For such a time as this (For such a time as....)

So let me pray. We got to come around the wood this morning and I'll serious, would you lie is for such a Time. Today I'm going to be talking about for such a time as this other as we gather and do. What we thank you, that your word is living and effective. We thank you that your words speaks to the hearts into our lives. Father, I pray that will that what you've sowed in to me? Little would be shed and imparting to others. Father, a priority in your Mighty nein that we might hear from you. I meant I want to stop at the scripture that, you know that I love and I used it many times, but I want you to bring two scriptures together. Once you bring the scripture in Ecclesiastes it talks about there's a time and a season and this one John 10:10 the says the thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly. So the enemy comes out early to steal kill and destroy. These are the strategies. And so, when we see things being stolen from our life, when we think see things being destroyed in our lives things that are precious valuable things that we care about, let's just just be aware.

Just sit up and take. Notice. It's a strategy.

My place was stolen a couple of weeks ago through circumstances or situation or somebody had completely misunderstood an email that I sent. What I thought I had until I got on two teams, cool with that movie, too. And I realize that we weren't talking about the same thing. I'm talking about the same thing, as soon as we realize that that was the problem anymore. The problem just disappeared like that. I'm so awesome different tracks and because it was selfish because we got a big mole on right and he's wrong though she's wrong or whatever it was we got it while I buy dries up a little bit but nothing less than a minute to go on the same page. We both said I'm sorry I misunderstood

When you see things getting stolen from your life just be aware, it's probably a strategy of the enemy and what's causing the trigger the pools.

Because if we don't pay attention to these things, I'll build up and build up and build up. And suddenly, those little things to become mountains again, and they were only little things are bad. In mind in mind, as we look at this. And then my second scripture is Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verses 1 to write everything. There is a season, a time for every purpose under Heaven, a time to be born, and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to pluck. What these plummeted.

Time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build up a time to weep and a time to love, a time to mourn and a time to dance. Time to Cast Away stones and a time to gather Stein, to time, to embrace the time to refrain from embracing the time to gain. And it's time to lose it, time to keep and a time to throw at a time, to sow a time to keep silence and the time to speak Time to love and a time to hate a time of war and a time of peace.

Basic Wesley is a time for everything. What's the time? It's at 11:43? Okay, most of us we're watching. So I don't know. What do you ever worked with someone who doesn't wear a watch? And you asked me what the time is?

Yep, all you could thank you, fine. If you go to fun, but there are some people who who don't live by that what she's. There are other people who are many watches. And if you go to the meeting with them, a woman it to the end of the day, we're not careful. I'm suddenly we're looking at or what she. So what do we do in church? Everywhere. Something to get into a queue in the traffic will be looking to walk something. Have I am I going to be late. I don't know what you would like. What do your clock in your car? Is that the site? Is this the real time? Or I had my clock in? My car is 3 minutes ahead of normal time.

It's just something I do. Just gives me a little breathing site means that I should arrive 3 minutes early. And then if if there's a little glitch on the way then I got a little bit of spice. But time has become a monster. I'm there, all times might be a price on me right now.

That's probably just looking today. Okay. Dave. Is it time for everything? Is it time for everything and I want to explore a little bit. He's coming past Okay, so I want you so much in the Mist book ends that book aims to it. I mention to be born and a time to die. If you were watching the pictures at the beginning, you would have seen the picture of a new baby. That's just being bored. Just over a week help. I'm going to let you watch the picture again, but fall into a couple who we know pretty well John and Sophie and John has lived with us for many years. The number of times a number of days this week, so, it's time to reform and I want to ask people Miss something I can say to each one of us at some point, we will physically not think about this, is when we live here or not. So he crazy as he's talking about, there's a time to live. I still focus on the bus on living. I'm really speaking into the moment right now when I say things like, you know, I don't know what he'll somebody reads a newspaper or what do you read it online, but what do you keep on turning to the destitute states to see how many people died yesterday? Something he's become a measure of all day and how we live and how we feel the rights going out.

And we need to choose to live in these times. Not choose to focus on that.

there is a time for grieving, and I agree that when when someone policies there was a moment in time and again, giving you the story of how it used to be when I was in Papua New Guinea,

How can I explain this one of them went into only had one time, is everybody climb to the top and they filled up their buckets? And that contains a shower as well. And so I went to visit them and they can you. So went down to the top and the bamboo cutting around and was having a shower and then I realize there was some little faces looking underneath the bamboo cup.

Hope you don't mind me asking. Why did you want to look and see what we wanted to see whether you were white all over? because in that, in this particular Village that culture for grieving, was when a widow

When a wife died, they would paint themselves with white mutt. and when the Earth was when that timer breathing was, On this but make them look what so they were wondering, whether I was grieving and and something that happened in my life. So they were looking underneath the, the bamboo cut to see whether I was watching a live in.

So, let's not focus on that. There is a time for grieving but there's also a time for celebration from when he will come to that in a moment to remind us, there is a place to live the second one. Press the button, Secret.

Now, if we plant the seeds and overthrow the men in the church, got some seeds as part of fathers died, a few weeks ago. How is it going? Well, I hope you flaunted them. I hope your watering and looking after them, if you haven't voted in the hopes that probably not driving.

And remember I said there's a time to live their lives.

