"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time..." — Ephesians 5:15-16
Are you so busy managing your schedule that you're missing what God is doing right in front of you? In this timely message, guest speaker Pastor Beau Norman from The Hill Church breaks down the tension we all face: "Between the Clock and Calling."
We structure our daily lives around chronological time (Chronos), but God's supernatural movement happens in divine moments (Kairos). When the woman with the issue of blood reached out to touch Jesus' garment in Mark 5, Jesus stopped the clock in the middle of a pressing crowd to meet her faith. Join us as we learn how to walk wisely, look beyond the ticking clock, and step into the divine appointments God has orchestrated for our lives.
IN THIS MESSAGE:
Chronos vs. Kairos: Understanding the difference between ordinary chronological time and the appointed, divine moments where God steps in.
The Interruption of Faith: How faith acts as the substance that pulls us out of the daily rush and into an encounter with Jesus.
Are You Missing Life?: Practical wisdom on how to make the best use of our days and align our schedules with God's ultimate calling.
SERMON NOTES & OUTLINE:
I. WALKING IN WISDOM & REDEEMING TIME
Wisdom calls us to make the best use of our time. Faith serves as our "title deed"—the tangible substance of things hoped for and the evidence of unseen divine purpose.
Scripture: Colossians 4:5, Hebrews 11:1, Ephesians 5:15-17
II. CHRONOS VS. KAIROS
God created Chronos (tick-tock time), but He moves in Kairos (divine, opportune moments). We live inside the clock, but real life is found in God's appointments.
Key Question: Are you so busy living that you're missing life?
III. POWER IN THE DIVINE APPOINTMENT
In the midst of a packed schedule and pressing crowds, Jesus stopped for a woman whose faith demanded a miracle. When we reach beyond our circumstances to touch Jesus, power moves.
Scripture: Mark 5:25-30
