    Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

    INTRODUCTION Do you agree that in God’s master plan, there is no such thing as “coincidence”? A few weeks ago, your pastor asked if I would be willing to preach today. Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more

    A passage of teaching at the Fiji Officers councils 2021. This led to a discussion about what is the good oil that fuels our ministry and keeps us intentional.

    Being intentional: The parable of the ten virgins. Matthew 25:1-13 At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with ...read more

    We are called to be faithful to God and obey him. Being faithful is the meaning of waiting for the Lord to come. There will be no second chances when Christ returns.

    I am not talking solely about Christ's return today. We should live our lives in such a way that every day people see Jesus in us. And then, when Christ returns, we’ll be unashamed before Him.

    I want to start off today by naming a few random items. As I name these items, I want to know what do you think of as I name these things. A flashlight. A battery-operated radio. A cell phone charger. And bottled water. What do you think of? Usually when we gather items like these it is ...read more

    Throughout history, great men have confidently prophesied a coming spiritual awakening. God's miraculous works will be so evident that even skeptics will be amazed, leading to a widespread turning towards God and exposing hypocrisy for what it is: worked-up flesh.

    We were given insights to the judgment where all evil beasts and Satan, himself, were cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. Here in chapter 20 we see the first punishment upon Satan where he is cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.

    A thorough study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show his servants things which must shortly come to pass.

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

     | 1,295 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

    The Ten Bridesmaids story is an answer to the question of the disciples in Matthew 24:3. With the current wars, and protests, warnings about WWIII, people are again asking: When will the end come? Jesus simply says: "Watch and be prepared."

    In Jesus Holy Name November 12, 2023 Text: Matthew 25:10b,13 “The Missing Bride at the Wedding” This is a great parable about the danger of being unprepared. I know there have been weddings that I officiated, but the “bride” was 30 or 45 minutes late, so everyone just waited. ...read more
