chapter five i'm gonna go to two places ephesians chapter 5 and i'm going to begin reading it verse 14. but while you're turning there you know i have to say so i know we said but wasn't it amazing to see all those graduates wow world changers earth shape is there and and i'm sure we have a lot of proud parents that are probably sitting here and uh um of those children that's right you can woo they deserve it amen and speaking of that proud parents i know we have some proud moms too and um just want to remind all of you mothers that this saturday this saturday we're having our mother's day

it's going to be awesome amen all right you ready to get into the word ephesians 5 beginning at verse 14. it says this therefore he says awake you who sleep arise from the dead and and christ will give you light see then that you walk circumspectly not as fools but wise redeeming the time because the days are evil verse 17 therefore do not be unwise but understand what the will of god is and do not be drunk with wine where there's dissipation but be filled with the spirit now jump over to isaiah chapter 60 i'm going to read a couple passages it says arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the lord is risen upon you for behold the darkness shall cover the earth and the deep darkness and the deep darkness the people but the lord will arise over you and his glory shall be seen upon you i love that here it is verse 3 the gentiles shall come to your light and the kings to the brightness of your rising i want to speak to you this morning if you're taking notes you want to jot down a subject or a topic really simple i want to call it it's time to shine it's time to shine in each day there are 24 hours 1440 minutes in 86 400 seconds and every one of them is a precious gift from god every tick of the clock records the ever lessening opportunities of life understand that time is something we feel we never have enough but yet we give it away so easily one writer put it like this someone once said that time is free but it's priceless you can own it but you can't use it you can keep it but you can't spend it once you've lost it you can never get it back speaking of time in the bible the bible uses two words to describe time it uses the word chronos and it also uses the word kairos kronos speaks of the extent of time or the quantity of time but when it comes to cairo's cairo speaks of the of the kind or the quality of time one translation speaks of it as an opportune time a unique time a specific time a time that has been allotted or time that is set aside that in within that time that kairos moment it there's the possibility of of something or someone having significa when there is a kairos moment an opportune time it's a time that god will use in that moment to change the trajectory or to shift an atmosphere or impact something or someone in a significant way i believe that today that we all have an opportune time we have an opportunity with time and the life that we've been given to make a difference for the kingdom of god listen there was this business man he was a very wealthy businessman and he invited a group of his most ambitious executives young single executives to his home for dinner after the dinner he took them all out to the backyard and he showed them his olympic uh swimming pool but yet there was an alligator in the swimming pool and he looked to all of them and he said this he said i'm about to give you an opportunity of a lifetime he goes i want he says whoever can jump in this pool and swim to the other side he said i'll give you the biggest promotion he said i'll write you the biggest bonus and he said on top of that i'll give you an opportunity to date my daughter who is dead gorgeous beautiful and before he could get the words out of his mouth there was a huge splash and a clump and all of a sudden they all looked around and was trying to figure out who it was and there was one of the executives in the in that pool like michael phelps beating the water with everything that he had and if you look you saw the alligator right there on his tail but as he got right to the end and he's able to climb out i mean inches away the alligator almost had a good bite out of him and he got out of the pool huffing and puffing he ran straight over to the businessman and the businessman said well he started reaching for his checkbook and he pulled out a pen and he said stop he said sir i need to say something he said i don't want your promotion he said i don't want a bonus and he says i care nothing about dating your daughter but i do want to know who's the sucker that pushed me in this water who's the sucker i don't know if this guy saw this as an opportunity of a lifetime we often use this phrase opportunity of a lifetime but i want to say to you listen that your lifetime is an opportunity your lifetime god has given you an opportunity to make a difference to make an impact our lifetime that we have been given god wants to use us hear me what i'm saying to set things in motion he wants to use us to to set things in motion that will keep living after we have died he wants to use us to watch this to touch tomorrow today he wants to use our lies to leave legacy for generations to come but understand the legacy that you leave is the legacy that you have to live the legacy you want to leave tomorrow is the legacy you have to start leaving today but we all need to realize that god has given all of us with this lifetime an opportune time to make a difference you see the scripture tells us that oftentimes opportunities can be met with great opposition first corinthians 16 9 the apostle paul says a huge door of opportunity for good work has opened up here but there is also listen to this mushrooming opposition paul said god has opened up a huge opportunity to advance the kingdom to evangelize to win souls he said but with it comes great opposition i want to encourage someone this morning that when god opens up a door especially when it comes to advancing his kingdom and it's for his purpose don't be afraid or don't be shocked that with that great opportunity comes great opposition but i want to encourage you if the opposition come don't you back up don't you acquiesce don't you fold under pressure don't you give in but could it be that the opposition that you're facing is the very confirmation that god called you to do that and to be that and to walk through that door the scripture teaches us teaches us the