Sand Castles are fun, there
are few things more exciting
00:00:24.99\00:00:30.43
to a child than building their
own sand castle on the beach.
00:00:30.46\00:00:34.43
What a wonderful way
to fully enjoy the sun,
00:00:34.46\00:00:38.07
revel in the warm sand
and get your hands dirty
00:00:38.10\00:00:41.87
and it doesn't take
much to build your very own
00:00:41.90\00:00:45.41
classic sand castle masterpiece.
00:00:45.44\00:00:48.54
All you need is some damp
sand, a small bucket, and spade,
00:00:48.58\00:00:53.31
and a vivid imagination
then the beach becomes special.
00:00:53.35\00:00:59.69
A place of fantasy, imagination,
and dreams built with a bucket
00:00:59.72\00:01:05.39
and spade. But there's another
type of sand castle that is
00:01:05.43\00:01:10.03
much rarer, it requires far
more skill, it's far more time
00:01:10.07\00:01:15.17
consuming requires more tools,
and demands a lot more patience
00:01:15.20\00:01:20.11
and perseverance. But it's
an artistic masterpiece and its
00:01:20.14\00:01:25.25
beauty is stunning. I'm
referring to sand sculptures.
00:01:25.28\00:01:31.45
We can only marvel at the
skill of these artists and when
00:01:31.49\00:01:34.99
it comes to sand sculpturing,
Dennis Massoud is the king of
00:01:35.02\00:01:39.26
the castle. He's a master
sandman, a world champion sand
00:01:39.29\00:01:44.90
sculptor. He's taking to the
humble art of building a sand
00:01:44.93\00:01:48.74
castle to entirely new levels.
Known worldwide as the Sandman.
00:01:48.77\00:01:55.38
Dennis Massoud produces
exquisite masterpieces from
00:01:55.41\00:02:00.22
sand, dolphins, mermaids,
horses, dragons, hands holding a
00:02:00.25\00:02:05.95
baby, and a
pirate's treasure chest.
00:02:05.99\00:02:08.02
And he's taken on
some incredible projects
00:02:08.06\00:02:11.89
like the Pontus project like
here in Circular Quai, Sydney
00:02:11.93\00:02:15.93
where he built a life-size
replica of a Quanta's jet plane
00:02:15.96\00:02:19.90
complete with pilot and
passengers all made of sand.
00:02:19.93\00:02:25.47
Today at Noosa Beach in
Australia's Sunshine Coast
00:02:25.51\00:02:29.74
Dennis is creating one
of his more straight-forward
00:02:29.78\00:02:33.58
sand sculptures for us but one
that carries a profound message,
00:02:33.62\00:02:37.72
a timely message.
00:02:37.75\00:02:39.79
Dennis Massoud or Sandman as
he's known as a world champion
00:02:49.90\00:02:55.40
sand sculptor, his expertise,
experience, and popularity
00:02:55.44\00:03:00.08
have taken him around the world
nine times in recent years.
00:03:00.11\00:03:04.35
He's been offered an assignment
to create the world's biggest
00:03:04.38\00:03:08.82
sand sculpture from 38,000 tons
of sand with a base 100 meters
00:03:08.85\00:03:14.52
across and 38 meters high.
00:03:14.56\00:03:17.16
But today he's creating one
of his smaller less complicated
00:03:17.19\00:03:22.33
masterpieces and he's
going to make it from just plain
00:03:22.36\00:03:28.14
regular beach sand. The kind
found on any beach in Australia.
00:03:28.17\00:03:34.64
Now, you might think
that's normal for sand sculptors
00:03:34.68\00:03:38.61
but it isn't, you see,
there's a little secret to the
00:03:38.65\00:03:42.98
construction material
used by most sand artists.
00:03:43.02\00:03:46.22
Now regular old family sand
castles are made with a circular
00:03:46.25\00:03:52.06
grains of sand found on the
beach which quickly roll-off
00:03:52.09\00:03:55.86
each other once dry and
cause the structure to collapse.
00:03:55.90\00:03:59.87
But sand artists will often
use building sand or river sand
00:03:59.90\00:04:04.87
that is angular grains
mixed with a fraction of silt
00:04:04.91\00:04:08.94
and clay to help
bond the sand together.
00:04:08.98\00:04:11.95
But today, Dennis is
using plain old Noosa Beach sand
00:04:11.98\00:04:17.39
to produce one of his famous
sand creations, the clock.
