Ordinary Season

The term "Ordinary Season" is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible but is commonly used in the liturgical calendar of many Christian denominations to refer to the period of the church year that falls outside of the major seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. This season is characterized by a focus on the teachings of Jesus and the growth of the Christian life. In many traditions, Ordinary Time is divided into two parts: the period following Epiphany until Lent, and the period after Pentecost until Advent.In the context of the Bible, Ordinary Time can be seen as a time to reflect on the everyday aspects of faith and discipleship. It emphasizes the call to live out the teachings of Jesus in daily life, as seen in the Gospels where Jesus often teaches in parables and performs miracles in ordinary settings (e.g., Matthew 5-7, the Sermon on the Mount). The scriptures during this season often focus on Christ’s ministry and the implications for believers, encouraging them to embody faith in their daily lives (1 Peter 2:9). Thus, while "Ordinary Season" may suggest a lack of significance, it is a vital time for spiritual growth and understanding of how to apply biblical principles in everyday situations.
