Today, By Your Love, One God, I Speak Jesus-Reliably True (medley)

Welcome

What word would you use to describe how you view “time”?

Word

EPHESIANS 5:15-18

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

POINT IT OUT!

I. EXAMINE YOUR LIFE:

“Be careful how you walk…”
(Ephesians 5:15)

II. REDEEM YOUR TIME:

“Making the most of every opportunity”
(Ephesians 5:16)

III. DETERMINE YOUR PURPOSE:

“Understand what the will of the Lord is”
(Ephesians 5:17)

IV. EMBRACE YOUR PRIORITY:

“Be filled with the spirit”
(Ephesians 5:18)
