So, Daylight Savings 2013 Ends… Can We Really Save Time?


“It is good to speak of God today.”

Thank You for coming and worshiping.


Time is limited in this life

Psalms 90:12(KJV) 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.



Death came through one man - Adam

Romans 5:12(KJV) 12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:



We will not live forever – in this life

Hebrews 9:27-28(KJV) 27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.



We live according to God’s plan and God’s time

Ephesians 6:2-3(NKJV) 2“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3“that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”


Our time is special - Our time is not just ours

Ecclesiastes 3:1-22(NKJV) 1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;



6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; 7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; 8 A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace. 9What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? 10I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. 11He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.



12I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God. 14 I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. 15 That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past. 16Moreover I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, Wickedness was there; And in the place of righteousness, Iniquity was there.



17I said in my heart, “God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.” 18I said in my heart, “Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.” 19For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.



20All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust. 21Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth? 22So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

Our time should be connected to God

Seek Him in your youth

Ecclesiastes 12:1(NKJV) 1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”:



Seek God now… while you can

Acts 24:25(KJV) 25And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.




Ecclesiastes 8:12-13(NKJV) 12Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. 13But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.




Matthew 25:1-13(NKJV) 1“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.



Seek God now… while you can6“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’



Seek God now… while you can10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.



We need to be serious about serving God

1 Corinthians 7:29-31(NKJV) 29But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none, 30those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess, 31and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away.



We should not let the cares of this world derail us

Ephesians 5:15-16(KJV) 15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.





Live carefully





Live carefully

Live mindful of the Lord



Be aware of those not in the “Way” [lost]

Colossians 4:5(KJV) 5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.



Be aware of those not in the “Way” [lost]

Colossians 4:5(KJV) 5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

Realize their time is short – use it well!



Sooner rather than later

Genesis 19:16(KJV) 16And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

1 Kings 18:21(KJV) 21And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.



Sooner rather than later

It is easy to put off following the Lord



We need to be serious about serving the Lord

Acts 17:32(NKJV) 32And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.”


How are you redeeming the time God gives you?


The best way we can thankGod for the time He gives us is by redeeming it well!

so, daylight savings 2013 ends… can we really save time?
