Entrusted Kingdom Abundance (Matthew 25:14-30). The master of heaven entrusts his greatest treasure with his servants. Are you a good and faithful steward of this treasure? Those not faithful with the treasure of Christ will lose what little understanding they do have.

Worthless Management Skills (Matthew 25:1-13). How do we know if we are foolish or wise from Jesus? Are you a faithful one ready for the bridegroom? If we don’t know the time, how will we keep alert?

Surprised Gnashing Hypocrites (Matthew 24:42-51) Who then is the faithful and wise servant? What makes one a wicked and foolish servant? Which one are you and for how long? What does it mean that the master deals harshly with the hypocrites?

Unexpected Unknown Advent (Matthew 24:32-44). Where do we look as catastrophes occurring in our world to draw hope? Everything we think is solid will fade away, but the Word of Promise from Christ will never fade. What will you do differently for the last day?

Deception Avoiding Election (Matthew 24:15-31). What is the holy place in your life in danger of a desolating rebellion making a stand against God? Amazing that the people of the earth will mourn, rather than celebrate, the coming of the Christ.

Irrespective Gospel Preaching (Matthew 24:1-14). You know we are moving towards the end times because of the failure of the moral progress deception. The more humanity is rocked by its sin, the more they will hate bringers of the Gospel. Will you trust Christ in the midst of chaos?

Death Double-dealer Teachers (Matthew 23:27-39). Those who teach you must follow the law are only leading you to death. They are pretty caskets filled up hypocrisy and wickedness. The Law kills, but the promise of God gives life and hope.

Accursed Law Peddlers (Matthew 23:13-26). Jesus curses the self-virtuous law peddlers who refuse God’s grace. They emphasize trite religious displays while ignoring a dynamic relationship with God. Don’t follow blind guides.

Dutiful Hypocrisy Theatre (Matthew 23:1-12). Jesus points out how all the religious teachers put on a show. Who are self-righteous experts putting cumbersome loads onto you for how to be perfect? To be free of perfection, there is a perfect teacher, Father and instructor for you.

Hanging Law Experts (Matthew 22:34-46). Those who are experts in the Law try to stump Jesus about the commandments. Silly legalists, the Law only accuses and condemns. It cannot give life. Jesus asks them to imagine the promise of the Messiah.
