Just Enough Is Not Enough

In this powerful sermon, Elder Allen Plumber delivers a stirring message titled "Just Enough is Not Enough," encouraging believers to live with a faith that is full, sustainable, and ready to meet the demands of the times.

Drawing from Matthew 25:8-9 and the broader context of Matthew 25:1-15, Elder Plumber challenges listeners to examine the state of their spiritual lives. Using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, he reminds us that being "half full" or even "half empty" simply isn't enough when it comes to living a life pleasing to God. Our spiritual reserves must be overflowing — not just for ourselves, but so we can support others when they are in need.

Key questions for reflection include:

• When was the last time you told someone, they needed to be saved?
• Can someone truly count on you for prayer and spiritual support?
• How bright is your light shining in a world that desperately needs hope?

Elder Plumber emphasizes that it’s not enough to "have just enough" — we must pursue a deeper, lasting relationship with God that can sustain us through trials and empower us to pour into others.