reality of time that time number one is confined james 4 14 says that what is your life is but a br a vapor is here one moment and gone the next it tells us that time is fleeting psalms 90 verse 12 says this to teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom proverbs 27 1 says that times are uncertain it says do not boast about tomorrow for you do not know what the day may bring forth understand that life is filled with uncertainties and if you haven't noticed that over the last couple years we've lived in uncertain times things change life change stuff happen life happens to us all and some things we're prepared for some things we're not prepared for but here's the thing that i want to encourage you this morning you have to know that if we are having uncertain times your faith and trust have to be in a certain god your faith and trust has to be in a god that does not change listen times will change people will change circumstance will change culture will change society will change but the one thing that will remain the same is your god you have a certain god that remains certain at any uncertain time times may be uncertain but you have to be certain you got to know that he that began a good work in you will perform it and complete it i am certain right in the middle of uncertainty i am certain that the lord is on my side i'm certain that god is for me i'm certain that greater is he that is in me than he that's in the world i'm certain that the lord will never leave me nor forsake me sometimes i feel like he's left me sometimes i feel like i'm lonely sometimes i get confused sometimes i got more questions than i got answered but deep down inside i am certain that even when it seems like he's silent he has not left me i don't know who i'm preaching to this morning but you need to understand that your god is certain if he blessed you once he can bless you again if he healed you once he can heal you again if he brought you out once he can bring you out again if he blessed you and prospered you he can prosper you again i don't care what circumstances say i don't care what people say god has the last word over your life and he is a certain god and whatever he promised you whatever he told you whatever he prophesied to you the vision the dream it will come to pass he what come on he's a certain god times the reality of time and then there's the repercussions of time what do you mean javon us our text said that see then that you walk circumspectly not as fool but it's wise cautiously and sensitively redeeming the time because the days are evil notice what it said that these would be evil times and paul in his letters to timothy he began to describe these evil times are you ready he's he spoke of one time as being the latter times in first timothy chapter four listen to this he said now the spirit speaks expressively that in the latter times some would depart from the faith given he to deceive in spirits and doctrines of demons speaking lies of hypocrisy having their own conscience seared with a hot iron he's speaking about apostasy he's speaking about people falling away did you catch that people falling away and notice we said deceiving spirits seducing spirits one translation said satan inspired teachers another one said this doctrines of devils in other words contradictions to the bible polluting truth and rejecting parts of it oh my god if that don't just sound like the times that we're living in but we have to remember that the word of god is not a menu it's a manual we don't get to pick and choose we don't have to get to pull out what we like and what we don't like and listen i want to say this if you didn't author it you can't change it no come on somebody only god has copyrights over his word i don't care what you feel i don't feel that that's right i don't think that that's right that doesn't seem like truth to me i don't care what you'll seem you'll feel or look like or feel like god's word is god's word and it is forever settled in heaven he said there would be perilous times know this in the last days perilous times will come men's will be lovers of themselves lovers of money boasters proud blasphemers disobedient uh to parents unthankful unholy unloving unforgiving slanderous without self-control brutal despisers of good it sounds like doom and gloom dog traitors headstrong haunty love is a pleasure rather than lovers of god having a form of godliness and denying the power thereof oh if you think it it's going to get a little bit worse he said there will be compromising times in second timothy 4 3 through 4. he said that the time will come where people will not endure listen to this sound doctrine but according to their own desires because they have itching ears they will heap upon themselves teachers and they will turn their ears away from truth and be turned aside to fables it speaks of compra compromising times where people i wrote it down like this where people who used to have the standards and used to have morals and values somewhere along the line have warded them down have lowered them remember a standard is not something that you live up to a standard it's something that you refuse to live beneath understand that yeah yeah i'm going to go there just start justifying lifestyles justifying actions justifying well it's not that bad it's not that it's just a little lie it's just a little sin i'm just a little a little a little a little leaven leavens the whole love it doesn't matter come on somebody and listen to me let me tell you about compromise come on today's compromises will end up in tomorrow's captivity small compromises block big blessings compromise with a little thing it's a matter of time before you compromise with big things you're either drawing near to god or you're being drawn away from god one of the two there is no middle ground but paul is he's coming through timothy but see it sounds bad but he's saying these are the times that we're living in and here hear me what i'm about to say everything that i just read to you was not the world oh get no response there everyone was describing church folk paul was writing to timothy concerning the congregations that he was serving this is what was happening to church people but paul was not coming to excite fear he was not coming to get timothy in an uproar but he was coming to encourage him that's why he told him he said endure hardship like a good soldier he said stand on your ground and stay in faith don't