Parable of the Talents explained – Matthew 25:14–30 sermon. What are you doing with the life God has entrusted to you? In this passage, Jesus tells the Parable of the Talents – a story about servants, responsibility, reward, and the danger of wasting what the Master has given.

In this sermon, Pastor Mike Neglia unpacks the meaning of the parable and applies it to our lives today. You’ll hear why saving faith is also serving faith, how God entrusts different gifts and opportunities to each of us, and why comparison and sloth are deadly traps. Most importantly, you’ll see the hope of the gospel – that we don’t serve a harsh taskmaster, but a gracious Saviour who gave Himself for us and who delights to commend His people with the words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Whether you are new to faith, curious about Christianity, or a mature believer longing to hear Christ’s commendation, this message will encourage you to use what God has given – not out of fear, but out of love, gratitude, and joy.