00:04:17.42\00:04:22.29
He uses sand to capture
the elusive resource of time
00:04:22.32\00:04:27.23
that we all have. Dennis
literally depicts the sands
00:04:27.26\00:04:33.00
of time. Time is
like ever shifting sand,
00:04:33.03\00:04:37.27
it never stands still.
Some people understand the
00:04:37.31\00:04:42.14
importance of time, they
master it and leave their mark
00:04:42.18\00:04:46.68
and are remembered for
their actions and achievements.
00:04:46.72\00:04:49.28
Often that's what
separates successful people from
00:04:49.32\00:04:53.89
ordinary ones. Knowing
how to manage your time well.
00:04:53.92\00:04:59.06
You see, time is the most
valuable asset in your life.
00:04:59.09\00:05:04.70
Even more valuable than
money, if you lose money,
00:05:04.73\00:05:08.80
it can be replaced if you
lose time it's gone forever.
00:05:08.84\00:05:14.31
so it's your most precious
resource because you can
00:05:14.34\00:05:18.18
make more money but
you can't make more time.
00:05:18.21\00:05:20.88
All of us get the same
amount of time every week
00:05:20.92\00:05:25.25
168 hours. Often the difference
between people who make their
00:05:25.29\00:05:31.53
lives count and those who don't
is how they respect and manage
00:05:31.56\00:05:36.10
their time. And sometimes that
can be a hard lesson to learn
00:05:36.13\00:05:40.84
it can even be a life-and-death
issue as two of Australia's
00:05:40.87\00:05:45.51
famous earlier
explorers discovered.
00:05:45.54\00:05:48.64
On the 20th of August
1816 Robert O'Hara Burke
00:05:51.01\00:05:55.45
and Irish-borne ex-army officer
and policeman and William John
00:05:55.48\00:05:59.55
Wills a surveyor and
meteorologist and their teams
00:05:59.59\00:06:03.29
set out for Melbourne with
the the intention of crossing
00:06:03.32\00:06:06.93
Australia from south to north,
a distance of 3,250 kilometers.
00:06:06.96\00:06:12.73
Both were inexperienced
but they had an indomitable
00:06:12.77\00:06:16.94
spirits and determination.
00:06:16.97\00:06:19.14
After three months of
travel, Burke decided to leave a
00:06:19.17\00:06:23.98
Supply Camp at the
Dig Tree on Coopers Creek
00:06:24.01\00:06:27.02
and go on with just four men
himself, Wills, King, and Gray
00:06:27.05\00:06:32.15
to reach the Gulf of
Carpentaria. He left Brahe in
00:06:32.19\00:06:37.33
charge of the support team at
Cooper's Creek and told him to
00:06:37.36\00:06:40.63
wait at the camp for
three months for their return
00:06:40.66\00:06:43.53
Brahe waited over four months.
Against all odds on the 9th
00:06:43.57\00:06:50.21
of 1861. The team made it all
the way to the Flinders River
00:06:50.24\00:06:54.38
in the Gulf of Carpentaria.
but now they had to get back
00:06:54.41\00:06:59.91
to the support team at Coopers
Creek, they were very low on
00:06:59.95\00:07:03.45
supplies and realized that
making it back was going to be
00:07:03.49\00:07:07.56
nearly impossible. The
return trip was grueling,
00:07:07.59\00:07:11.99
Gray died of exhaustion
and Burke, Wills, and King
00:07:12.03\00:07:17.17
staggered back to the base
camp at Coopers Creek on the
00:07:17.20\00:07:20.47
21st of April, 1861.
Unfortunately, Brahe had left
00:07:20.50\00:07:26.94
for Melbourne that very
same day nine hours before.
00:07:26.98\00:07:31.41
They missed rescue by just
nine hours, just nine hours
00:07:31.45\00:07:37.29
that means the difference
between life and death.
00:07:37.32\00:07:40.56
Bitterly disappointed at
missing Brahe and the support
00:07:40.59\00:07:44.93
team their spirit was broken,
they had been so agonizingly
00:07:44.96\00:07:50.13
close to rescue, missed by
just hours, so near yet so far.
00:07:50.17\00:07:56.20
Depressed and with their hopes
dashed Burke, Wills, and King
00:07:56.24\00:08:02.44
made the fatal decision to walk
southwest in search of help.
00:08:02.48\00:08:07.08
Within a few weeks both
Burke and Wills were dead
00:08:07.12\00:08:11.45
crippled with exhaustion
they died of starvation.
