This week, Associate Pastor Mikal Walcott continued our series, Parables, showing how Jesus used stories to reveal what God’s Kingdom is like. He shared a practical message from Matthew 25, the parable of the wise virgins. This parable challenges us to stay awake, remain faithful, and live with urgency, ready for the return of Jesus. Pastor Mikal reminded us that readiness looks like cultivating daily intimacy with God, keeping our lamps filled with oil, and refusing to wait until the last moment to prepare our hearts.
