This sermon explores the importance of aligning our lives with God’s timing and purposes. It emphasizes that as Christians, we are called to submit to God’s formation process, which often involves the cross and trials that shape us into the image of Christ. By living on “God’s time” and being attentive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we can experience supernatural fruitfulness, redemption, and the fulfillment of our God-given identities and assignments.
Key Points:
- God’s primary aim is to form Christ in us, and every season of life serves this purpose.
- We must learn to discern and submit to God’s timing, even when it involves challenges or doesn’t align with our own desires.
- Obedience to the seemingly small promptings of the Holy Spirit can have significant long-term impacts on our lives.
- Intimacy with Jesus is the source of all fruitfulness and should be prioritized above all else.
- God multiplies our time and efforts when we live according to His will and timing.
- We must be willing to make sacrifices and live with the disapproval of others as we follow God’s leading.
- God can redeem past regrets, mistakes, and wasted time when we turn to Him in repentance.
