📖 Scripture:  Matthew 25:1–13 🎙 Message:  “The Parable of the Ten Virgins” – Rev. Romy Velasco In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a parable about waiting — waiting that requires wisdom, preparation, and faithfulness. The story of the Ten Virgins reminds us that following Christ is not about last-minute readiness, but about a life shaped by trust and obedience. As the wedding procession is delayed, some are prepared and others are not. The parable calls listeners to examine how they

📖 Scriptures:  Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2; Matthew 16:27; Revelation 1:7 🎙 Message:  “The First and Second Coming of Christ” – Rev. Romy Velasco From the prophets of the Old Testament to the final visions of Revelation, Scripture tells one unfolding story — God’s promise to come near and to make all things new.

📖 Scriptures:  Matthew 3:13–17; Colossians 1:15–20 🎙 Message:  Baptism of the Lord – Rev.

📖 Scripture:  Matthew 2:1–12 🎙 Message:  “The Wise Men” – Rev. Romy Velasco Epiphany Sunday celebrates the revealing of Jesus Christ to the world.
