Three Powerful Takeaways

  1. Time began with God.
    Genesis 1:1 introduces time — “In the beginning…” — but God existed before that.
  2. God is outside of time.
    He is eternal: no beginning, no end. “From everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” (Psalm 90:2)
  3. Our time is limited — but God’s purposes are eternal.
    Understanding God’s time reshapes how we live today.

Three Follow-Up Questions

  1. What does it mean that God exists outside of time?
  2. How would your life change if you truly believed God sees the beginning and end at once?
  3. How are you using your limited time for things that matter in eternity?

✅ Three Powerful Takeaways

  1. Time didn’t exist until God created the universe.
    Genesis 1:1 marks not just creation, but the start of time as we know it — “Universe Time.”
  2. God operates in “God Time” — eternal, limitless, outside our clocks.
    From eternity past to eternity future, God simply IS.
  3. Creation glorifies the God who exists beyond it.
    Psalm 19:1 reminds us: every galaxy is a billboard pointing to God’s glory.

❓ Three Follow-Up Questions

  1. What’s the difference between “God time” and “universe time”?
  2. How does knowing God existed before time reshape how you view the universe?
  3. If creation glorifies God, how should we respond to the beauty of what He’s made?

Three Powerful Takeaways

  1. God created Earth time.
    Genesis 1 marks not just the beginning of matter, but the beginning of measured time — “evening and morning, the first day.”
  2. Earth time has never changed.
    From that first day until now, our planet has rotated under the same 24-hour rhythm — by God’s design.
  3. One day, Earth time will end.
    Revelation 21 promises a new heaven and new earth — and likely, a new kind of time: eternity, unmeasured.

Three Follow-Up Questions

  1. Why is it significant that God defined a “day” at creation?
  2. How should we live differently knowing time has a divinely-set beginning and end?
  3. What does it mean to prepare for eternity beyond Earth time?

Theme“Mankind Time & Grace Time: Your Window Is Closing”

Hook“You’re living in a limited window called ‘Grace Time’ — and one day soon, it will slam shut.”

Three Powerful Takeaways

  1. Mankind Time began with Adam.
    Genesis 1:26–27 shows humanity was created in God’s image — and time for human life began.
  2. Grace Time is God’s mercy window.
    From Eden’s fall to the final judgment, God gives humanity time to respond to His offer of rescue through Jesus.
  3. Time will end, but eternity will continue.
    Every person will spend eternity either with God in a new creation or separated in judgment (Revelation 20).

Three Follow-Up Questions

  1. Do I understand that I live inside God’s “Grace Time”?
  2. Have I responded to God’s rescue through Jesus Christ while I still have time?
  3. What would I do differently if I believed that this window of grace is temporary?
