    How Prepared Are We, Really?

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Oct 24, 2020
     | 5,013 views

    In the parable of the 10 virgins, the whole point is being ready - truly ready - for coming face to face with Jesus - either when He returns or when we go to Him. This message, which relies heavily on William Barclay for context and content in the first part, explores this theme.

    How Prepared Are We For Jesus? If we look at this parable with western eyes, it may seem an unnatural and a "made-up" story. But it actually telt tells a story that could have happened at any time in a Palestinian village and which could still happen today. A wedding was a great ...read more

    What are you afraid of? Fears attack the most precious parts of our life and keep us from living the life meant for us. God wants to help us overcome our darkest fears as we learn to Fear Not.

    Opening illustration: (Our fearless covert evangelism in the Middle-East even when we had fear at the back of our minds of being found out and possibly face dire consequences) Introduction: We are fragile mortals, given to fears of every sort. We have a built-in insecurity that no amount of ...read more

    Everyone who was there, at the cross, had a question, except the ones who were sure they already had the answers.. . What’s going on? What am I doing here? Who is that man, anyway? What am I going to do?

    Were you there when they crucified my Lord? They were all people just like us, you know. It might just have well have been we who were there, not them. It would all have happened just the same. Were you one of the ones that hadn’t really been paying attention? Were you one of the curious ...read more
