C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the individuality of the prophets, particularly Amos, who speaks from his own experiences as a herdsman. He illustrates how God's purposes are always timely, using the metaphor of ripe summer fruit to signify the readiness of nations and individuals for judgment or grace. Spurgeon warns that just as nations can become ripe in sin and face destruction, individuals also ripen in their spiritual state, either towards holiness or towards condemnation. He encourages believers to embrace their unique gifts and experiences in serving God, while urging the unconverted to recognize their own ripening in sin and the urgency of repentance. The sermon serves as a call to be aware of one's spiritual condition and the importance of being prepared for God's timing.

Chuck Smith emphasizes that God has set specific times for the restoration of Israel, the return of Jesus Christ, personal salvation, and even death. He highlights the prophetic significance of Israel's rebirth in 1948 and the current tensions in the Middle East as signs of God's appointed times. Smith encourages believers to recognize that the time for salvation is now and stresses the importance of preparing for the day of death, as it is appointed for every man. He reassures that God's appointed times will indeed come to pass.

John Gill emphasizes the importance of understanding God's perspective on time in his sermon on 2 Peter 3:8. He reassures believers that the delay in Christ's return should not cause doubt, as God's timing is vastly different from human understanding; a day for the Lord is like a thousand years and vice versa. This perspective encourages the faithful to maintain their hope and expectation for Christ's second coming, regardless of how much time passes. Gill draws on Jewish traditions and interpretations to illustrate that God's promises are not bound by human timelines. Ultimately, he calls the congregation to trust in God's faithfulness and timing.

David Daniel emphasizes the concept of 'An Appointed Time' based on Ecclesiastes 3, illustrating that every aspect of life has its designated season, from birth to death, planting to harvesting, and joy to sorrow. He challenges the congregation to recognize the inevitability of their appointments, particularly the ultimate appointment with God, and to live purposefully within the seasons God has established. Daniel encourages believers to embrace the beauty of God's timing and to find joy in their labor as a gift from Him, while also acknowledging the reality of life's cycles and the importance of being prepared for the end. He concludes by reminding the audience that their actions during their lifetime will be accounted for, urging them to live for God's glory.

Erlo Stegen emphasizes the importance of God's perfect timing in our lives, as demonstrated during Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out. He encourages believers to seek God's will rather than pursuing personal desires, highlighting that true relationship with God leads to spiritual fruitfulness.

He warns against the dangers of division and mockery, urging a sincere response to the Gospel. Ultimately, he calls for a genuine harvest of souls as a result of being filled with the Spirit.

In this sermon, the speaker addresses the issue of hypocrisy in religious leaders. He emphasizes that while there are strict laws for others, these leaders often have a double standard when it comes to their own actions. The speaker gives an example of a leader who was against abortion but allowed his own daughter to have one. The speaker also mentions the story of Joseph and Mary's journey to Bethlehem, highlighting the importance of surrendering to God's control and trusting in His sovereignty. The sermon concludes with the reminder that when we are committed to God, things may not always go as we expect, but God is in control and will work things out according to His plan.

Watchman Nee emphasizes the significance of God's timing and the source of our actions in his sermon 'The Heir and the Proof of Time.' He illustrates Abraham's struggle with faith and impatience as he sought to fulfill God's promise of an heir, leading to the birth of Ishmael instead of Isaac, the child of promise. Nee highlights that true faith requires waiting for God's timing and recognizing that all good works must originate from God, not from our own efforts. The sermon draws parallels between Abraham's journey and the Church's role in bringing Christ into His inheritance, stressing that only what God does through us can truly satisfy Him. Ultimately, the message is about surrendering our striving and allowing God to work through us, as exemplified in the birth of Isaac at the appointed time.

He stresses the significance of being in tune with God's leading rather than relying solely on human reasoning or urgency. Ultimately, he invites the listeners to desire a deeper relationship with God, where they can learn His ways.