forget the prophecy that was over your life in other words he was saying just because these things are happening it doesn't mean that god is still not working don't you let what a few people do what culture do and society do society do keep you from doing what god has called you to do he said it's i'm actually encouraging you because what he was actually saying if there was ever a time that people needed a gospel it's in these times if there was ever a time that people needed to hear about jesus it's in these times if there's ever a time that come on our nation and the nations of the world need to hear about a man named jesus in a place called calvary a living hope a savior and a deliverer a healer come on and a helper they need to hear it now and what he was saying to timothy this is your time i want to say to the church this morning this is our time boy i feel like that ufc guy it's time that's what i want to say i have to get that out it is time for us to shine like we've never shined before it's time for the church of the living god to stand up and be everything that god this is not a time to draw back this is not a time to acquiesce i don't care what they say i don't care what people are doing away with the media away with the naysayers away with the liars away with the hypocrites jesus christ is lord we're going to keep preaching it we're going to keep proclaiming it we're going to keep come on somebody we're going to keep living it i don't care who falls away jesus is still if i just need about three christians right now to give jesus a handclap of praise and i'll move on history [Applause] he said this you see the bible thing see the devil thinks it's his time revelation let me tell you why revelation 12 12 says woe into the inhabitants of the earth of the earth and see for the devil which watches has come down to you having great wrath because he knows he has but a short time he has a short time so he comes with great wrath but watch this let me say this is the devil more time conscious than the church because he's doing everything to get people into hell but are we doing everything to get people into heaven and i'm not talking about the building i'm talking about all of us do you have an urgency for heaven do you have an urgency for the eternal do you have an urgency to realize that these are not normal times and usual times these are times if ever god needed his church his people are in these times that's why the scripture said ephesians paul come through ephesians can i just roll with it he said it's up to us to redeem the time it means to buy up the moments and the opportunities that others have passed away others have thrown to the side for others throw away we take up if you don't want to use it we'll use it if you don't want to take advantage of it we'll take advantage of it and redeeming the time and he said there's two ways that you have to do it redeeming the time because the days are evil are you ready he said be not unwise not knowing number one what the will of god is he said you got to know if you're going to redeem the time you have to know what the will of god is you will not know the will of god if you're not in the word of god if you neglect the will of god is to neglect i mean the word of god is to neglect the will of god some people i just want to know his will i just want to know his will it's not going to fall out of the sky if you want to know his will read his will if you read the bible you will know his will and why is that important the bible said the word is a lamp unto my feet and a light and to my path and in dark times you need something that can light up the right path that you need to go the will of god is found in the word of god in a society in a time that's full of lies and deception we need to know the truth of god's word this word is true can i preach it this morning forever is the word of god settled in heaven see the person of christ gets you to heaven but the principles of christ help you live on earth and jesus said man cannot live by bread alone it is not a time to not pick up this book on a daily basis and spend time in it because i promise you there are many voices that are lying lying to us trying to lie to our children trying to lie to our grandchildren i fight them all the time it seems like every day my kids are coming home with something somebody crazy done set at school and especially when they're twisting the word of god and i have to sit them shut down and say oh no no the devil is a liar this is what the word of god says this is what the bible said come on somebody i know it seems elementary but you better know the will of god students you better know the will of god when you go into college when you go to that next level i promise you it's going to be important every time you sat in one of those practical comes in those classes the days you didn't want to be there you will thank them when you get to college when that stuff comes up out of you and said no no no that don't sound right they didn't teach me that at free chapel college they didn't teach me that in the word of god i have truth and then he said the will of god can i hurry and he said this and he said and be filled with the spirit of god he said be not drunk with wine where there's excess but be filled with the spirit you see because wine and drunkenness can only produce a temporary high but being filled with the spirit gives you a lasting joy and and and and i dare for preaching purposes and teaching points uh to reflect back my bc before christ's days because i know what it was like to be intoxicated yeah i know what it was like to be under the influence of alcohol uh yeah when you start when you become inebriated it it number one it start affecting the way you talk my words were start out bold but then they get slurred and sound funny and talk funny and next thing not only my words but then my walk i didn't have the stability that i had my walk kind of came different and and all and my attitude i guess that's why they call it liquid courage that something would rise up in me ready to fight anything and anybody once up god oh oh i'm oh so y'all y'all leaving me out there i'm the oh oh oh so i'm the only one with your saved self and such were some of you you sit there now dignified come on [Applause] all i'm trying to say is i'm admitting it i'm clean i'm delivered i'm set free now but i'm gonna tell you how i got there because i understood all those years i was under the