It’s About Time: What If the Moment You’re Waiting For Is Already Here?

What if the moment you’ve been waiting for isn’t coming? What if it’s already here?In this sermon, we explore what the Bible means when it talks about “the right time”—and why following Jesus may have less to do with waiting for the perfect moment and more to do with recognizing that this moment matters.Drawing from Romans 13 and Matthew 18, we’ll look at the difference between chronos—the ordinary passing of time—and kairos—a moment that is ripe with possibility, meaning, and purpose.And that raises a powerful question:What would change if you lived today as though God is already present in the middle of it?From Harry Potter and the end of summer to Dolly Parton’s music and the surprising power of hope, this sermon invites us to wake up to the sacred possibilities already around us.How to recognize a “kairos” moment when life gives you oneWhy fear doesn’t get the final wordWhat it means to love your neighbor in real lifeHow to approach conflict without losing sight of one anotherWhy Christian hope is more than wishful thinkingHow to live as though Jesus really is in our midstMaybe you’ve been waiting for the right time to change something, repair something, begin something, or simply pay attention.It’s about time.The question is: What will you do with this moment?Romans 13:11–14Matthew 18:15–20St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is a welcoming Episcopal community in Del Mar where curiosity, compassion, and community come together.Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, asking questions, or somewhere in between, there’s room for you here.What You’ll Take AwayScriptureFrom St. Peter’s Episcopal Church00:00 Opening Prayer00:14 Its About Time02:15 Love Fulfills Law03:05 Jesus in Our Midst05:10 Fear Versus Faith05:42 Summer Music Reflections06:28 Harry Potter and Dolly08:31 Light of Clear Morning09:26 Sacred Hope Forward
