    In the parable of the 10 Virgins, Jesus uses a wedding to describe the excitement about the Rapture. But it's also a warning. Half of the community of believers will not be ready when He comes. The Midnight Cry should wake us all to preparation.

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

    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
