Times Square Church - Sermons

What if the life God has for you is bigger than what you believe you are capable of living?In The Ferocity of Faith, Carter Conlon challenges us to see faith as more than believing the right things. Real faith moves forward when you cannot see the outcome, refuses to let your past define your future, and trusts God to do what you could never accomplish in your own strength.Drawing from Psalm 18, Hebrews 11, and his own story of being set free after years of panic attacks and fear, Carter shows what can happen when we stop defining ourselves by our limitations and begin believing what God has spoken. Your struggle does not have to write the rest of your story. Jesus can give you a new heart, new courage, and a new purpose.KEY TAKEAWAYS Faith takes you beyond what you can accomplish through your own strength and ability. Your past, fear, wounds, and limitations do not have to define your future. True faith has forward motion. It trusts God enough to move even when the outcome is not visible. God can transform areas of your life that you have assumed could never change. Your testimony can speak more powerfully to others than an argument ever could. The Holy Spirit gives ordinary people courage, strength, and ability beyond their own resources.

Storms are inevitable. But what if the most important question is not how to escape the storm, but whether you're heading in the right direction? In this Sunday message, Pastor Tim Dilena explores two powerful stories from Scripture: Jonah running away from God and the disciples following Jesus into a storm. Both faced overwhelming circumstances, but their storms had different purposes. One needed to change direction. The others needed to discover more of who Jesus really is. Through biblical teaching, personal experiences, and an honest invitation to examine our lives, Pastor Tim challenges us to stop asking God simply to stabilize what is broken and allow Him to transform us from within. Whether you're struggling with fear, uncertainty, unhealthy patterns, or decisions that have taken you off course, there is hope. The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead can give you the strength to change, the courage to trust, and the faith to move forward. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why storms are inevitable, but the direction of your life matters. The difference between Jonah's storm of disobedience and the disciples' storm of faith. How difficult seasons can reveal who Jesus is and deepen your trust in Him. Why remembering what God has already done can strengthen your faith for what comes next. The danger of asking God for stability while resisting personal transformation. How the Holy Spirit helps us overcome fear, bitterness, pride, and destructive patterns. Why it's never too late to turn around, surrender your life, and begin walking with Jesus.

How do you worship when your world is falling apart? When loss leaves you wondering where God is, you can bring Him your pain before you have answers. In this Sunday sermon, Pastor Tim Dilena explores Job's response to devastating loss and what it means to trust God while you are still grieving. Through Job, Psalm 22, and Romans 8, he reminds you that tears and worship can exist together. If disappointment has worn down your hope, this message invites you to take one brave step toward Jesus. You can pray honestly, ask Him to help you worship again, and remember that suffering cannot separate you from His love. KEY TAKEAWAYS Job worshiped in the middle of his loss, before his circumstances changed. Trusting God leaves room for grief, tears, and honest questions. God's character remains steady through both blessing and loss. Psalm 22 shows how an unanswered cry can become an expression of faith. Romans 8 reminds you that nothing can separate you from God's love in Jesus. Taking a small step to worship again can begin with an honest prayer.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't what you're facing, but what you're hiding? In a world filled with noise, pressure, and expectations, it's easy to pretend everything is fine while struggling beneath the surface. In this powerful message, "Exposing Disguises: A Call for Discernment in These Last Days," Pastor Tim Dilena challenges us to look beyond appearances and learn to recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit. Through 1 Kings 14, the story of Stephen and Saul, and powerful moments from the life of David Wilkerson, we discover why prayer, spiritual discernment, and authentic faith matter more than ever. Jesus already knows your fears, your struggles, and the things you've been trying to hide. You don't have to pretend with Him. This message is an invitation to stop hiding, listen to God's voice, and allow Him to transform your life from the inside out. KEY TAKEAWAYS Spiritual discernment helps us see beyond appearances and recognize what God is revealing. Prayer creates space to hear the Holy Spirit in a world filled with competing voices. Ignoring God's voice can slowly distance us from the faith and love we once experienced. Authentic faith, forgiveness, and courage can reach hearts that seem closed to God. Jesus knows what's behind every disguise and invites us to experience real freedom and transformation.

You can be building the right thing and still lose sight of why you started. In this message from 1 Kings 6, Pastor Tim Dilena looks at the moment God interrupts Solomon in the middle of building the temple. The project was good. The calling was real. But God wanted Solomon to remember something more important than the building itself: His will, His voice, and His presence. This message is an invitation to examine what you are building in your own life. Your career, relationships, ministry, plans, and opportunities can become so consuming that you stop hearing God. Sometimes an interruption is not a setback. It is protection. God may be stopping you because He loves you enough to keep you from moving forward without Him. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can be doing what God called you to do and still lose sight of why He called you to do it. God's interruptions can protect you from moving in the wrong direction. Activity is not the same as intimacy with God. Success, influence, and achievement can never replace the presence of God. Obedience begins when you take God's voice seriously, even when it disrupts your plans. Jesus does not want only part of your week. He wants to be present in your everyday life, your work, your home, your decisions, and your future.
