A Time Of Focus Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Nov 8, 2021

As the days get shorter, and the nights get colder, fall is a great time to look deep into our souls. It’s a time to delight in the details of beauty around us, reflect on where we have been, and focus on where we are going.

Times Of Refreshing

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 23, 2021

Religious history shows that God periodically sends spiritual stirrings! But Charles Finney proved that God is ready to send His Spirit when the conditions for revival are right. We must seize these seasons of refreshing to bring revival to our world.

TIMES OF REFRESHING Acts 3:19-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There are a lot of people who need revival! 2. One lady, Vickie, called a lawyer’s office. She made an appointment with their Family Law department. 3. "How can I help you, ma’am?" asks the lawyer. "Is it true," ...read more

Fullness Of Time

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Dec 2, 2021

The birth of Christ did not happen all of the sudden. From the beginning of creation, this plan of God of sending His Son into the world was revealed. In Galatians, Paul describes a moment in history when everything was in place and the stage was all set for Christ to be born.

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law. Galatians 4:4 What does fullness of time mean? It is like eagerly waiting for something and suddenly the time comes very appropriately. Like a ripe apple ready to be picked. In this context ...read more

Rerdeeming The Time

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

The Book of Colossians covers some very important topics. None are more important than what we are going to cover in this passage of scripture. This passage of scripture has a great deal to say about PRAYER.

Many of the things we hear today about PRAYER, have to do with the fact that prayer is a No! No! For example, Carolyn Copeland gives us this story in the Christian Reader. - The daughter of our pastor was asked to give the closing prayer at her high school graduation. A Jewish student was asked to ...read more

Faith In Time

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Dec 24, 2021

Have you ever thought about your "moments in time" and how once you have completed them they are over. This year-end/New Year's message looks at our choices and the time we lose that we will never get back.

Faith in Time Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: Matthew 6:24; 33; Philippians 4:13; 19 If I were to ask you “What time is it?” all of you would check your watch or phone to tell me the time.

In The Mean Time...

Contributed by John Newton on Jan 15, 2022

God has promised us a new creation and empowers us to live it in the here and now, as it has already been purchased for us through Jesus’ death on the cross.

Years ago (in fact it was the first summer after we were married), Karen and I decided that we would spend our summer vacation visiting her relatives and my birthplace here in Nova Scotia. We didn’t have a large salary between us, and we were young and adventuresome, so we decided that it would be ...read more

In Times Like These

Contributed by Larry Grant on Apr 3, 2022

When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, He went to the Temple and looked around. When Jesus visited the Temple the next day, He saw some things that He didn’t like and gives us insight on the church today. They knew Jesus was in town and yet it changed nothing!

Luke 19:45-48 IN TIMES LIKE THESE April 3, 2022 Intro: Just the day before, Jesus had presented Himself to the people in Jerusalem, as their King and as their Messiah, in fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9. “Thy King is coming… riding on a donkey.” The people praised Jesus ...read more

Discerning The Times

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 5, 2022

Why is it important to use discernment.

Discerning the Times Luke 12:49-56 The Revised Common Lectionary sometimes has a very awkward passage selection. In this case, the passage begins in the middle of a discourse by Jesus.

The Timing Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

What we want to see is that though timing may not be everything to Christmas it is plenty, and a focus on the timing of Christmas events can be quite revealing.

Timing may not be everything, but it is plenty. At the dedication service of the Statue of Liberty a boy was to wave a flag indicating that Senator William Evarts had finished his speech. This way the signal for men high in the head of the statue to let go of a giant French flag, which in turn ...read more

The Gift Of Time

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 19, 2022

There was a time when we bought a gallon of gas we would pull in at any gas station that was available. Gas was plentiful and Gas was cheap.

Illus: Remember, in this country there was a time they had gas war among the gas stations. During those days many years ago we could buy gas 29 cents a gallon and the service station owner came out and pumped the gas for us. You could fill your car up for five dollars. But when OPEC got involved ...read more

Hard Times

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 1, 2022

Life is full of ups and downs. God wants us to always stay focused on Him when times or good or bad. Don’t give up on God, but don’t forget about Him either.

For the past few weeks we've been talking about things like betrayal, temptation, and the injustices in our lives. Today I want to group all of that together and just talk a little bit about hard times in general. Life is full of ups and downs. A star quarterback throws a game-winning ...read more

Called For Such A Time Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 21, 2021

While we are thankful for the blessings associated with our relationship with Christ, we know living the Christian life is difficult at best. Life is not without adversity, but the Lord's provision and guidance are sufficient. He has brought us to this place in life for such a time as this.

Called for such a Time Esther 4: 10-17 The entire fourth chapter of Esther deals with her reaction to the decree signed by Ahasuerus regarding the Jews and the conversation she had with Mordecai concerning this disturbing plan. Our text today is a continuation of that conversation. One can only ...read more

Redeeming The Time Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

To begin our message, I want to point out a couple of concerns we often hear expressed by pastors and church leaders, which are: 1.) Christians rarely share their faith, and 2.) Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more

A Time To Stand Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

What are some specific circumstances that signal oppression by a government? And, as believers, what should be our first course of action, and when should we speak the truth?

In our last message in this series, I asked the following questions: “What would we, as believers, do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God or His Son, Jesus Christ?” “How could we practice our Christian faith and live according to biblical principles ...read more
