    The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

    This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more

    In this passage, we receive the encouragement from Christ to be faithful and to remain ready. We can remain faithful because He is a good shepherd who looks over His flock. We stay ready because we don’t know the day or the hour when Christ will return, but we trust that He is coming soon.
