This Christmas season I am going to be doing a sermon series on the greatest gifts that we could give. Today we begin with one that I believe many people struggle with today and maybe today we can learn a little better on how to manage our time.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Psalms 46:10 – Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Matthew 11:28 – Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
- Reason
- Ephesians 2:10 – For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
- Romans 8:29 – For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
- Be Like Christ
- Important
- Matthew 6:33 – But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
- Luke 6:12 – One day soon afterward Jesus went up on a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night.
- Plan
- Ephesians 5:15-16 Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