00:08:11.49\00:08:15.22
Their tragic end reminds
us of the importance of time
00:08:15.26\00:08:20.66
how critical minutes,
hours, and days can be
00:08:20.70\00:08:24.67
The old saying is true.
00:08:24.70\00:08:31.11
And our very existence our
success and happiness in life
00:08:31.17\00:08:36.08
is determined by how we
handle or take care of our time.
00:08:36.11\00:08:41.02
There's a wise old
riddle that goes like this...
00:08:44.19\00:08:46.65
Of course, the answer is time.
00:09:04.77\00:09:08.08
Now, there is a
fascinating reality about life,
00:09:08.11\00:09:11.18
all of us get the same amount
of time each day, 1,440 minutes,
00:09:11.21\00:09:18.09
we get the same amount
of time each week 168 hours,
00:09:18.12\00:09:23.43
it comes to us in equal
amounts no matter who we are.
00:09:23.46\00:09:27.90
If you are extremely
wealthy, you can't buy more time
00:09:27.93\00:09:32.23
if you're a famous scientist,
you can't create more.
00:09:32.27\00:09:36.34
No matter who you are
rich or poor, black or white,
00:09:36.37\00:09:40.14
male or female, it doesn't
matter we all get the same
00:09:40.18\00:09:44.35
amount of time. Sometimes
it seems to go fast or slow
00:09:44.38\00:09:50.15
when an actual fact time passes
at the same speed for all of us.
00:09:50.19\00:09:55.92
Now, if you're anything
like me it seems that time just
00:09:55.96\00:10:02.06
races by, there's
never enough time in the day.
00:10:02.10\00:10:05.27
But since we all
get the same 24 hours,
00:10:05.30\00:10:08.60
why is it that some
people achieve so much more than
00:10:08.64\00:10:13.78
others? The answer lies
in good time management.
00:10:13.81\00:10:18.58
Our use of time will determine
the quality, joy, and influence
00:10:18.61\00:10:24.99
of our lives. You see, the
difference between people who
00:10:25.02\00:10:29.72
make their lives count and those
who don't is how they manage
00:10:29.76\00:10:34.06
their time.
00:10:34.10\00:10:35.43
So, what does
all this really mean?
00:10:35.46\00:10:38.83
What is time management?
00:10:38.87\00:10:40.87
Well, it refers to how you
choose to spend your waking
00:10:40.90\00:10:45.04
hours to achieve as much as
possible and accomplish your
00:10:45.07\00:10:49.04
goals and get
the most out of life.
00:10:49.08\00:10:52.58
With the right time management
skills life becomes easy
00:10:52.61\00:10:57.42
because good time management
let's you work smarter,
00:10:57.45\00:11:01.52
not harder. You get
more things done in less time
00:11:01.56\00:11:05.96
even when time is
tight and pressures are high.
00:11:05.99\00:11:09.53
So, in managing our time one of
the first things we need to do
00:11:09.56\00:11:15.50
is recognize the
importance and value of time
00:11:15.54\00:11:19.97
it's a precious
and limited resource.
00:11:20.01\00:11:22.81
As we've noticed it's arguably
our most precious resource
00:11:22.84\00:11:28.48
it cannot be stolen,
slowed down, or be held back,
00:11:28.52\00:11:32.49
all portions of
time are valuable.
00:11:32.52\00:11:36.22
To realize the value of
one year ask a student who has
00:11:36.26\00:11:41.10
failed a final exam. To
realize the value of one month
00:11:41.13\00:11:45.03
ask the parents
of a premature baby.
00:11:45.07\00:11:48.20
To realize the value of
one week, ask the producer of a
00:11:48.24\00:11:52.94
weekly television program.
00:11:52.97\00:11:54.58
They realize the value
of one hour, ask two lovers
00:11:54.61\00:11:59.28
waiting to meet each other.
00:11:59.31\00:12:00.68
To realize the value of nine
hours remember Burke and Wills?
00:12:00.72\00:12:06.19
To realize the value of
one minute ask someone who's
00:12:06.22\00:12:10.69
just missed a train or plane.
00:12:10.73\00:12:12.73
To realize the value of
one second, ask someone who's
00:12:12.76\00:12:17.33
just survived a fatal accident.
00:12:17.37\00:12:19.03
To realize the value of a
millisecond ask someone who
00:12:19.07\00:12:23.91
won a silver
medal at the Olympics.
