Ready for the Bridegroom | A Mature Faith in an Age of Confusion

Summerside Community Church

Join us as Tracy shares a timely reminder to live ready—not later, but right now. Wrapping up the teaching series on the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, she reflects on what it means to keep our lamps full with oil, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Tracy highlights how oil—and spiritual maturity—can’t be rushed. It’s formed through time with Jesus, through surrender, trust, and consistent presence. This message isn’t about striving harder but about staying close. We’re invited to abide in Him, to hear His voice, and to allow His Spirit to shape who we’re becoming. Just like the wise bridesmaids couldn’t share their oil, we’re reminded that no one else can cultivate our relationship with Jesus for us. The call is personal and present. Now is the time to stay awake, live with intention, and walk in step with the Spirit—not out of fear, but out of deep love and joy for the One who’s already near.
