Waiting: God's Call to Faithful Improvement

Let me invite you to take up God’s Word and to turn with me to the gospel of Matthew this evening as we read from Matthew 25:14-30. In our evening services, many of you will remember, over the last few weeks we’ve been studying a number of the parables. And the one we’re going to be looking at this evening is a parable that encourages us to faithfully improve that which has been entrusted to us. And in the midst of the encouragement, there’s also a very stern warning, and it’s a warning that ought to cause us to stop and to assess our life before God this evening once again.
