Are You Wasting Time? (7 of 8)
Series: In God We Trust

Ephesians 5:15-17
Over the last couple months, we’ve been looking at what it means to trust God. We’ve seen in Scripture that God is completely trustworthy and faithful, so we can depend on Him. While we might also put our hope in things of this world-government. jobs, other people or money-those things can falter and will eventually fail us. But God never falters or fails, so He is the One in Whom we should put our complete trust. Last week we talked about an area in which we have great difficulty trusting God-our money. Then today we’ll be talking about another area where we need to exercise stewardship-our time. When we set up this series and chose this Sunday to address the matter of time, our team had no idea it was going to be daylight savings Sunday. But what a perfect time for us to talk about time when we just lost some sleep time last night. This may be one of the most practical and pastoral messages I’ve given in a long time. We’re going to be referencing a particular Scripture passage at several points in this sermon, but we won’t be staying there as closely as we usually do. We’ll be speaking more broadly about time and how God looks at time. I’m praying that this message will be helpful to people of all ages, as we ask the question, ‘‘God, what would You have us do with the time You’ve given us?’’ Let’s look at Ephesians 5:15-17. This is what the Apostle Paul tells the church at Ephesus: 15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Today we celebrate an anniversary-not one of 10 or 12 years, but of 100 years. We should have brought balloons and made this a bigger deal. Did you know today is the 100th anniversary of something incredible? I didn’t think so. One hundred years ago, in 1918, the United States Congress passed the ...
