Theme: “What Is Time? God’s Clock Is Not Like Yours”
Hook: “Before clocks, calendars, and galaxies… there was God. And His time doesn’t tick like ours.”
✅ Three Powerful Takeaways
- Time began with God.
 Genesis 1:1 introduces time — “In the beginning…” — but God existed before that.
- God is outside of time.
 He is eternal: no beginning, no end. “From everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” (Psalm 90:2)
- Our time is limited — but God’s purposes are eternal.
 Understanding God’s time reshapes how we live today.
❓ Three Follow-Up Questions
- What does it mean that God exists outside of time?
- How would your life change if you truly believed God sees the beginning and end at once?
- How are you using your limited time for things that matter in eternity?
Theme: “God Time vs. Universe Time: Where It All Began”
Hook: “Before galaxies spun or clocks ticked… God created time.”
✅ Three Powerful Takeaways
- 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.”
- God operates in “God Time” — eternal, limitless, outside our clocks.
 From eternity past to eternity future, God simply IS.
- 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
- What’s the difference between “God time” and “universe time”?
- How does knowing God existed before time reshape how you view the universe?
- If creation glorifies God, how should we respond to the beauty of what He’s made?
Theme: “Earth Time: When God Hit the Clock”
Hook: “The 24-hour day started with God’s voice… and one day, He’ll shut it down.”
✅ Three Powerful Takeaways
- 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.”
- 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.
- 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
- Why is it significant that God defined a “day” at creation?
- How should we live differently knowing time has a divinely-set beginning and end?
- 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
- Mankind Time began with Adam.
 Genesis 1:26–27 shows humanity was created in God’s image — and time for human life began.
- 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.
- 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
- Do I understand that I live inside God’s “Grace Time”?
- Have I responded to God’s rescue through Jesus Christ while I still have time?
- What would I do differently if I believed that this window of grace is temporary?
