What does cultural convergence have to do with the gospel and with your calling as a Kingdom professional? In this powerful episode of The Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Bishop Michael Blue explores how God sovereignly used history, culture, language, and infrastructure to prepare the world for the arrival and spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Drawing from the Gospel of Luke, Bishop Blue unpacks how figures like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar unknowingly laid the groundwork for the New Testament era through the spread of a universal language (Greek) and the construction of Roman roads that enabled global communication and travel. This cultural convergence created what Scripture calls "the fullness of time." But this conversation doesn't stop in history. Bishop Blue challenges today's Kingdom professionals to recognize that we are living in another moment of convergence, where digital media, artificial intelligence, global communication, and cultural systems are colliding at unprecedented speed. The question is not whether believers should engage culture, but how. If you are a leader, professional, entrepreneur, creative, or influencer seeking to remain spiritually grounded while culturally effective, this episode will equip, challenge, and realign you with God's eternal purpose. New podcast episodes are available every Monday wherever you listen to podcasts.

Chances are you've felt interrupted a time or two this Christmas season; you had a plan and then you watched it fall apart. And chances are your life is not what you thought it would be. Various interruptions interrupted the path you prepared. And yet, God works through interruption. God shows up, usually when we least expect it, like a knock at the door, like the crying out of a little baby, like receiving good news when we've heard nothing but bad news. And tonight God interrupts your life and my life once again with the promise of the Gospel: A new day is breaking. Light shines in the darkness. Death is defeated. No matter what you do or leave undone, no matter how many plans come to fruition or fall apart, God refuses to being anything other than God with you.

A sermon on Galatians 4:1-7. Speaker: Mike McKinley
Dr. Darrin Wright,FBCW,FBC Wheeling,Galatians Sermon, Galatians, In The Fullness of Time, Galatians 4,
God is always at work! Even when we don't see it or know about it. There is so much more to the Christmas story than just the little manger scene we imagine in our minds. Join Pastor Mike and Tyler as they dive into some passages from Isaiah, Luke, and Galatians to try and get a better idea of how big the birth of Jesus was. Support the show
The Anticipation of Christ’s Birth Angels anticipated the day of Jesus’s birth. They had seen Him at the right hand of the Father. They had worshipped Him. Now He had left heaven’s throne and become something they didn’t understand yet. For nine months, the angels waited while Jesus was 100% man from the embryonic stage until Mary birthed him. The angels knew when Joseph led Mary to Bethlehem, the home of his lineage, that it was close to the time of Jesus’s birth. The angels waited on the rims of glory as the Lamb of God was to be born. Gabriel announced to the shepherds, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” The angels flooded the heavenly poison, shouting, “He’s not in that womb no more. He’s not awaiting anymore. He’s here. He’s here. Our Lord is once more here.” The Fullness of Time Galatians 4:4-5 explains what Christmas is all about. God had a time in His calendar for His Son to be born of a virgin and come as a savior to the world. Many people before that time knew He was coming. Adam and Eve were told that by his heel he would bruise Satan’s head. Abraham was told that of his seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed. Isaac and Jacob received that covenant promise. The time had not occurred when Jacob would birth 12 children and from him would become the nation of Israel. The book of Hebrews says that they died in faith, believing that it would come. Moses understood about a coming Christ, but Jesus didn’t come during his time. From the foundation of the world, God had ordained a time that His Son would come and take care of the sin of this world. David knew and sung about the cross that would come. Isaiah spoke of Emmanuel coming, God with us, born of a virgin. Isaiah 53 wrote about the Savior who would suffer greatly and bear the sins of mankind. After 400 years of God’s silence, an angel came to Mary in Nazareth. She was chosen to conceive of the Holy Ghost. Mary and Joseph’s Roles Mary was perplexed about the angel’s words, asking how she could conceive without knowing a man. In a dream, the angel Gabriel spoke to Joseph, telling him not to fear taking Mary as his wife because the child conceived in her was of the Holy Ghost. Joseph took Mary as his betrothed