    A short sermon which asks whether we are prepared for the return of Jesus. Are we like the 5 virgins (bridesmaids) who had plenty of oil, or like the 5 who were not prepared?

    As Jesus told this parable he was already well into a lengthy explanation of events surrounding his second coming (Matthew chapter 24).
