    Following up on His teaching in Matthew 24, Jesus gives an illustration from normal life about being ready for His coming or not.

    Passage: Matthew 25:1-13 Intro: The crisis in Japan has kind of faded into the background for us, though not for them. 1. fears of “the end of the world” have faded, as they invariably do. 2. other disasters, like tornados in SE. 3. but when we think about the end of the world, ...read more

    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

    Are You Ready For The Bridegroom?

    In the parable of the 10 virgins 5 make it to the banquet while 5 miss out. The difference was in the preparation - a lack of oil. Are we spiritually prepared or do we lack the oil?

    Message Are You Ready? Let’s play a game – it is called “I Wonder”. I wonder if the student who got an “F” on their maths test would have studied more the night before if they had known that this was going to be their grade? I wonder if the alcoholic would ...read more

    Jesus wants us to be prepared for His return, to be faithful and wise servants who are actively involved in the work of His Kingdom. We need to keep watch and stay invested in His Kingdom.

    Are you the type of person who tends to wait until the last minute to take care of important things? • Do you wait until the last minute to study for an exam? • Do you wait until April 14 to file your income tax return due on April 15? • Do you postpone going to the see the doctor until you ...read more

     | 6,226 views

    Our Heavenly Father wants to invite you and me to a wedding. It is not a regular invitation and it is no ordinary wedding. The flight is paid for and the destination is Heaven. The reception is to take place on earth.

    Message: Summer can be a very busy time as we try to squeeze in vacation, visits to family and friends and respond to all those invitations. For most of us the wedding invitation is still one of personal importance and can sometimes cost us more than just a wedding gift. In some cases a wedding ...read more

    Jesus Christ tells us He is returning and it is our responsibility to be ready for His coming. procrastination will destroy your spiritual life and there are some things that cannot be borrowed at the last minute.

    The Fate of the unprepared Matthew 25:1-25:13 Introduction- We have for several weeks looking at the direct teachings of Jesus recorded in the book of Matthew. We have looked at the judging of others last week we looked being real. What does a genuine Christian look like? Today, Jesus ...read more

    In light of the fact that we only have so much to give, I’d like to attempt to bestow a Mother’s Day gift today- the gift of limitations. God can do everything, but you and I cannot! So, here's permission to set some limits and boundaries in your life.

    The Gift of Limitations -(Matthew 25:1-13) We all have limitations. We are finite beings who are limited by time and space, and by a finite supply of energy and focus. Furthermore, you could say we are limited by our mission or purpose in life, although some never learn to set limits that keep ...read more

    Jesus reveals a parable of the Ten Virgins - each having their own lamp, but only five had oil in their lamps. When the call sounded to meet the Bridegroom, only five were ready. We must have oil in our lamps when the call is sounded to meet the Lord.

    Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh Matthew 25: 1-13 We have read another of Jesus’ parables. Parables were used of our Lord to communicate a heavenly truth through an earthly illustration. This parable was given to the people of Israel, but there is application and instruction for each of us. In ...read more

    (Appropriate for Watchnight or New Year's Eve service as well.) As Christians we live in the certainty that Jesus is coming again. It could be today, tomorrow, or any moment. We need to wake up, clean up, and grow up.

    Romans 13:11-14 A Wake-up Call A priest and pastor were standing by the side of the road holding up a sign that read, "The End is near! Turn around before it's too late!"

    Righteous But Foolish

    Most of us are too spiritual to think of eventualities in our planning thereby neglect taking precautions. The foolish five couldn’t go with the Groom because they refused to take precaution even when they saw others did. Wisdom is the principal thing!

    The story of the ten virgins in the book of Matthew 25:1-13 comes with a load of lessons and several sermons have been preached and are still being preached on it. Our focus today anyways is a critical look at the five that the Bible tagged “fool” among the ten virgins. What were ...read more
