The message this morning had three parts, each with a warning and each with a promise.
1. The parable of the wise and foolish virgins.
BE READY.
Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
2. The parable of the talents
BE PRODUCING
Matthew 25:29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
3. The exhortation to stand for righteousness in perilous times
BE HOLY
2 Timothy 3:12-14 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
