    Introduction: There is an old saying that we sometime quote as true, but we need to be careful quoting it, because it only contains part of the truth.

    The quote is, "You can always tell a man by the company he keeps." Can you? Always? No, this is not always the truth. For example, Jesus kept company with many that society had rejected. (1) HE KEPT COMPANY WITH LEPERS Now in first-century Palestine, lepers were viewed with horror ...read more

And the Bible said that He taught them many parables. For example, in our scripture today, He used the parable of “The ...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?
