Believe: Faith & Hope Series
INFORMATION: Hope In God’s Timing
What is Kairos Time?
Chronos – that’s time on a clock, measurable minutes and hours.
Kairos – God’s appointed timing, God’s opportune timing, it’s when heaven breaks into your everyday life and everything changes.
Galatians 6:9 (NLT) – “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”
INSPIRATION: Your Strategic Positioning
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Our Mission
To reach our communities locally and globally with the message of freedom and fullness found in Christ.
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…” — Matthew 28:19-20
Our Vision
As the Community of Believers, we are committed to gathering, growing, and going while being built up in love, as each person does their part.
- GATHER — as the Community of Believers to encourage each other in love and action
- GROW — in relationship with God and others through discipleship and teaching
- GO — out with the Gospel of Jesus, through the church, to the nations, for the Kingdom
“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.” — Colossians 1:28-29
Our Values
- We value learning God’s Word by spending regular time with Him
- We value loving God’s Word by fulfilling the Great Commandment
- We value living God’s Word by fulfilling the Great Commission
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” — 2 Timothy 3:16-17
MOTIVATION: Your Kingdom Investment
The T4 Principle: Positioning for Acceleration
TIME — Strategic Positioning of Your Presence
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.” — Ephesians 5:15-16
Where can your presence create the most Kingdom transformation?
- Connect in a small group for authentic relationships
- Serve on a team where your presence makes a difference
- Be present where God has already positioned you for influence
TALENT — Operating in Your Spiritual Gifts
“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.” — Romans 12:6
Your gifts aren’t for you — they’re for Kingdom advancement
- Teaching, administration, hospitality, mercy, leadership, prophetic insight
- Many believers get stuck trying to grow through someone else’s gifting
- When you discover your gifts and align them with Kingdom purpose = supernatural acceleration
- Take the spiritual gifts assessment
- Begin serving in areas that match your gifting
TREASURE — Kingdom Economics and Generous Living
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” — Malachi 3:10
2 Corinthians 9:6-11 NLT Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.”
Generosity positions you for supernatural increase
- This is Kingdom strategy, not just a nice principle
- Operate from generosity rather than scarcity
- Practice tithing — giving the first 10% honors God and positions you under His blessing
TESTIMONY — Your Story of Transformation
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” — 1 Peter 3:15
Your story becomes someone else’s breakthrough
- You don’t need a polished, amazing testimony
- Share what God is doing right now
- Your simple story is the perfect story to share
- Authenticity creates connection; performance creates distance

Moving Forward
Don’t wait until you’re “mature enough” to discover your gifts and step into your calling.
Start now from your starting point. Ask God to reveal how He’s wired you, get around spiritual shepherds who can help identify your strengths, and begin positioning yourself where those gifts can flourish.
Remember: This isn’t about perfection — it’s about forward movement. God meets you where you are, but He’s too good to leave you there.
