MESSAGE OVERVIEW
What does it mean to be a true friend when someone else is hurting? In this message, Pastor Tim Dilena calls us beyond comfort, distraction, and a life centered only on our own needs. Looking at Paul in Acts 28, we see how the people who walked 43 miles to encourage him became a picture of real faith in action. This is a message about prayer, compassion, calling, and the courage to stand with people who feel far away but matter deeply to God. Jesus invites us to see beyond our own world, to be moved by the Holy Spirit, and to become people who carry hope, strength, and transformation to others when they need it most.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Prayer & Fasting is a time for Times Square Church to seek God together through worship, Scripture, prayer, and intercession. This gathering is centered on the theme “He Makes All Wars Cease,” reminding us that in a world marked by conflict, fear, and division, the church is called to pray with faith, compassion, and humility. This is not a moment for political commentary. It is a call to bring the nations before Jesus and ask Him for peace, mercy, protection, healing, salvation, and hope.
