    Are You Ready For The Bridegroom?

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 7, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,769 views

    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

    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

    Flasks Of Oil!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 18, 2015
     | 5,304 views

    Alas, at the last minute the foolish ones ran out of stock and thus they missed the bridegroom and the marriage feast, and the door was shut!

    Flasks of oil! Mathew 25:4” the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.” Christian faith is disconcertingly shallow, as shallow as a puddle of water on a sidewalk these days! People daringly confess, “ I have no time for prayer, fasting or Bible reading! I’m just busy, ...read more
