We're looking at a message entitled, Redeeming the Times, and I did not make a typo.

Redeeming the Times.

So if you think about it, we just came out of an election that we're so excited for the turnout, right?

But that doesn't give us the right to sit around and do nothing as Christians we didn't

fight to i would say number one fight for the life of the unborn and number two to maintain our

religious freedoms we didn't do those things so that we could

sit around and not take advantage of them we need to make sure that we are moving forward and that

we're redeeming the times because we believe god sort of pushed the pause button as the nation was headed towards just peril

and has given us an opportunity.

So with that in mind, let's pray.

Father, we come before you this morning and thank you for this amazing opportunity

that you've given us and the freedom that we continue to have in this country

to be able to proclaim the gospel freely,

unashamed, Lord, openly, and one-on-one, however, Lord, you make an opportunity for us to do just that.

So we surrender this morning to you.

We pray in this time of study we would hear from you and you only.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. So time is a valuable resource. We can spend it, we can save it,

and we can redeem it. 2024 is ending, but it's not over yet. And I would suggest that we not put off to 2025 what the Lord might be telling us to do today.

We have this tendency when we get near the end of a year that we start saying, I'll do it in the new year.

We start making those New Year's resolutions.

Now, I myself, this is just my personal thing and nothing against you, I don't make them.

Because one thing I know is if I against you, I don't make them.
