    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?

He spoke this before his death and resurrection, but it concerns his second coming. Jesus has said (Matthew 24: 14) that “this gospel of the kingdom will be ...read more
