Let Us Redeem the Time
(Ephesians 5:15-17)

​Introduction:

         1. This morning our lesson was based on the admonition in vs.15 to "walk circumspectly" [to live and
             conduct ourselves in a way that pleases the Lord].
         2. This evening we are focusing on the admonition in vs.16 to "redeem the time" [to make the best use
             of our time].
         3. To redeem the time we must:
             a. avoid foolishness and pursue wisdom
             b. properly understand the Lord's will.
         4. In our lesson we are pointing out 5 foolish ways to use time and 5 wise ways to use time.

Discussion:

I.           5  FOOLISH  WAYS  TO  USE  TIME  [ACTIVITIES  TO  AVOID]

         A. #1: Looking back (Luke 9:62; 17:32)
         B. #2: Loving the world (2 Timothy 4:10; 1 John 2:15-17)
         C. #3: Listening to false teachers (1 John 4:1; Matthew 7:15-20)
         D. #4: Worry (Matthew 6:31-32, 34; Philippians 4:6)
         E. #5: Murmuring (Philippians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 10:10)

II.          5  WISE  WAYS  TO  USE  TIME  [ACTIVITIES  TO  PURSUE]

         A. #1: Study and meditate upon God's Word (Psalm 119:97; 19:7-11)
         B. #2: Speak properly (Proverbs 25:11; Matthew 12:35-37)
         C. #3: Maintain proper priorities (Matthew 6:33)
         D. #4: Maintain a spirit of optimism (Philippians 4:13)
         E. #5: Think on the proper things (Philippians 4:8)

Conclusion:

         1. As Ephesians 5:16b says: "the days are evil."
         2. Because we live in a time when evil is widespread, let us "walk circumspectly" and "redeem the time."