We grow in wisdom, we grow taller. When we were younger, we grow faster, when we get a bit older for not careful. What is the time for growing? What's Rusty's? A choice? If we don't speed also as well, we will not bro. I'm so let me ask you the question in the book ends of growth. What's your personal development plan? On not talkin about something that you go to work. What's the one thing that you're working on right now? Is he going to help? Is it, your is your mental health? Is it getting out and getting some fresh air at me? Like, what is your place for growth right now? The third one of these time to kill and to heal. Well, what's the what's that book at? Go back. Okay. Nice to choose health. For anybody who's had a serious illness. Like one of the things that don't trying to do was to kill some of the horrible cells, so that the healthy cells could throw. Go to do that. If it is, I might as well but you will find that to be healthy. They're often things that needs to die. If if you've ever scratched yourself to protect you as your healing and the new skin is growing behind.

It's protecting them. So let me encourage you choose health. What's that area to build up and to break down into buildup? Well, this is a time to construct. Just thinking about you thinking about putting things in place. One of the things this morning he would tell you that if your building you have to put scaffolding up. If you're going to be with you, just keep on building bricks, eventually you want me to reach the top of the world song? When you can fly, did wonderful parts of the world where they're building, scaffolding not. We still posed but we bamboo and it looks very unsafe and very dangerous, but they've been doing it for years and years and years. But if we going to go, then we often need support. If we got to go out with the previous one, if we got to be healthy, we often need support. If you can, if you're getting back from a place where you went, well, you might need to work with a stick for a while as your muscles gain strength, again. If you want to grow in a new area that often you need support, you maybe need a coach or someone to help you to say. Maybe it might be a health coach might be, it might be a healthy thinking coach, But these are times a time to live, a time to grow a time to construct. There's only to say so we pencil off. What would this be? Is it time to reflect? It's when we reflect on things, we lost about things. There are many times when I've been sitting with people. You've lost someone and we've been sitting there and then suddenly somebody's Loft. I miss being missed call. It was a moment. It was a moment. So moments, when we will wait, but there are times will we will laugh as well. Sometimes we are so busy. We have one sister is locked because he wants us to learn and to grow. There's also a time to mourn and a time to dance.

The wrong word in there. Bit of my editing problem set, a time to move. Please ignore the word on the street.

Dancing is often the time when we shake off the dust. And this is a moment when people talk about, having a way to remembering someone coming to a moment, whether they want to celebrate the life, I've had the privilege over many years of taking many people's funerals and sometimes I used to come to your senior citizens made saying she's passed now, would you be willing to do a funeral all that Grandma? I'm outside, I'm really happy to do it, but you need to know that it's three things from my point of view, whenever I do the same. Number one, Little going to celebrate a life when we want to. Remember all the good things number to want to say, farewell in the number three, I want to bring home to the funeral. Is there is a message of hope. This message went sent his son Jesus to pay the price that we need. Not have a fear of seeing all day and the impact of that. Eternity with him, So, there's a time to move from morning to dancing.

Is it time to count on, think about that counting and think, I want things matter what they think about whether we have enough, the Bible Tools in many places about who builds without having already counts County that they're going to sign is a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, is it time to Love, sometimes. Love me if you've ever had someone who's maybe fool and embrace themselves may be broken or rape. You. Give him a great big bear hug hug. I'm right now we doing all these virtual hug. We were doing the virtual hugs in the elbows, in real life saying we're trying to show people. We like them, but trying to still to be safe as well.

It's also a time to gain a time to lose and what is that? Speak of I speak some multiplication. I believe God is a god of multiplication and way. We reads various stores in the Bible story of Noah and his ark. Go forth and multiply in the end of Matthew 28, my beliefs about what who is disciple is is a disciple of someone who he's able to disciple, others bring others into the kingdom. What's that saying you can give a man a fish and you can feed him for a diet. You can teach a man to fish and you can feed him for a lifetime. Disciples. If we can, if, if we is church, can help you to show you a fight with others, then the kingdom grows not by ones. By twos and fours. And 1/8 + 16 is a god of multiplication. Is it time to keep pain to throw away? Is it time to prioritize? Anybody done a cleansing over this loss house. Cleansing room, cleansing cleansing! Are you going to need or what do I need? We go through that. When we decide what we going to keep, and what we got to throw away. It's a Time. The prioritization talking books. Let me give you one that including me, how many emails do you got that? You really don't need to get any more. It's a very simple thing. That's the guy please remove me from your mailing list.

That that that that there's a free piece of touching guidance on prioritization.

They're all t-shirts that when they get ripped into land, you think I'm throwing them away. But every other t-shirts and that's what you think I'm going to repair that. Who's that special? Maybe as a meeting, maybe it has. My baby is a beautiful shift. I'm so you repairing so there's a time to repair. These are the bookends. Is it time to keep silence? There's a time to speak.

We need to think about what we say and what we dump site as well silence speaks evening these these kind of time. So I can speak So there's a time to speak and there's a time to keep silent, but we need to think about what are we going to suck? Final to discipline for love and a time for height. What does that cause us to think about things a time for renew?

I'm is a time for war and a Time For Peace. Is it time for rebuilding?

Often wore, I'm certain things have died and things will be brought to an end. So, the new things can be boiled. Apply for rebuilding. So I'm giving you a whole set of things to think about how this morning the book kinds of Ecclesiastes a time it is a time that is

And my my my closing script already, he's the guy wanting to Quickly's. Yes these Ecclesiastes 3 verse 12. And it says this, I know that there is nothing better for them to be glad and to get and do good as long as you live. Nothing better. This follows the chapter on the time for everything. So, let me play.

Other thank you that you speak to us. And father, I pray that Lord, you'd help us to use our time. Wisely our time to your glory. I pray that Lord

You'd help us to choose and chewning to your priorities.

Father, we need to know what's on U-Haul. The father help us to be speakers to one to another. Help us to encourage one another. Help us to share one another to share your wisdom, in your truth with one another as well. We might show your glory into the words. We might as I read from the beginning of the service this morning, arise Shine for your light has come let us arise this weekend.
