"Going To" or Being Church #27

In this powerful exploration of time and spiritual purpose, we're challenged to reconsider how we spend our moments. The central message revolves around 'redeeming the time' - a concept from Ephesians 5:15-16. This isn't about productivity hacks, but about exchanging our lives for something of eternal value. We're reminded of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, symbolizing urgency in fleeing from evil and pursuing goodness. The story of Eutychus in Acts 20 serves as a poignant reminder: even in our weakest moments, being in the right place spiritually can lead to resurrection. The imagery of lamps throughout the Bible emphasizes the importance of spiritual awareness and focus. We're encouraged to consider: what captures our attention, and is it truly worth the cost of our limited time on earth? This message challenges us to live lives 'poured out' in love and service, just as Christ did for us. It's a call to redefine success not by worldly standards, but by how well we love God and others through the power of the Holy Spirit.
