    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

    WAITING FOR THE LORD... MATTHEW 25:1-13 Introduction: Weddings are like breeding grounds for embarrassing moments, aren’t they?

    Sermon on being ready for the returned of Christ. no time to rest

    Matt 25:1-13, we read about five foolish virgins who had not adequately prepared for the coming of the bridegroom and their lamps went out. As they left to purchase more oil, the bridegroom arrived and everyone who was prepared went in with him to the marriage and the doors were shut. Later the ...read more

    Fifth in this series. The Parable of the Ten Virgins shows that I cannot live on someone else's oil.

    I still remember my first date with Mary. I know that she was really impressed when I picked her up in my banana yellow Ford Pinto, especially since it was the middle of summer and that car had no air conditioning – unless you call rolling down both windows and driving as fast as that car ...read more

    Most of us are too spiritual to think of eventualities in our planning thereby neglect taking precautions. The foolish five couldn’t go with the Groom because they refused to take precaution even when they saw others did. Wisdom is the principal thing!

    The story of the ten virgins in the book of Matthew 25:1-13 comes with a load of lessons and several sermons have been preached and are still being preached on it. Our focus today anyways is a critical look at the five that the Bible tagged “fool” among the ten virgins. What were ...read more

    This sermon addressed the problem of hypocrisy based on the Parable of the Ten Virgins. Hypocrisy can only be cured by recognizing it and by discovering Jesus' unhypocritical love for us.

    Introduction It’s foolish to be a pretender. Just ask John Corcoran. John never learned to read in elementary school. Somehow the teachers just kept passing him along. When he got to high school he became at expert at cheating. He turned in other people’s work. He said ...read more

    The Ten Virgins is a parable for the last day church, calling for its revival. It is important that we strengthen our personal walk but it is equally as important to help our fellow believer.

    Jesus was sitting atop the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem as the sun set into the west. The disciples had approached Jesus and commented upon the splendid glory of the Temple, with its white marble walls, gold and brass pilasters. The magnificent structure shown brightly in the setting sun ...read more

    Following up on His teaching in Matthew 24, Jesus gives an illustration from normal life about being ready for His coming or not.

    Passage: Matthew 25:1-13 Intro: The crisis in Japan has kind of faded into the background for us, though not for them. 1. fears of “the end of the world” have faded, as they invariably do. 2. other disasters, like tornados in SE. 3. but when we think about the end of the world, ...read more

    Our primary duty as Christians is to persevere diligently in the faith, despite mixed motivations, temptations to procrastinate, to fail to prioritize, or to wisely interpret daily invents in terms of the permanent rather than the temporary.

    Wise and Foolish Virgins/Christians In Wisdom 6: 12-16 it tells us that wisdom is of such great importance,it ultimately determines our destiny.And we know that the beginning of wisdom is fear of, or obedience to and respect for the Lord God.

    This parable challenges us to make sure we are prepared at all times to meet God. Whether via the Second Coming or at our death, we need to be ready. Not a good idea to be unprepared for His coming.

    Parable of the Ten Virgins Who here likes to paint? Who here plays an instrument? Most musicians or artists have stories of awkward moments when they were performing. Funny or awkward. The funniest I remember was when I was in a Christian rock band and we were starting a performance. The show ...read more

    A first-person narrative on the Parable of the Ten Virgins.

    Your pastor thought of giving me a name like Marsha or Morgan but it’s better that you just remember me as “moron” for that is what Jesus called me and that is what I am. Because of my short-sightedness and sloppy preparation I wound up missing a scrumptious wedding banquet. You ...read more

    The parable of the ten virgins is given to accentuate the incalculable importance of being spiritually prepared to meet Christ when He returns to earth, because after He appears, unbelievers who are then alive will have no further chance for salvation.

    A fun part of summer are the frequent weddings that occur. So much has changed over the years with weddings. No longer just a formal service in a church with a standard liturgy and vows, now couples often write their own vows, and for the more ambitious couples, it may be an outdoor service at an ...read more

    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
