    Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A: Ten Virgins- Bring Your Own Oil

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 13, 2023
     | 1,356 views

    “The trumpet, scattering its awful sound. Across the graves of all lands, Summons all before the throne. Remember, gentle Jesus, that I am the reason for your time on earth, do not cast me out on that day, When the damned are confounded, and consigned to keen flames, call me with the blessed.”

    BYOB stands for Bring Your Own Beverage. Today’s parable is about preparing for our individual and irrevocable particular judgment at death and it is always a Bring Your Own Oil affair—BYOO. [Thanks to Troy Borst for this phrase] The inevitable sleep of death overtook all ten of them, and our ...read more

    Some things have no place in the life of God's people. Our responsibility is to reflect the character of our Heavenly Father.

    “Having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work ...read more

    The Bible consistently teaches that Christians are not only to be seen, but also to be heard. If we have the only message that shows how to get back to God, then God forbid we keep that message to ourselves!

    Certain concerns we should have during the Christmas season in 2002.

    INTRO.- Jesus said, “Don’t worry about your life.” BUT WE DO. We do worry about lots of things.

     | 2,799 views

    We are to add on and be able to answer when asked about our faith.

    How many of us have heard it said from some one near to us, “If you love me, you will love me as I am.” It is the nature of true love to love what is unlovely and even the unlovable. As we read our bibles we find that the word for this deep love is agape. Romans 5:8 “But God commends his love ...read more
