1. Welcome to Southside Church of Christ Sermon: Andy Chavarrilla, Youth & Family Minister

2. Time for Everything

3. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

4. What is Time? Time is both friend and foe: – It gives us structure. – It gives us limits. Some allow time to: limit their faith at times it kills faith

5. Where Does Your Time Go? The Average American (Age 25+) – 8.7 Working – 2.6 Leisure and Sports – 1.1 Household Activities – 1.1 Eating – 1.7 Caring for Others – 1.2 Driving – 7.6 Sleeping Where does God fit in your 24hr day?

7. Time in Prayer Pray without ceasing. (I Thess. 5:17) All men everywhere pray (I Tim. 2:8) Jesus taught us how to pray (Matt. 6:9ff) Jesus made time to pray (Mark 1:35)

8. Time in His Word Delight in His word. (Psalm 1:2) Is it engrafted on our heart? (Psalm 119:11) Do we search it daily? (Acts 17) Do we study it constantly? (II Timothy 2:15)

9. Time in His Word Can we speak to God like David? “Search me, Oh God, know my heart; try me and know my thoughts (Psalm 139:23).”

10. Time Spreading His Word Is it worth telling? – Mark 16:16 – Mark 5:19 We all want to follow! But all of us need to share!

12. God Spent Time For You He Planned from the first… – From the first transgression God planned to send a Savior. Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your off spring and hers; He will crush your head and you will strike His heel.”

13. Time was Important to God 300 Years between the testaments… God again would choose to speak to the people. Galatians 4:4 “But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son to be born of a woman, born under the law.”

14. The Time Had Come Established Salvation Through – An Established Savior Matthew 16:13-18 Matthew 17:5 Romans 5:6 “For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.”

15. The Time Had Come Established Salvation In His church – Daniel 2 -“Those Kings” – Mark 9:2 – apostolic time frame – Matthew 16:18- His church “…And on this rock I will build My church…”

17. Time is in Your Favor We await His return – Time will eventually run out You think you have one more day –Matthew 24:36 Why do the innocent suffer- Revelation 6 Why Obey the Gospel? –II Thessalonians 1:9,10

18. There is Still Time.. Time to put on Christ… Time to be added to His Church… Time to make things right with God…
