Lemons of Time Disruption | When Life Gives You Lemons | Week 1

 2 Corinthians 4:16-17
 “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”

 The challenges that we are facing today are opportunities to realign our lives with God, to bring Him praise, and to declare His Gospel in the earth.

 Time can feel different based on the circumstances. 

                                               i.     Time can feel different based upon the CONDITION you’re in. 

                                             ii.     Time can feel different based upon the ATMOSPHERE you’re in. 

Genesis 5:24
“Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.”

                                            iii.     Time can feel different based upon the VALUES that you have.

 Big Idea: Time disruptions are opportunities to realign with God’s purpose and assignments.

  Job 14:5-6
 “A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed. So look away from him and let him alone, till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.”

 Ephesians 5:15-16 - 15
”Be careful, then, how you live, not as unwise but as wise 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil 17 Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
