Already/Not Yet

Grace Chapel Wilsonville

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Jen examines the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25. In the story, five of the ten virgins ran out of oil while waiting for the bridegroom’s appearance. They weren’t prepared. As they went to buy more oil, the five wise virgins went into the banquet hall and the door was locked. The days we live in are uncertain, yet we have eternal hope in Jesus. As we live in the end times, how are you waiting? In expectant preparation? Are you using the time wisely, preparing for Jesus’ return? Or are you hoping you’ll have time to clean yourself up before Jesus gets here? What about in relation to others—are you spending the days sharing the Good News so that others can be prepared as well? Equip your hearts and minds with this encouraging message.
