Matthew 25:1-13

In this message we explore the parable of the ten virgins—a sobering reminder that preparation isn't optional in the Kingdom of God. This sermon confronts the danger of spiritual procrastination and surface-level faith with the chilling image of a closed door and a voice from within saying, “Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.” We’ll reflect on how some knock only when it’s too late, mistaking presence for relationship, routine for readiness.

With oil representing spiritual discipline, personal devotion, and daily obedience, this word challenges us to examine what we’re really carrying in our lamps. Are we living prepared or playing with delay? The call has already gone out. The Bridegroom is coming. The question is—when the door opens, will you be ready to enter, or will you be left outside knocking?
