Richard delves into another parable as Jesus teaches on how we are to steward our talents as faithful servants. He looks into what talents are in our own lives as well as how we are to make use of them to fall into the joy of the master.

Richard continues to dive into the intricacies of Jesus’ teachings on end times, the abomination of desolation and all the associated carnage, in it we look at how we can expect it to play out but far more importantly, what we as believers should be doing, both during those times and in anticipation of them.

Christ offers a stark warning over the trials that believers will face as the end times draw near and advises the disciples as well as other believers on how they should act to avoid falling prey to the enemy’s efforts to draw believers astray.

In a set of scathing remarks that mark a direct opposite to the earlier beatitudes Jesus highlights the folly and danger of hypocrisy and some of the ways in which it is on display from the religious leaders of the period, it acts as a stern warning for our lives while additionally setting the stage for the pharisees plot to whip the Jewish people into a mob calling for the crucifixion of Christ.
