A Cross-Shaped Life: 2nd Corinthians 6:1-13

Rev. James Harper preaches on 2 Corinthians 6:1-13 as part of our sermon series, "A Cross-Shaped Life."

Life often presents unexpected moments when God's timing intersects with our human plans. These divine interruptions, called kairos moments, occur when God intervenes in our chronos time to accomplish His purposes. Recognizing these moments requires staying alert to unexpected events and maintaining a posture of availability rather than retreating to comfort zones. While God's timing doesn't always align with our preferences and may involve challenges, His interventions are always for our good. Character development often accompanies these divine moments, requiring us to develop virtues like patience and genuine love. Living with awareness of kairos moments means being willing to ask whether God might be working through unexpected circumstances and remaining open to possibilities that stretch us beyond our normal plans.
