film business”. • The telegraph company Western Union famously rejected Alexander Graham Bell's offer to buy the telephone patent for $100,000, calling the device "idiotic". • A committee of the British Government rejected Thomas Edison's light bulb, stating that it might be “okay for our transatlantic friends…but unworthy of the attention of practical or scientific men.” • Decca Records famously turned down the Beatles after an audition, because one of their executives stated "guitar groups are on the way out". In JESUS' great “End Times” teaching found in Matthew 24 and 25, He employs a Parable to warn His disciples of the eternal tragedy of squandering our lives. This Parable is most often called the “Parable of the Servants & Talents”, and we'll explore its poignant message this Sunday. In this message, Pastor Joe Still leads us to discover together how to “Maximize our Lives” the JESUS Way!

W 95. odcinku podcastu „Z warsztatu lidera” zanurzamy się w jeden z najbardziej niedocenianych, a jednocześnie najbardziej wpływowych motywatorów w Reiss Motivation Profile - idealizm. Razem z doświadczoną menedżerką i RMP Pro Masterką Moniką Łagun analizujemy, jak potrzeba idealizmu kształtuje decyzje, relacje i pracę liderów w praktyce. Idealizm może inspirować, budować sens i pchać ludzi do działań prospołecznych. Może też prowadzić do trudnych kompromisów, wypalenia lub konfliktów na poziomie wartości.Jak więc zarządzać osobami o skrajnie różnych podejściach - od „do bólu pragmatycznych” po tych, którzy w każdym projekcie szukają wyższego znaczenia? W rozmowie usłyszysz m.in.:czym różni się wysoki idealizm od niskiego idealizmu i jak oba wpływają na zachowania w pracy,dlaczego osoby z niskim idealizmem świetnie odnajdują się w kryzysach, restrukturyzacjach i tough calls,jak idealizm łączy się z innymi motywatorami, takimi jak władza, porządek czy honor,kiedy zaangażowanie społeczne jest autentyczną wartością, a kiedy mechanizmem ryzyka wypalenia,jak mówić do zespołu, by każdy - niezależnie od profilu - widział sens i cel działania,jakie dane z badań RMP pokazują różnice między idealizmem w branży IT, sprzedaży i innych rolach zawodowych.To odcinek dla liderów i menedżerów, którzy chcą:- lepiej rozumieć motywacje swoich ludzi,- świadomie budować komunikację i sens działania,- unikać konfliktów wynikających nie z charakteru, lecz z różnic w strukturze motywatorów,- wykorzystywać idealizm jako realne narzędzie w zarządzaniu zespołem. Dowiedz się, jak idealizm - zarówno wysoki, jak i niski - może stać się twoim sojusznikiem w budowaniu silnych i różnorodnych zespołów.

Are you using what God gave you — or burying it? In this powerful sermon on the Parable of the Talents, we explore Jesus' sobering message about responsibility, stewardship, and the spiritual danger of neglecting what God has entrusted to us. Laziness isn't just a bad habit — Scripture shows it is a sin that wastes God-given opportunities and dishonors the Giver.In this message, you'll learn:✨ Why God expects action, growth, and faithfulness from every believer

Jesus called the third servant “wicked and lazy” and threw him into outer darkness. Most Christians have never heard the Parable of the Talents preached like this.In this no-compromise message, Pastor Mike exposes laziness as the silent, deadly sin that robs believers of their reward and makes God angry. You'll discover:Why “I was afraid” is the #1 excuse lazy Christians still use today The direct link between laziness, poverty, and bondage (Proverbs 24:30-34) Three subtle laziness markers hiding in your life right now How work becomes worship and diligence opens doors kings can't shut The terrifying moment every believer will give an account for what we did (or didn't do) with what God gave usScriptures: Matthew 25:14-30 • Proverbs 22:29 • Colossians 3:23-24 • 1 Corinthians 10:31One day you'll hear either “Well done, good and faithful servant” …or “You wicked and lazy servant.”Which one will it be for you?Hit play. This is your wake-up call. #ParableOfTheTalents #Laziness #ChristianMotivation #WellDoneGoodAndFaithfulServant

In this message, Pastor Eric Sebastian teaches from the Parable of the Talents, helping us understand what God has placed in our hands, what He calls us to do with it, and the fears that often hold us back. Through clear questions and real-life application, you'll be encouraged to trust God more deeply, live with open hands, and boldly step into the purpose He's given you.

Pastor Chrissy Cole continues Project Church's Kingdom Builders series with a practical and powerful message on stewardship and financial freedom. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9 and the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, she teaches that generosity is impossible without good stewardship. Through Scripture, humor, and transparency, Pastor Chrissy challenges us to break free from debt, fear, and shame, reminding us that faithful stewardship is the foundation of generosity and the key to living in freedom through Christ.

