Summary

The holidays can be a complicated time where the urgent crowds out the important. This week we look to Ephesians to learn how we can choose our time, use our time, and not waste our time. Just as John the Baptist prepared a way for Christ, we too have opportunities to use our time to prepare the way for Christ, no matter the season! 


1) Choose your time wisely

2) Use your time wisely

3) Don’t waste your time being filled in the wrong spirit
