Times Up

On Sunday, May 10, 2026 (Mother’s Day), Cole Tuck delivered a powerful and convicting message titled “Time’s Up.”  Starting with heartfelt appreciation for biological and spiritual mothers, the sermon quickly moved into 1 Peter 4, challenging believers to examine their core purpose in life. Rather than chasing happiness and fleeting pleasures as the world does, Christians are called to “arm themselves” with the same purpose Christ had, to suffer in the flesh, cease from sin, and live for the will of God.

Cole emphasized that enough time has already been wasted on sensuality, lust, drunkenness, and worldly excesses. The world will be surprised by our different lifestyle and will often malign us for it, but we must remember that God, not the world, is the final Judge of the living and the dead. The message is a strong call to leave the “pig pen,” stop returning to empty sin, and use the remaining time for eternal things.

Core takeaway: The time spent chasing sin is sufficient. It’s time to move forward in righteousness, even when it costs us comfort and popularity.
