Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Ephesians 5:14 If we’re not careful, we may spend the prime time of our lives chasing the wrong goals. This is why we have to learn how to use and maximize our time for God’s glory. Ephesians 5:14-16 says, “Therefore He says: 'Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.' See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” We must begin to see time as an incredible opportunity, so we may know how to live wisely in evil days. Time is a provided and present opportunity; it is a gift from God that we dare not let pass by. Adrian Rogers says, “There are two days that can steal the joy from today: one is yesterday and the other is tomorrow.” In Philippians 3:13-14, the Apostle Paul said, "...but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” We must forget the guilt, glory, grief, and grudges of the past. Time is a precious opportunity; the art of living is spending time wisely. Psalm 90:12 says, “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” We can organize our days according to four principles: Prayer: it is the key that unlocks the door of the morning. Begin every day with prayer. Priority: understanding the difference between urgent and important, we must prioritize accordingly. Promptness: procrastination is a sin. We must cultivate the habit of instant obedience. Power: this means we do God’s will in the power of the Holy Spirit. Finally, time is a passing opportunity. Adrian Rogers says, “Time is such a strange commodity; all you can do is use it or lose it.” We will give an account for every passing day. Knowing this, we must cut ourselves loose from yesterday’s heartaches and failures and strain toward what’s ahead. Apply it to your life What do you intend to do with your day? Will you be a good steward of the time God has given you? Episode link: https://play.headliner.app/episode/34... (video made with https://www.headliner.app)