influence of the wrong substance i was under the influence of a substance when i needed to be under the influence of the spirit and yes when i got filled with the holy ghost guess what it did something to me it changed the way that i talked i didn't have slurring speech but i had stammering tongues i walked different when i got filled i talked different when i got filled and yes i got more bold because the spirit of god will give you boldness and courage to stand up i don't know about you give me the holy ghost over any bottle give me the spirit of god over any drug give me the spirit of god over anything i need the power of the holy spirit in these days and times so that we can shine is there any baptized in the holy ghost field people in this service oh [Applause] now i got to finish here's what i've been trying to get the responsibility at times notice the scripture said this after they redeem they have a responsibility the scripture said this he said this in isaiah 60 to arise and shine and my then my glory shall come upon you there it is here it is you're ready i got to give it to you quick he said arise which means to get up it means to come up it means to come out of a place of complacency come out of a place of apathy come out a place of of of of of resignation come out of a place of mediocrity in other words it's time for us to go from being passive to being passionate again passionate about the things of god passionate about the word of god passionate about the house of god passionate about souls and passionate about spiritual things i got one question for you this morning are you just as passionate today as you were when you first tasted and seen that he's good do you love him more today than you loved him when you first met him because sometimes after we've been in this thing a while it's easy to start drifting and going through the motions and it's easy to kind of i kind of know how it flows now i got it that is a dangerous place to be you are positioning yourself to be spewed out of the mouth of god because that's what he calls lukewarmness and what god needs in these days and times is a passionate church that is on fire come on that is passionate about worship passionate about praise passionate about his presence but here's what he said are you ready somebody say it's time he said arise and shine and shine and matthew 5 gives us the the the teaching in this he said it's time for my church to shine i love this it says let your light so shine they're going to put it up you are the light of the world that's right go back you are the light of the world and a city set on a hill cannot be hidden keep going and it says nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket on a lap stand and it gives light to all who are in the house let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father are you ready stick with me notice what it said in the beginning it says that a city on a hilltop cannot be heard watch this what it speaks of is they would exalt the cities in the bible times would be elevated on hilltops watch this for visibility if you're ever going to israel and you ever go over to israel you'll see how their hills and certain cities are on the hilltop but they would elevate them for visibility what does that mean in other words when god says a city on a hilltop cannot be heared he says your elevation is about my visibility the reason why i blessed you the reason why i elevated you because when you shine you're not shining for you you're shining for me the elevation was for my visibility that when people see you blessed see you prosper see you in high places see you with influence see you with impact they come on they recognize that is not you that's me that elevated you to give me visibility [Applause] see that's what see see we celebrate this with esther when when we say ooh you come to the kingdom for such a time as this actually if you read it in context it was somewhat of a rebuke from mordecai you know why because what could see esther watch this now she was royalty now she was clean now she was washed had her hair did and stuff looking nice fingernails done pedicures manicures smelling good and mordecai said i see you but what he was saying don't you misinterpret this moment don't you don't you get it twisted i know you remember you were a little orphan girl and had not the king called you out goddammit you was an orphan until the king got a hold of you and now that the king has got you and blessed you and prospered you and wrapped you in robes of righteousness and gave your royalty and position and his kingdom don't get it twisted mordecai said all of that is not about you he said for you have come to the kingdom for such a time is this that position that prospering elevation is for not your shine that's about my shine you're gonna shine come on somebody you need to shine because there's a whole nation that is dependent upon you you gotta shine esther there's a whole nation that's dependent on you a nation that could be slaughtered a nation that could be could be torn down and just totally obliterated you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this it is not about you my shine it's not about me and that's why i'm gonna give you the last part and we're gonna bring it home that's why it said let your light so shine before men listen to this that they see your good works and glorify god watch this are you ready light that when it says light it's not equated with the good works it's the light that eludes the good works did you hear what i just said in other words and they said and they said and they will glorify me because you're good works but watch this it's not good works unless it's god works and the reason why it's good works it's a result of the work that god has done in you because he did a good work in you now he's doing good works through you and when people see those good works they glorify him and so what the light does watch this you have to be a rece a receiver before you can become a reflector i received the light be transformed by the light and now i can reflect the light and that's why we can't get it twisted that we are the light the bible said christ is the light the life of all men jesus is the light we're just reflectors of the light just like the moon doesn't have any light of its own the moon is a big reflector but the only way that the moon has light because it's been in the presence of the sun [Music] and the only way that we