Time Chasers

Good morning and Welcome to Bolton Community Church.  I hope that you are enjoying your morning with us and that you leave feeling refreshed and restored in your faith.  If you need anything just ask one of the Student Hosts this morning by the entrance.

Today we will be discussing the topic of being a TIME CHASER. We will be looking at Ecclesiastes 3:1 – 8 for the reading this morning.

TIME CHASERS

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

We will examine the idea that it is “Time” we as Christians stop doing a few things and start doing others.

“As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.” John 9:4

In this particular instance, Jesus realized that His ministry was drawing to a close. He knew that His time on earth was coming to an end. So He healed the man who had been born blind, and gave him the gift of sight.

Jesus wanted to make a difference in the lives of as many people as possible before the Time came for Him to lay down His life on the cross.

In the same way, we too need to come to grips with the fact that TIME is running out, and that Jesus could return at any moment.

What did Jesus teach His Disciples about this? He said, “”Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:23-24 (NIV)

Jesus said, “stop judging others, and you will not be judged. Stop criticizing others, or it will all come back on you. If you forgive others, you will be forgiven.” Luke 6:37 (NLT)

4. “BUT IF SERVING THE LORD SEEMS UNDESIRABLE TO YOU THEN CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE, WHETHER THE GODS YOUR FOREFATHERS SERVED BEYOND THE RIVER, OR THE GODS OF THE AMORITES, IN WHOSE LAND YOU ARE LIVING. BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.” JOSH 24:15 (NIV)
