SHUT - Matthew 25:10 - Video

There's a moment at every airport gate when the door closes — and it doesn't matter if your flight is still sitting right there. It doesn't matter if your departure time hasn't come yet. The door is shut, and no amount of sprinting, pleading, or explaining where you stopped for lunch is going to open it back up.

That's exactly the picture Jesus paints in Matthew 25.

In this gripping sermon on the Parable of the Ten Virgins, we come face to face with one of the most sobering realities in all of Scripture: God, and God alone, determines when the door shuts — and when it does, it is shut forever. From Noah watching the rain begin to fall on a world that had 200 years to listen, to King Agrippa who was almost persuaded to become a Christian, to the foolish virgins frantically searching for oil they should have had all along — the pattern is unmistakable.

But here's the hope: if you're hearing this right now, the door hasn't shut yet. There is still time. The question is — what are you doing with it?

This message will challenge you to stop assuming you have more time than you do, start preparing with urgency, and never mistake almost ready for ready.

The bridegroom is coming. Are your lamps full?
