Times Square Church - Sermons

Your pain does not have to become the story you repeat forever. God can bring life from the season that tried to break you.

In this message, Pastor Tim Dilena explores the difference between pain that leaves only a scar and labor pain that produces something new. Through the words of Jesus in John 16 and the story of Joseph, we see how God can bring fruitfulness from affliction and help us move beyond painful memories.

You may not be able to change what happened, but your story can become more than a record of what was done to you. God can transform pain into prayer, forgiveness, deeper trust, meaningful relationships, and a testimony that brings hope to others.


Pain does not have to be wasted. God can bring new life from the hardest seasons of your story.

There is a difference between carrying a scar and allowing your pain to produce healing, purpose, and hope.

Like Joseph, you can experience forgetfulness of the pain and fruitfulness in the place of affliction.

Prayer, forgiveness, dependence on God, and healthy relationships can be born from seasons you never would have chosen.

Your story is not over. What feels like an ending may become the beginning of something that blesses others.

In this message, Pastor Tim Dilena challenges us to consider how we are using the time God has given us. Through the final words of the Apostle Paul, the prayer of Psalm 90, and the moving story of a pastor facing ALS, we are reminded that finishing well begins with the choices we make today.

Why every day should be received as a gift from God.

What it means to follow God even when the path feels risky.

How prayer helps us live wisely and finish faithfully.

Why opposition often appears when God opens a meaningful door.

How Jesus can change the direction of your life and give you a new beginning.