can arise and shine and shine to a hurting and broken world is that we will be people that remain in the presence of the sun and get filled with his life his life from his presence his life from his word his life from the house of god his life from from fellowship his life from encouraging one another it's only then the bible said this why is that important pastor jevon it said i love this and the gentiles will come to that light not only gentiles and the kings what do you mean it said watch this see don't nobody want to be saved i don't believe that jesus said the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few in other words when the gentiles see the real light they're going to come running maybe they don't come because it's not a it's a blinding light instead of a guiding light but he said when i see the light when the gentiles see a church that is shining forth with the light of the character of christ they will start coming they will start flocking they will start running because they want to know what is it about you that gives you that life what is it about you i know you're not flawless and i know you're not perfect but i see how you treat your wife i see how you treat your husband i see how you raise your kids what is it about you when you got laid off you act like it wasn't nothing you had like you had a peace or something that you wouldn't move what is it about you when you got the bad doctor's report you still came in with a smile on your face what is it about you when everybody else is going crazy but you're walking around singing to yourself with joy in your heart they want the real thing and now is the time that this real church would stand up it's time for us to be a glow-in-the-dark church in the darkest hour of our time so that the gentiles will come stand to your feet it's time for us to shine shine young person in that school sean student in that college graduates when you go into the workforce sean shine businessman sean educator shine teacher whatever sphere of influence that god has put you in remember you've been elevated for his visibility every promotion every blessing god said i got you there to be a light for me somebody needs to see me in there you may be someone's only bible you may be the difference between someone's life and death i stand here today i just thought about it but a man of name name of michael poston that was the man that told my wife about free chapel that told me about free chapel that ultimately i came to free chapel and got my life together he was a light he was shot every time he went in that bank he was beaming on shanna you need to come to church you need to come church need to come to church and in my darkest hour my darkest hour the thing that hit me was that church that man talked about where's that church that man talked about and i walked into that north campus church on fire and my god it was on fire because oh see somebody will change when they see the light but some people won't change till they feel the fire i felt the fire up there on the top of that hill and it has never ceased but i'm thankful there was a man that says i'm gonna shine the light every hand raise your hands right now and say lord use me to shine the light everywhere i go help me to shine the light everywhere i go help me to be bright for you help me to rightly reflect you use me i ask you for elevation for your visibility promotion for your visibility favor for your visibility help me to use my life to show you and reveal you and reflect you like never before from this day forward let me treat this time that i have left on earth as a kairos moment that i would use it to do everything i can to shine the light of your goodness of your greatness of your grace in jesus name with every head bowed every eye closed no one leaving no one moving because there's people in here that even from worship your heart has been stirred before the music even started something was already working on you and god used this service today to be the very thing to begin to shift things in your life today is a kairos moment for many people in this service you didn't realize it when you came but you realize it down this is not just another service this is not just another altar call this is not just another invitation right now is the opportune time that god wants to change the trajectory of your life and set you on a new path there's more to your life than what you've experienced there's more to your life than what you're dealing with and going through right now somebody's in a dark place somebody's in a in a cave of despair somebody is feeling hopeless and helpless and you've even said i don't know if i don't hear something in this service or if something don't touch me or minister to me i'm just ready to throw in the towel and give up this is your kairos moment god loves you so much that he would bring you right here in this time and tell you that now is the time and today is the day of salvation this is not just another altar call but this is your moment it's time for you to go to become a receiver so that you can be a reflector some of you about to come out of that alcohol you're about to come out of the bottle you're about to come out the bar when i talked about the holy ghost something grabbed you and you said i want that i want that i'm tired of this i want that but this is how you get that i'm about to give you an invitation it's going to position you to receive that are you ready every head vial and every eye close when i get to three if it's you and you know you need to respond right where you're standing i want you to shoot your hand up as quick as possible one if you say i'm in a dark place and i need the light of christ to bring me out two if you know that you're backslidden and falling away from god you become complacent and mediocre compromising and lifestyles doing things that you know that you shouldn't be doing for some of you you backslid and went back to things that god had delivered you from but he says today is the day come back home and three if i you're not you know i'm talking to you right there raise your hand raise it up high that's it raise it up hold it up hold up all over this building what about in the balcony anybody raise it up raise it up raise it up are you ready the bible said jesus will bring us out of darkness and transform us into his marvelous light so i'm gonna count to three one more time and every person with your hand raised as quickly as
