    In Matthew 25:1-13, Jesus tells the Parable of the Ten Virgins, this message from the text asks the crucial question are we ready for Christ's return?

    The hymn we have just sung asks a pointed question. A question that I fear too often we dismiss in our daily lives. With all the concerns of living in the present moment - with all of the accompanying joys or frustrations - we fail to give much thought to the final moment. That moment when time, as ...read more

    When Jesus returns to take His people to heaven, we must be ready. Spiritual preparation cannot be bought or borrowed at the last minute. The story of how the 5 virgins missed it all is perfectly true to life. It gives us the imagery of how we need to be

    Waiting for Jesus return can make people grow complacent about the fact that He IS indeed coming back, and it really will be soon.

    Ready and Waiting? by Steve Keeler Matthew 25:1-13 Jesus is telling a story about ten virgins who are like bridesmaids at a wedding. In order to make sense of Jesus' story, we need to understand a bit about Jewish wedding customs. Traditionally, the groom would leave from his house and travel, ...read more

    The parable of the ten virgins is given to accentuate the incalculable importance of being spiritually prepared to meet Christ when He returns to earth, because after He appears, unbelievers who are then alive will have no further chance for salvation.

    A fun part of summer are the frequent weddings that occur. So much has changed over the years with weddings.
