    Is now a right time to come to God? I recently talked about the Bride of Christ and how we the church will be swooped up and whisked away to a wedding day with Jesus. This event is called the Rapture and we examined it and our place in biblical history and came to realize we are living in a ...read more

    THis sermon is about the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. It is about not knowing the day or the hour of Christ's return and being prepared for that day. it is a reminder of Correctness, Committment and Companions.

    This parable of Christ seems to be pretty simple. Even though there doesn’t seem to be much hidden meaning here, somehow, most of humanity seems to ignore it completely. What I mean is, the lesson may be simple, but the action we are called to, seems to be hard for many people. Is it ...read more
