Keep Your Lamp Filled: The Parable, Prayer, and Presence

Pastor Dan explores Matthew 25's parable of the ten virgins to show that the real issue is not lamps but the oil of daily prayer. Drawing on his renewal leave, the stories of Daniel and the wedding at Cana, he encourages listeners to practice regular, focused prayer—uncluttered and rhythmic—to recognize Jesus' voice and be ready for his coming.

Through personal reflection and biblical examples, the sermon invites believers to relax, spend intentional time with God, and cultivate a consistent prayer life that fuels spiritual readiness and authentic witness.
