The second message in our Dynamic of Now series centers on the power of 'now' in our faith journey, drawing from Hebrews 11:1 and 11:6. We're reminded that faith isn't about waiting passively, but actively engaging with God in the present moment. The speaker challenges us to stop waiting for perfect circumstances and instead initiate action in our 'now.' We're encouraged to understand that God's plan for our lives is coupled with our decision to act. The story of Noah Lyles, an Olympic athlete who overcame numerous challenges, illustrates that our current circumstances don't define our potential. This message urges us to step into God's plan, make the most of every opportunity, and allow the Holy Spirit to work in our 'now' moments. Chapters Chapter 1: The Dynamic of Now 0:00 - 5:54 Introduction to the concept of 'now' and its importance in faith and action. Chapter 2: Faith in Action 5:54 - 14:01 Exploring how faith manifests in our actions and decisions. Chapter 3: Seizing the Moment 14:01 - 20:37 The importance of recognizing and acting on opportunities in our lives. Chapter 4: Overcoming Obstacles 20:37 - 32:51 Addressing the challenges we face when trying to step into our 'now' moments. Chapter 5: Embracing God's Plan 32:51 - 37:32 The call to be ready for God's opportunities and to step into His plan.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgency of 'now' in our spiritual lives. The key scripture, Hebrews 11:1, emphasizes that 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' We're challenged to understand that faith operates in the present, not the past or future. God is actively searching for individuals willing to step out in faith and make a difference. The story of Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6 beautifully illustrates how God can use anyone who's willing, regardless of their perceived inadequacies. This message encourages us to seize our 'now' moment, understanding that our obedience today can unlock God's blessings and purpose for our lives. Chapters Chapter 1: The Power of Now in Faith 0:00 - 23:50 We explore the concept of 'now' in faith and how it impacts our relationship with God. Chapter 2: God's Perspective on Our Actions 23:50 - 43:07 We explore how God views our actions and His eagerness to partner with us. Chapter 3: The Urgency of Salvation 43:07 - 55:26 We discuss the critical need for salvation and the importance of acting now.