wife and kept her until the child was born. Simeon’s Revelation Simeon, a devout priest, was revealed by the Holy Ghost that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ. On the eighth day after Jesus’s birth, Simeon saw Jesus and knew that the fullness of time had come. Simeon snatched the baby from Mary and said, “Now let me depart in peace for mine eyes have seen the salvation of Israel.” Personal Salvation The reason Jesus came was so that there would be a time for each individual. Before the foundation of the world, God knew who would believe. There was a day in 1976 when God declared it would be a personal time of salvation. There wasn’t any way to pay the penalty except some flesh stand in your half, in your behalf. Jesus is the fullness of God in the flesh and the only savior of the world. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. Jesus Christ was the one answer for the sin that mankind owned. Jesus had to become flesh and be made under the law, keeping every part of God’s holy law in the flesh. The imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ was given while he took on all sinful flesh. As a nine-year-old boy, Pastor Tommy found out that there was a Savior that died for his sin. When Pastor Tommy called upon Jesus to save him, He redeemed him. All heaven’s angels rejoice over one sinner that repents. When someone receives Christ, the angels remember Bethlehem and shout again. Pastor Tommy remembers the day he got saved and felt like all of heaven had filled his soul. Paul never had to get saved again. The angels are still rejoicing over sinners who repent unto God. Jesus was made under the law to redeem those who were under the law. Through Jesus, people receive the adoption of sons. Because the Holy Spirit has been imparted into hearts, people can cry, “Father.” The Significance of Jesus’s Birth Life begins at conception. Jesus was alive from the very instant he was conceived in Mary’s womb. John’s Gospel didn’t record Jesus’s birth but said He was in the beginning. The Word was made flesh when Gabriel spoke to Mary and the Holy Ghost came upon her. Thousands of years since Adam had gone by. There was a day that God looked over at Jesus and said, “It’s time.” Nine months later, Joseph held that holy child. The Second Coming There is another time coming when Jesus will return. No man knows the time, not even Jesus, only the Father. At any minute, He could look at the Son again and say, “It’s time.” Those trusting in Christ who are asleep in the grave will resurrect. Those who are alive and remain shall be changed in the moment in the twinkling of an eye. All will be called up. Pastor Tommy is anticipating the time when He’s going to gather us home. It’s important to have a time when your name got wrote in the Lamb’s Book of Life. If you don’t have that time, you need to prepare because another time is coming. You can get prepared to know Him today. If you don’t have a time, call on Him today. If He’s calling you, today’s the day. This is the day He must write your name down. This is the day the angels want to shout throughout heaven, “One more is come.”
Listen in as Pastor Kirk Shelton shares an Advent message from Galatians 4:4-7 entitled "The Fullness of Time." www.CalvaryFayetteville.com info@CalvaryFayetteville.com 479-442-4634
In this sermon, Pastor Jeff shared how Jesus came at just the right time to redeem us and how we share in His inheritance.
The Apostle Paul in Galatians 4:4-7, shows how God's perfect timing brought the incarnation: the Son born of a woman, made under the law to redeem those under it so we might be adopted as God's children. The episode explains Christ's deity and humanity, redemption from the law, the gift of God enabling us to cry out, "Abba, Father," and the believer's new status as heirs—encouraging trust in God's timing and freedom in Christ.
Dr. Timothy O'Donnell reflects on the significance of the Incarnation, exploring the world's longing for a Messiah, the fulfillment of prophecy, and Mary's unique role as the Mother of God. He discusses the expectations of the Messiah, the fulfillment of prophecies, and the cultural readiness for Christ's arrival. He also highlights Our Lady of Guadalupe, explaining how her appearance brought Christ to the Mexican people during a time of darkness. Dr. O'Donnell concludes by inviting believers to rediscover the Incarnation's meaning in their own lives, especially during Advent.
Join us for Day1 Episode 4211 as acclaimed author and scholar Dr. Diana Butler Bass offers a deeply moving Advent message, “The Fullness of Time,” rooted in Isaiah 11:1-10 and Matthew 3:1-4. With the story of the final moments with her beloved dog Rowan, Dr. Bass reflects on how endings and beginnings mingle in sacred time. She explores linear and cyclical time, and invites listeners to see time through the lens of hope, peace, and new creation. Tune in for a powerful word for Advent.
