Time
By Jesse Jenkins
Benchley, August 17, 2008
  • Psalms 9:1 - God is eternal
  • Each has all the time there is.
    • 8760 hours per year
    • 525,600 minutes per year
  • Properly used, we can have time for:
    • God
    • Family
    • Work to provide for our own
    • Others
    • Leisure
  • In the way we use our time, we are laying up treasure somewhere.
  • We must redeem the time.
    • Time is now, use it for:
      • God, family, brethren, others
      • Counting your blessings
  • We waste too much time by letting time slip away.
    • What can we do in one minute?
      • Pray
      • Read five to ten verses
      • Call to encourage someone
      • Say, “I love you.”
  • Time is brief and uncertain.
  • Busy people are the only ones who make time to serve.
    • Look at what Paul accomplished in less than thirty years.
    • Look at what Jesus accomplished in three years.
    • The only ones Jesus ever called to serve were busy people.
      • Peter and Andrew, James and John
      • Matthew
    • Ecclesiastes 9:10
  • Time properly used will include time for rest.

Service to God
By John Lasater
Benchley, August 8, 2008

  • Romans 6:1-23 - we must put away the old sinful man and fill our lives with the good works God demands of us.
  • II Samuel 23:14-17 - the attitude of the three mighty men is the same attitude we should have towards serving God.
  • John 7:17 - we must will to know and do the will of God.
  • Colossians 4:2-4 - Paul asked for prayers for opportunities to spread the Word.
    • What do we do when these opportunities come?
