Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents) urging Christians to "make it count" by stewarding what God has given - time, talent, and treasure - for his glory. He emphasizes that God expects a return on his investment, so followers must obey quickly, multiply what they're given, and pursue godly ambition while remaining dependent on the Lord. Herrin warns against delaying obedience, hiding gifts out of fear, avoiding pruning, or choosing the easy path instead of the faithful one. He closes by calling the church and individuals to act boldly for Jesus while ultimately boasting only in the cross.
“The one talent man was not in trouble with the master because he lost what God gave him. The one talent man was in trouble with the master because he never multiplied what God gave him.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Practical application: inventory your gifts as time, talent, and treasure and intentionally invest them for kingdom impact. Practice immediate obedience to promptings from Scripture and church leadership - delayed obedience yields no return. Reframe pruning and painful seasons as opportunities God can use to produce greater fruit, and choose faith over the easiest option when making consequential decisions. Pursue godly ambition while remaining dependent on God and giving him the glory.

I Got the Bag | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents) to teach that every follower of Jesus has been entrusted with a "bag" - time, talent, and treasure - and will be held accountable for how it's stewarded. The parable shows faithfulness is measured by multiplying what God gives, not by comparing amounts between people.
Test God | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches on tithing as part of a series on money, arguing that tithing is a biblical act of stewardship, not a burdensome law. He defines tithing as returning the first and best 10% of what God entrusts to us through the local church and roots that definition in Scripture (especially Malachi 3).
The god of Money | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin launches a multi-week series called "Money Moves," teaching from Matthew 6 that money can either be a tool or an idol. He argues that when money becomes a god in our hearts it blinds us, steals our joy, and competes with Jesus for the throne of our lives.
