Sermon Series: The Time in Between
In the great timeline of human history, there are only two ultimately significant points:
The first time Christ came to our world to win salvation by his life, death, and resurrection
And the second time Christ will come to consummate his everlasting kingdom.
We live in the time in between those two points. It is a time of tension. We know that peace and perfection are ours already because of what Jesus did the first time he came. But we do not yet enjoy a peaceful and perfect existence, as we will when Christ comes again.
And so we wait and watch, living in the time in between. As the church year draws to a close, Scripture points us toward the end of time when Christ will come again. Until then Christ teaches us how to live in the time in between.
Week 3: A Time to Worship the King
For the last Sunday of the church year, we focus on Christ our King and the victory he won for us. Since by faith we share in that victory with Jesus, this time between his first coming and his second coming is a time for us to worship our King.
