The Parable of the Ten Virgins

Matthew 25:1-13
HUMOR: Two little boys stood behind the church door as a newly married couple was leaving the church. One boy said to the other, "Do you want to see me scare 'em real good?" The other boy replied, "Yea, do it!"

As we have studied over the past couple of weeks, there are many indications that the Lord could come back today! There have been many who have claimed to be Christ, and were not, even in our day. There ...
