    Waiting for Jesus return can make people grow complacent about the fact that He IS indeed coming back, and it really will be soon.

    Ready and Waiting? by Steve Keeler Matthew 25:1-13 Jesus is telling a story about ten virgins who are like bridesmaids at a wedding. In order to make sense of Jesus' story, we need to understand a bit about Jewish wedding customs. Traditionally, the groom would leave from his house and travel, ...read more

    Are You Ready For The Bridegroom?

    In the parable of the 10 virgins 5 make it to the banquet while 5 miss out. The difference was in the preparation - a lack of oil. Are we spiritually prepared or do we lack the oil?

    Message Are You Ready? Let’s play a game – it is called “I Wonder”. I wonder if the student who got an “F” on their maths test would have studied more the night before if they had known that this was going to be their grade? I wonder if the alcoholic would ...read more

    Oil In Your Lamp?

    In Matthew 25:1-13, Jesus tells the Parable of the Ten Virgins, this message from the text asks the crucial question are we ready for Christ's return?

    The hymn we have just sung asks a pointed question. A question that I fear too often we dismiss in our daily lives. With all the concerns of living in the present moment - with all of the accompanying joys or frustrations - we fail to give much thought to the final moment. That moment when time, as ...read more

    Jesus wants us to be prepared for His return, to be faithful and wise servants who are actively involved in the work of His Kingdom. We need to keep watch and stay invested in His Kingdom.

     | 23,053 views

    Jesus reveals a parable of the Ten Virgins - each having their own lamp, but only five had oil in their lamps. When the call sounded to meet the Bridegroom, only five were ready. We must have oil in our lamps when the call is sounded to meet the Lord.

    Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh Matthew 25: 1-13 We have read another of Jesus’ parables. Parables were used of our Lord to communicate a heavenly truth through an earthly illustration. This parable was given to the people of Israel, but there is application and instruction for each of us. In ...read more

    (Appropriate for Watchnight or New Year's Eve service as well.) As Christians we live in the certainty that Jesus is coming again. It could be today, tomorrow, or any moment. We need to wake up, clean up, and grow up.

    Romans 13:11-14 A Wake-up Call A priest and pastor were standing by the side of the road holding up a sign that read, "The End is near! Turn around before it's too late!" One speeding motorist yelled out his window, “Leave us alone, you religious nuts!” as he flew by. From around the ...read more

    Our Heavenly Father wants to invite you and me to a wedding. It is not a regular invitation and it is no ordinary wedding. The flight is paid for and the destination is Heaven. The reception is to take place on earth.

    Message: Summer can be a very busy time as we try to squeeze in vacation, visits to family and friends and respond to all those invitations. 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
