The Gift of Time: Living with Eternal Purpose - Pastor Joel, November 9th

This sermon explores the profound truth that life is but a breath, drawing from Ecclesiastes 3 to challenge believers to steward their time wisely. The message emphasizes three critical aspects of living faithfully: recognizing and not missing the seasons God has placed us in, trusting that God makes everything beautiful in His time, and maintaining an eternal perspective in daily life. The pastor calls the congregation to prioritize relationships with God and others above all else, acknowledging that while life is burdensome and complex, God's purpose remains constant—that we should fear Him and obey His commandments. The sermon concludes with a powerful reminder that Christians should live with joy and peace, recognizing every day as a gift from God, while maintaining healthy fear (giving control) to God alone. Through honest acknowledgment of life's difficulties combined with hope in God's promises, believers can navigate every season with wisdom and purpose.
