The Vanity of Time

July 5, 2020 Speaker: Tim Rice Series: Wisdom of Ecclesiastes

Passage: Ecclesiastes 3:1-14

Memory Verse for the Week: Ecclesiastes 3:11 (ESV)

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart,
yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Intro: When did you last think about eternity?

LORD OF TIME & ETERNITY
Why does it matter that God is the Lord of all time and eternity?

OUT OF TOUCH, OUT OF TIME
When have you heard musicians off-tune? Or out of rhythm?

THE ETERNAL LORD, IN SPACE & TIME
How has the LORD worked to recover what we ruined?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US ...

1. Worship the LORD for His eternal glory and authority. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for how He ordains and sets out all things in time and eternity.

2. How have you lived as if the business God has given you is pointless, or have you sought to take the role that only He has? Confess your arrogance and unbelief to Jesus asking Him to forgive you and heal you.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for how He has worked to atone for our over-reach in our sin. Thank Him that He alone has both the proper ability and motives to order out all things and seal us for His Eternal Kingdom.

4. Who do you know that seems trapped to living here and now, with no sense of eternity? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them to see what He sees, and trust His Word and perspective.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love and patience. Pray that He would give you such a vision of Jesus’ Eternal Kingdom ahead of you that He helps sustain you in your times and seasons here until then.
