Parable Examples of Serving God - Matthew 25:1-30
By Mark Jenkins on 20 March 2022 at Zoom Service with Communion
This talk is in two parts, with a shorter part given by Elske, based on one parable, and the longer message from Mark on another.
Before Elske speaks, either read Matthew 25:1-13 or watch this video of the parable Ten Virgins
Elske’s talk about this parable takes the first 6 minutes 10 seconds of the recording, with a message about being spiritually prepared for Jesus’ return.
The Parable of the Talents is in Matthew 25:14-30 or this video: Talents
From 6mins 14s Mark unravels the meaning of this, to get beyond the superficial monetary image to a deeper understanding, to do with the gifts and talents God has given us and what we do with them. He asks is to examine ourselves, “Are we just basking in being given salvation and yet not following Christ in our lives?” A challenge we all would do well to consider each day.
