DENNIS
Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor of Central United
Methodist Church.
In the bible, Jesus tells the story of 10 young bridesmaids waiting on the
groom to return home with his bride. Five of them were prepared to greet
the new couple, but the others were not. These five did not take enough oil
to keep their lamps lit during the delayed return of the groom. So, they had
to leave in search for more. But, when they returned, it was too late.
In our fast-pace world, we tend to overlook the necessary things in life,
while focusing on the less important. Jesus warns us to not become
negligent in our walk of faith.
One commentator said, “We can ensure that our lamp is always full of oil by
living humbly, being a comfort to others, being merciful, seeking justice
and insisting on peace.”
Do you see areas in your life where you have been negligent? What can you
do this day to ensure your lamp is full of oil?
Central wants to help you in your walk of faith. I invite you to come and be
a part of our community. Worship times are 8:30, 9:45, and 10:55. See you
Sunday. God Bless.
