Oil for the Last Hour

The sermon “The Parable of the Ten Virgins” (Matthew 25:1–13) reveals Jesus Christ’s powerful message about spiritual readiness for His return.

Through the story of ten bridesmaids — five wise and five foolish — Jesus shows that external religion without the inner life of the Holy Spirit cannot save.

This is not just an ancient wedding story — it’s a spiritual wake-up call for every believer. The wise virgins had oil — a symbol of God’s presence and living faith — while the foolish ones missed their moment because they weren’t prepared.

🔹 Key insights:

True readiness means walking daily in fellowship with Christ.

You cannot “borrow” faith — your relationship with God must be personal.

The door of grace will not stay open forever.

Jesus calls us: “Be watchful, for you do not know the day or the hour.”

This sermon invites you to examine your heart: Do you have oil in your lamp? Is your faith alive and burning?

📖 Key Scriptures:

Matthew 25:1–13; Matthew 24:44; 1 Thessalonians 5:4–6; 2 Corinthians 6:2; Psalm 51:12

🙏 Call to action:

Don’t wait for “the right time” to seek God — today is the day of salvation.
