Title:
Kenneth L. Nelson - "Ready or Not..." (November 7, 1999)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: 01:48. Sermon end time: 16:28.

  • While the Bible makes many allusions to Christ’s second coming, Rev. Nelson argues that that “when” is not for us to know. But in referencing the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, Rev. Nelson calls on his audience to always live in anticipation and preparedness. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: "Being prepared doesn’t happen at the last second, it is a way of life. We prepare for God’s presence in that future as we anticipate and look for signs of that reality, of God’s presence even now." (8:35)