Gifts and Talents come in seed form. They must be grown and cultivated. Thanks + Giving pt 3.

Partner et co-head du Private Equity France chez 3i, Pax Botuha a déjà vécu plusieurs vies en finance : M&A chez Edmond de Rothschild, conseil en stratégie au BCG, puis private equity chez L-GAM et L Catterton avant de rejoindre 3i à Paris, où il pilote aujourd'hui les investissements Consumer et co-dirige l'équipe française. Dans cet épisode, Pax revient sur ce qui, selon lui, constitue un bon parcours pour entrer en private equity : commencer par se forger un hardware comptable en audit, se frotter à la transaction en M&A, puis apprendre à raisonner en hypothèses et à travailler avec les dirigeants en conseil en stratégie. Lui-même est arrivé "tard" dans le métier, après sept à huit ans d'expérience, et recommande plutôt de viser 2 à 4 ans hors PE, pas avant, pas après, pour maximiser l'apprentissage et la courbe de progression une fois en fonds. Il nous ouvre ensuite les coulisses de 3i et de son modèle de capital permanent : 35 milliards d'euros sous gestion, investis depuis le propre bilan du groupe, avec une forte appétence pour le consumer. Cela change tout : plus de flexibilité pour réinvestir dans les sociétés du portefeuille, racheter des minoritaires au sein de familles cédantes, ou accompagner plus longtemps les actifs qui performent. Pax insiste aussi sur la culture “asset partnership” de 3i : pas d'équipe dédiée portefeuille, ce sont les mêmes investisseurs qui sourcent, exécutent et accompagnent les sociétés au quotidien, avec un équilibre assumé entre travail d'investissement et travail opérationnel. Au fil de la conversation, on explore la consolidation du marché du private equity, la polarisation entre très grandes plateformes et fonds plus spécialisés, la réalité derrière la fameuse statistique des “fonds de PE plus nombreux que les McDonald's aux États-Unis”. On parle aussi de la place du consumer dans les portefeuilles, des débats sur le risque du secteur, et des thématiques d'investissement qui restent attractives malgré un contexte macro et politique chahuté. Enfin, Pax partage une vision très concrète du leadership en private equity : savoir être décisif sans “brûler” ses équipes, choisir ses combats, et construire un alignement solide avec les dirigeants et les familles autour d'un projet commun. Côté recrutement, il cherche avant tout des profils curieux, capables de se dépasser et de prendre de plus en plus de responsabilités en partant des tâches les plus simples — avec, à la clé, un vrai “sky is the limit” pour ceux qui jouent le jeu. Son dernier message s'adresse aux étudiants et jeunes pros : ne pas prendre de décisions de carrière sur un coup d'impulsion, accepter de travailler très dur quelques années pour se former, et garder en tête que le private equity reste, à ses yeux, “un métier absolument fantastique et extrêmement complet.” Merci Pax, Voix de la FinanceHébergé par Ausha.

Je suis heureuse de vous retrouver pour un épisode aujourd'hui avec une slasheuse créative, Cécile, alias Ciloubidouille ! Habituellement, les créatrices que je reçois sont plutôt spécialisées dans une ou deux choses, comme l'aquarelle, la broderie, la couture, le travail du papier… Mais Cécile, elle, a une activité multiple, plusieurs métiers qui l'éclatent. Elle est notamment coach en visibilité digitale et coach en créativité. Elle anime également des ateliers créatifs, elle crée des box créatives et elle blogue depuis 2006 !Avec Cécile, on a parlé de beaucoup de choses qui ont façonné sa vie créative : ses 4 enfants, son 1er métier de responsable marketing, son blog, les partenariats, son expérience d'expatriation… C'est d'ailleurs sa vie à Wuhan en Chine pendant 3 ans qui a été le déclic d'une évolution dans son mode de vie et dans ses projets professionnels.Cécile aime le collectif, monter des projets en équipe. C'était pas du tout dans ses rêves d'être freelance et indépendante. Elle nous raconte donc ce parcours qui s'est construit au fur et à mesure.Cécile emploie des termes qui me parlent beaucoup, comme la permaculture humaine et la vie intentionnelle : j'espère que ça vous touchera également ! Bonne écoute

In this week's message, Matthew Balentine explores Jesus' Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14–30, reminding us that everything we have—our time, our talents, and our treasures—belongs to God. Through this story, we learn that God entrusts each of us with different resources, not equally but intentionally. The question isn't what we've been given—it's what we're doing with what we've been given. Matthew challenges us to examine whether we're investing our blessings for God's glory or burying them in fear and excuses. True faithfulness isn't about quantity or comparison—it's about obedience, gratitude, and action.

