“The Dispensations of the Fullness of Times” Ephesians 3:1-12

TRANSCRIPT

Date: May 24, 2026 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

One of my favorite classes at Columbia Bible College (now CIU) was The Progress of Redemption: God’s Plan from Creation to the New Jerusalem, exploring how God revealed Himself over time and fulfilled His redemptive plan. There are seven dispensations (periods of time) from Genesis to Revelation, i.e., from Creation to Re-creation. The Age of Innocence, the Age of Conscience, the Age of Human Government, the Age of Promise, the Age of the Law, the Age of Grace, and the Age of the Kingdom, which is soon to come. Please join us for our sermon on the seven dispensations of time on Sunday evening, May 24, at 5:00 PM. Review the attached study guide beforehand and consider inviting others who may benefit from it to attend or read it. Thank you for your continued support. Please share these guides with anyone who may find them helpful.

Of the six essential evidences of genuine salvation, recognizing our sin nature, desire for a changed life, increase in testing, love for other Christians, and a desire to tell others about Jesus, perhaps the most important one is that insatiable hunger for God’s Word

Once the “born-again” believer is able to “rightly divide” the Word of Truth, he will be able to place the events of biblical history in the timeline of human history, and he can see the “big picture” of what God has done, is doing, and is going to do to bring His plan of redemption into reality.

Background from the two previous sermons:

In Ephesians 1:10, Paul used the term “dispensation” to define specific periods of time in which God worked in specific ways, to a specific people and for a specific purpose.
