John Mulligan’s sermon this week, “5 Times to Turn to God,” encouraged us to live deliberately and spiritually aware in every season of life. Drawing from Ephesians 5:15–20, he reminded us that life can shift in an instant—often without warning—so we must make the most of our moments, not just our years. Whether in joy, pain, or routine, every moment carries spiritual weight and invites us to turn to God. With recent tragedies in mind, the message emphasized that our time is fragile and fleeting, which makes our response to each moment all the more significant. There are five types of moments that call us to turn to God. In happy moments, we’re called to praise—expressing joy not just as a feeling, but as an act of worship. When life is difficult, we seek God first in prayer, remembering that He not only knows our struggles but cares deeply about us and has the power to help. In quiet moments, when life slows down, we are invited to worship through stillness, reflection, and connection with God—modeling the example of Jesus, who carved out early-morning solitude to commune with the Father. In painful moments, we are reminded to trust. Even when God doesn’t immediately remove the hardship, He is near to the brokenhearted and will see us through. And in every moment, we are urged to give thanks—shifting our perspective to what God has already provided, which often calms our anxieties and deepens our peace. These five invitations—praise, seek, worship, trust, and thank—aren’t mere spiritual checklists, but habits of the heart that help us walk with God in every circumstance. They orient us to His presence and power, whether we’re soaring or struggling. Each moment is a gift to be stewarded—not stolen by fear, distraction, or Satan’s lies. The question we’re left with is this: How will we respond to the moments we’ve been given?
