How to Have the Time of Your Life

Ephesians 5:16
INTRO: I want you to take God's Word now this morning and I want you to be finding your place at Ephesians chapter 5 if you will. And in just a few moments we're going to be looking at verse number 16.
While you are finding your place there at Ephesians chapter 5, I want to ask you a question. How many of you know that we are now living in the year 2004? Raise your hands. That's good.

As we begin the year 2004 my prayer and my plan for my life and your life and our church's life is that this might be the greatest year of growth that we have ever seen. Spiritual growth. Physical growth. Intellectual growth. Emotional growth.
Now, in order for us to grow in all of those areas that I just mentioned, spiritual, physical, intellectual, and emotional, there are some things that are going to have to change. There are some areas that we are going to have to grow in. You see, we can't keep doing the same old things and expect to get different results. We are going to have to raise the bar. We are going to have to raise the standard. We're going to have to buckle down if you will. We are going to have t ...
