SCRIPTURE

Ephesians 5:13-21 (ESV)

13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,

“Wake up, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

OVERVIEW

Stop Wasting Time | Ephesians 5:13-21

Time is one of the greatest gifts God has given us. But are we using it wisely, or allowing the distractions and influences of the world to pull us away from His purpose?

In this week's message, Stop Wasting Time, Pastor Collin Brennan challenges us to examine how we live and what we allow to influence our decisions.

3 Takeaways

Ephesians 5:16 reminds us to make the most of every opportunity because the days are evil.

The question isn't simply how much time we have left. It's what we're doing with the time God has given us.
