REDEEMING THE TIME | Your Life Is Burning


Time is not waiting on you.

It is passing. It is consuming. It is being spent right now.


The question is not if you are using your time.

The question is what you are spending it on.


This message is a direct, uncompromising call to wake up and live with eternity in view. Most people are distracted. Most believers are comfortable. But God did not call you to comfort. He commanded you to redeem the time.


This sermon exposes:


Why wasted time is not harmless, it is sinful negligence

The connection between redeeming time and reaching the lost

Why so many Christians stay silent about the gospel

The simplicity and power of the true gospel of Jesus Christ

The coming Judgment Seat of Christ and giving account

How to stir up the gift of God that is already inside you

Why boldness is not personality, it is produced in prayer


If you have ever said, “I want to know the will of God for my life,” this message answers that plainly.


You do not need more time.

You need to stop wasting the time you already have.
