Tomoka Christian Church Wednesday – Ormond Beach, Florida, USA
Pastor Thomas emphasizes the importance of pursuing maturity in Christ, urging believers to embrace their calling for spiritual growth. He outlines three stages of perfection: positional, relative, and ultimate, encouraging believers to progress toward experiential knowledge and holiness. The pastor reminds the congregation to forget past achievements and failures, focusing instead on their journey of faith and deepening intimacy with Christ. Additionally, he highlights the church's Grow classes as a practical means for congregants to engage in their race toward spiritual growth, ultimately aiming for the prize of knowing Christ fully.

The themes of Temple and Holy City converge on "the Branch" to provide the framework for the people of God to thrive in their own era of redemptive history!
In our study of Isaiah 9:1-7, we see how Jesus's fulfilled promises give us confidence, and his promises give us hope!

Revelation 12 details the vision of John on the Lords day in worship. He sees a cosmic battle between God and Satan. Satan is defeated and thrown down from heaven to the earth where, in his death throes, he still tries to attack Christians by taking them away from their faith and trust in the Triune God. We can face spiritual attack, but God assures us and defends us by the means of grace in our worship, and in worship equips us to witness to the victory of Christ over sin, death, and the devil.

Today is the 4th Sunday of Advent. It is also Christmas Eve. Because this year Advent is as short as it can be, with Christmas falling on a Monday, we don't really get a “fourth week of Advent.” We only get a 4th Sunday, and even then not the whole Sunday, with our Christmas celebrations beginning with the 4:30 Vigil Mass. Once every seven years we get Christmas and Advent in one Sunday like this. The altar is decorated with poinsettias, in anticipation of that celebration. The crib has been laid out, in anticipation of the Christ-child. This can all make it feel like Christmas is already here, but it isn't. We are still in purple. The crib is empty. It is still Advent for a few hours more.
During the Christmas season, some of us observe Advent as a time to reflect on the birth of Christ and the long ages of waiting for His arrival. I'm so thankful that Emmanuel—which means “God with us”—came to the earth and sacrificed His holy life on our behalf. But it's also true that we are still waiting for something. Hebrews 2 describes how Jesus gained the victory over death and hell. This sealed His rightful authority over all things on the earth. It says that… …At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see him… namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor… This Advent, I invite you to remember the many blessings of knowing Jesus personally and look forward, with great joy, to the age that is to come—when He will return and make all wrong things right. radio.hopewithgod.com
God is in the in-between times - the times of already, but not yet. We spend a lot of our life in those times. Our sermon from Sunday was based on Ezra 1:1-4; 3:1-4, 10-13, which is about Israel's in-between time: in-between empires, in-between the destruction of the first temple and the building of the second temple, in-between joy and weeping.
Dr. Jason Dykehouse, an Old Testament Scholar and Author, preached our sermon gif Gaudete Sunday.

What's the difference between resuscitation and resurrection? These questions and more on this episode of Strangely Warmed with guests Jason Micheli and Scot Jones.Hosted by Taylor Mertins
5 Repetitions of the Already, But Not Yet Pattern 3 Applications of the Already, But Not Yet Pattern
Pastor Ants shares about the key to living a successful life and experience what Biblical scholars call the "Already But Not Yet".
Homily from Ascension Sunday, A.D. MMXXIII.
When you received Jesus, you received a new identity. The old is gone, yet you are still becoming who you already are, awaiting this transformation's fullness. This is a paradox that we can't fully understand. When we think things should be different than they are, we become discouraged. In this episode, I give you six tips for living in the tension of the already but not yet. If you are ready to become the woman God says you already are, you have to join me in Clarity+Courage, my cost-effective coaching group for Christian women.

Pastor Justin returns from vacation with a timely reminder of a familiar story from the life of Jesus. Immediately after Jesus fed over 5,000 people with the miracle loaves and fishes, the disciples were headed to Bethsaida (or so they thought) by boat, when a massive storm arrived - along with a ghostly figure walking on the water. Jesus used the very thing that was overwhelming the disciples to make a pathway to them. There's a lot more to unpack from this story.

What is it and does it mean to me?Sometimes we encounter terms or phrases within Christianity that aren't always explained. Already but not yet is a phrase that has practical application in our lives. Sean helps us understand this turn of phrase and tease out some implications for the individual.

As we continue or study of Romans, today Pastor Mark leads us through the closing verses of chapter 3. Consider with us three implications of justification by faith in Christ: it excludes boasting; it unifies believers; and it upholds the Law.
In Jesus' mission statement is a reference to Jubilee. What does that have to do with his mission? What else might we see in this reference?
The Already But Not Yet Kingdom by Kearney eFree Church
Jin Eun Jung Colossians 3:5-17
In the "already but not yet" kingdom, God continuously makes his presence known, often by calling us into action. However, due to the brokenness of the world, we may face well-justified fears in heeding that call. After all, the Christian disciple Ananias had to quell any fears of arrest or even death in obeying God's call to visit Saul, who was infamous at the time for persecuting Christians. However, after Ananias's visit, in an astonishing and miraculous turnaround, Saul immediately began to preach the good news of the Gospel. If we trust God with our fears and nevertheless obey his call, then God can use us to make amazing things happen.
Calvary the Hill Podcast
The paradox of the "already but not yet" kingdom of God is that through Jesus the Father has already redeemed the world, and yet we live with daily reminders that our world is still broken. Amidst continual pain and suffering, we question whether God really is present and moving in our lives. More so than simply conceptualizing the gospel, we yearn for tangible experiences of God's grace and mercy. But even when we don't see it, tangible experiences of God's power exist all around us. We can choose to believe in His power and the work He is doing, and in doing so we cultivate a mustard seed of faith that can grow and blossom and overflow beyond our imagination.
Life is often complex and full of unexpected outcomes which causes us to anticipate the future with dread and anxiety. When we feel helpless to the disappointments of life, we often forget how to be hopeful in something good. But in an uncertain future, we can remember that God is faithful to us and has wrote our story from beginning to end. Though we may not understand God's story and our place in it, we can have hope in His will because through Jesus and His arrival and resurrection, God has brought His kingdom to us.
