Redeem the Time

Pastor Joel emphasizes the urgency and importance of sharing the gospel in the present age. Drawing from Paul's exhortation in Colossians 4, Pastor Joel challenges believers to move beyond their comfort zones and recognize that evangelism is not limited to international missions but extends to our neighborhoods and daily interactions. He stresses that we live in increasingly evil days where time is short before Christ's return in judgment. The concept of "redeeming the time" carries a dual meaning: making good use of our present opportunities and making up for the years we lived for ourselves before salvation. Pastor Joel calls believers to depend on the Holy Spirit and step out in faith, recognizing that we don't need to be scholars or apologists—we simply need sensitivity to the Spirit and the courage to act when prompted.
