This sermon explores two characters who uttered regretful words before their deaths.
Are we content with what the Lord has given us or are we like Rachel who always wanted something more?
When Jesus does not give us what we want, will we continue in His ways or desert Jesus like Judas did?

Summary:
The three parables in Matthew 25 give us important lessons to think about in the last days.
- Are we prepared to endure to the end and shine as light even in the darkest tribulation?
- Are we fully utilising the time and abilities God has given us to serve Him?
- Are we being sincere in our service? Do we truly know what it means to serve the Lord?

Summary:
From the family of the Rechabites, we learn:
- Why people break God’s commandments even though they know the consequences - we choose the temporal pleasure now over the consequences in the future.
- Drinking wine isn’t a sin, but getting drunk is. It is difficult to discern the line between drunkenness and sobriety.
- Remember we are sojourners in this world. Live our lives like our stay on earth here is temporary.

Summary:
There is a classical saying, “Filial piety is the foremost of all virtues.”
Meaning to say, when a man is able to carry out filial piety, others will respect this man. Many opine filial piety as a Chinese tradition but this is not just inherent in Chinese cultures because this is also a commandment and teaching of God. This commandment carries along a promise as well!
