NOW
Beloved congregation, today's sermon centers on a profound theme: "NOW."
When the sun rises, it doesn’t hold back, nor does it wait for the perfect moment; it shines its light immediately. Similarly, our lives, gifts from our Merciful Creator, are meant to be seized in the present moment.
Your moments are precious, your purpose grand, and your potential limitless. Don't squander even a single instant. Embrace the urgency of now.
Each second we're blessed with is an opportunity, a call to move, to act, and to embrace our destiny. When we say, "Perhaps tomorrow," we delay our divine calling, unknowingly sidelining the miracles awaiting us today.
The Scriptures teach us the significance of 'now'. When Jesus beckoned His disciples, they didn't hesitate; they followed instantly, recognizing the divine urgency.
You too are beckoned with the same immediacy. Our world is in flux, and its needs are pressing. Your divine purpose cannot wait. The voice that whispers a dream in your heart today doesn't promise tomorrow. It's a call to action, here and now.
So, whether it's restoring a relationship, chasing a God-given dream, aiding someone, or a simple act of faith, respond now. Our time is the currency of life, and it's invaluable.
As we depart today, let us vow to be stewards of the present, remembering God's time is always 'now'. Embrace His calling, fulfill your divine mission, and let His light shine through you in this very moment.
This is the Truth.
