Here is the audio of Dr. Ben Lovvorn’s sermon on Matthew 25:1-13, “Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late.” When we stand before Jesus Christ one day, we will either be found ready or found wanting. This seemingly simple story, Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins, includes one of the most sobering warnings in all of Scripture. Christ cautions His followers to make sure they are ready . . . really ready.

This sermon is part of our Be Prepared discipleship emphasis for summer 2025. You can download a free PDF of our Be Prepared discipleship booklet, which has application questions based on this message, by going to firstdallas.org/prepare. 

We would love for you to partner with us to support the mission of First Baptist Dallas, which includes creating biblical resources like Be Prepared, by giving online here: firstdallas.org/fbdgive.

Dr. Ben Lovvorn serves as the Senior Executive Pastor at First Baptist Dallas.
