Red Lining

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

Are we prepared for the return of Christ? This powerful message draws from Jesus' parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25, challenging us to examine our spiritual readiness. Just as the wise virgins had extra oil for their lamps, we're called to nurture our relationship with God continuously. The parable reminds us that our faith journey is a marathon, not a sprint. We're urged to watch for the 'warning signs' God places in our lives, much like road signs that alert us to what's ahead. This isn't about fear, but about living with purpose and preparedness. Are we 'redlining' in our faith, constantly running on empty? Or are we taking action to deepen our connection with God through prayer, worship, and studying His word? The message encourages us to reject spiritual passivity and embrace courage, especially when life seems comfortable. Let's fill our spiritual tanks, not out of obligation, but out of love for our King, so we're ready whenever He returns.