[School of Movies 2025] In an unprecedented show-type for us, what we have here began life as an After School Club commission by Tylor Long. Before it could be released it got upgraded to become a full Main Event show after this wonderful, darkly-funny, warm-hearted ghost story got included in our Discord Halloween watch-along. The premise is familiarly bureaucratic, and simple enough for little kids to understand; In the afterlife ghosts must work to scare the living in order to be remembered. The results are what feels like the Taiwanese Beetlejuice, utilising the trappings of horror movies without ever actually being scary. It also seems to have a hell of a lot of things to say about the attention economy in a world where MrBeast is the highest aspirational figure for so many young people. What Dead Talents Society hints at is that there's so much more to existence than just being talked about by strangers. Released straight to streaming in 2024, this movie is ironically virtually unseen and unheard of, but you should absolutely listen to this show and track this film down. It's going right at the top of our films of the year list.

Tom Logue - November 2nd 2025 God forgives 10,000 talents — and forgiven people forgive. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 18:21–35, where Jesus teaches what forgiveness actually is, and what reconciliation actually requires. Using the parable of the unforgiving servant, Tom shows how forgiveness is not pretending nothing happened — forgiveness is paying the debt yourself instead of making the other person pay. He also unpacks why reconciliation requires both ingredients: repentance + forgiveness… not one without the other. This message calls us out of pride, bitterness, tally-keeping, and “they owe me,” into the freedom and humility of the gospel — where God cancels our unpayable debt through Christ, and empowers us to extend that same mercy toward others.

Matthew 25:14-30

Generosity encompasses time, energy, resources, and prayers, shaping how we live, serve, and influence the world around us. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind believers that God is the ultimate standard of generosity and that everything we have comes from Him, from spiritual blessings to everyday provisions. The guys emphasize that giving is rooted in being fully satisfied in the Lord, recognizing that our most profound joy and fulfillment flow from His hand. When we hunger for Him, our time, talents, and treasures naturally become instruments to bless others, build community, and point people toward God's goodness.The guys explore generosity in daily life, encouraging believers to offer their skills, invest time in relationships, and give with grace and thoughtfulness. Giving is not limited to finances; it can mean lending possessions, offering gifts of service, mentoring the next generation, or using influence for the good of others. True generosity is sacrificial, not just a matter of convenience or abundance. It extends to sharing the gospel even in the face of rejection or persecution. The generous soul is made rich as it reflects God's heart, mirrors the ultimate gift of Christ giving His life for humanity, and points others to the joy of living under His provision.Generosity also shapes our finances, relationships, and daily choices. Money and resources amplify what is already in the heart, revealing whether we trust God or cling to security in material things. The guys explain that cheerful, sacrificial giving requires faith, humility, and awareness of the heart, going beyond money to include time, attention, and intentional priorities. Forgiveness is a vital expression of generosity, reflecting the gospel by offering mercy even without reconciliation or recognition. By esteeming others, freely giving of ourselves, and modeling grace, believers demonstrate the transforming power of Christ in both ordinary moments and extraordinary acts.The guys remind believers that generosity is central to the gospel and has historically distinguished Christians in the world. Early believers revolutionized society through radical giving, serving those who hated them, and standing apart through sacrificial love. Generosity continues to witness to both Christians and the unsaved, speaking volumes where words alone cannot reach. It is a freeing practice grounded in trust in the living God. True generosity flows from hearts devoted to Him, willing to give freely and abundantly because His love compels us to reflect His character in every aspect of life.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Jesus made some pretty shocking statements during His life and ministry, including this: people who want to find true life must first lose their life. In other words, gaining the world is meaningless if you lose your soul too – and your soul is found when you surrender your whole life to Jesus. One way […]

Don't Hide What God Gave YouWhat happens when fear makes you bury the gifts God gave you? In this episode, we break down Jesus' Parable of the Talents and why faithfulness—not perfection—is what matters to God.We're diving into the fourth of Jesus' five parables about His second coming, and this one hits different. It's about a master who entrusts his servants with investments before going on a journey. Two servants double what they're given. One servant? He digs a hole and hides it out of fear.Jesus isn't calling you to be perfect. He's calling you to be faithful with what He's given you—whether that's hospitality, preaching, serving, or loving the people everyone else ignores. This parable shows us that slothfulness isn't just laziness—it's spiritual passivity. It's wanting God without the work. It's playing it safe when Christ never called us to be safe.In this episode:* Why faithfulness matters more than the size of your gift* What it means to be a “good and faithful slave”* How fear and passivity can bury your God-given talents* Why Jesus took the place of the “worthless slave” on the cross* How to identify and invest the gifts God has given YOUAfter the Amen Question: What are the talents God has given you that you need to be more responsible with?
