The Church: Defined. The Preparation
Feb 9, 2025 • Bruce Humphrey
The parable of the ten virgins really drives home the point about being ready for Christ's return. It taps into old Jewish wedding traditions to show why it’s smart to keep up with things like prayer, understanding the Scriptures, and being part of a church community. In the story, the virgins who bring extra oil are like those of us who stay on top of our spiritual game, using what God gives us wisely. The ones without enough oil? They're caught off guard. This story is a friendly reminder to keep building strong spiritual habits, help others, and keep growing our relationship as we await Jesus' return!
