It's About Time (2 of 3)
Series: Simple
Ross Lester
Palms 39:4–6
Proposition:
As Christians living for an eternal purpose, we should prioritize our limited time differently from others, living for eternity and making the most out of the time we have.
Intro:
- Howdie. Good to see you all out here.
- SGM announcement.
- Week 2 of our series ''Simple''. Here is what we said last week:
- It is possible to miss out on the significant and sacred things in life, when we are continually distracted, anxious and troubled about many things. We looked at the biblical character of Martha and there was plenty resonance in the room with her and her struggles.

- We looked to Scripture for reminders of that purpose for us and we encouraged you to pick a verse that you commit to memory that will keep you focused in the year ahead (see link and send us your verses via social media).
- This week we want to look at how we take that focus and clarity of purpose and apply it to our use of time.

So much so that there is something assumed to be wrong with you if you seem unhurried and not busy with many things at once. That looks like a fail in our context. We wear busyness as a badge of significance.
- In recent study conducted (admittedly in the US), nearly 50% of people interviewed said that if their life continued at current pace unabated t ...
