    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

    Jesus warns us to be ready for His return. He warns us because the danger and threat is real. To do so, He tells us story about 10 virgins who are waiting for the return of the Bridegroom. The parable is explained and applied to the hearer.

    In Annie Dillard’s Teaching a Stone to Talk, she talks about a British Artic expedition which set sail in 1845 to chart the Northwest Passage around the Canadian Artic to the Pacific ocean.

    On the whole being prepared isn’t a bad thing. In fact it can be downright crucial! Most people I know that have had a very difficult life, it is not that they could not have done much better in life, it was simply a lack of preparation.

    TITLE: READY OR NOT SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 25:1-13 I remember with great fondness growing up and spending weekends and holidays with my grandparents in Keyport, NJ.

    What must we do to prepare for Christ’s Coming? Should we closely follow world events, research prophecy and draw up wildly speculative timelines? Is there something spiritual that we should be looking at in ourselves?

    There are people who prepare, and people who don't. Three points - We don't know the day or hour, We do know Jesus will return for us, We need to prepare for his coming. Concludes with Apostles Creed

    Passage: Matthew 25:1-13 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their ...read more

    Last Sunday we had a gender reveal party to find out if we’re having a boy or a girl in April.

    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 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