00:12:23.94\00:12:26.24
A second point in managing
our time is to recognize
00:12:26.27\00:12:31.21
that time is a
resource to be cared for.
00:12:31.25\00:12:35.42
Please listen to the words
of the Bible in Psalms 90 and
00:12:35.45\00:12:39.95
verse 12...
00:12:39.99\00:12:41.32
Notice that time
management must be taught,
00:12:47.40\00:12:51.67
most of us are
ordinarily naturally good at it
00:12:51.70\00:12:54.60
we naturally waste time.
We naturally fritter it away
00:12:54.64\00:12:59.04
on things that
don't really matter.
00:12:59.07\00:13:01.14
We must learn how
to use our time wisely.
00:13:01.18\00:13:06.08
We need to consider some basic
principles that will help us
00:13:06.11\00:13:10.99
start getting a better
grasp on our calendar and daily
00:13:11.02\00:13:14.36
schedule so we can
make the most of our time.
00:13:14.39\00:13:17.69
We can start by keeping a diary
that will help us list our daily
00:13:17.73\00:13:23.16
and weekly schedule. A
diary can help us in two ways,
00:13:23.20\00:13:27.10
it helps us plan our day and
it also shows us over the week
00:13:27.14\00:13:32.57
how we are spending our time.
00:13:32.61\00:13:34.84
A diary can help in determining
our priorities and workin' out
00:13:34.88\00:13:40.32
what's really urgent
when budgeting our time.
00:13:40.35\00:13:43.59
Now, a third point in managing
our time is be intentional
00:13:43.62\00:13:49.59
in investing our time.
00:13:49.62\00:13:51.66
Time cannot be saved
but it can be invested.
00:13:51.69\00:13:57.03
Consider the hours of one week
and what amount of time is left
00:13:57.07\00:14:02.40
after sleep, work, meals, and
self-care and personal needs.
00:14:02.44\00:14:08.14
Let's say we roughly spend
eight hours a day sleeping,
00:14:08.18\00:14:11.95
eight hours working,
that's five days a week.
00:14:11.98\00:14:15.18
two hours a day eating,
two hours a day on person needs
00:14:15.22\00:14:20.16
and chores. Now that leaves us
about 44 hours a week including
00:14:20.19\00:14:25.59
our weekends. That's
approximately four hours a day
00:14:25.63\00:14:30.37
during the week and
eight hours a day on weekends
00:14:30.40\00:14:34.24
that's your time, Free time.
00:14:34.27\00:14:37.17
How we spend that time, those
44 hours every week reveals
00:14:37.21\00:14:42.44
a lot about our priorities
and our goals in life.
00:14:42.48\00:14:46.25
How you spend that time shows
what's really important to you,
00:14:46.28\00:14:51.35
what matters most in your life.
00:14:51.39\00:14:54.26
Knowing what is
important, working that out
00:14:54.29\00:14:57.99
counts for so much, it means
everything that will determine
00:14:58.03\00:15:03.57
your level of happiness
and fulfillment in life.
00:15:03.60\00:15:06.74
And may I suggest that the
best way to spend a good portion
00:15:06.77\00:15:12.24
of those, 44 hours is
on your relationships.
00:15:12.27\00:15:16.11
Building relationships
with friends, family, and God.
00:15:16.14\00:15:21.65
The Bible actually provides
an order of priorities for our
00:15:21.68\00:15:26.65
relationships, it recommends
God First, Family Second,
00:15:26.69\00:15:31.63
and then friends
and acquaintances.
00:15:31.66\00:15:34.80
And because relationships take
time, God invites us to spend
00:15:34.83\00:15:39.57
quality time with Him each
week. He recommends a weekly
00:15:39.60\00:15:44.11
appointment and
even specifies the time.
00:15:44.14\00:15:47.41
You see, building relationships
takes time and if we want to be
00:15:47.44\00:15:53.15
happy and content, we need
to make our relationships a
00:15:53.18\00:15:57.82
priority and that will require
an intentional investment of
00:15:57.85\00:16:01.72
our time. Our fourth
point in managing our time is to
00:16:01.76\00:16:07.13
manage our time wisely.
00:16:07.16\00:16:09.80
To illustrate this, imagine
a jar that's to be filled with
00:16:09.83\00:16:14.70
rocks, pebbles, sand, and water.
The rocks represent the big
00:16:14.74\00:16:20.68
issues of life, the other
elements represent peripheral
00:16:20.71\00:16:24.81
matters. Now if the sand, water,
pebbles and debris are poured
00:16:24.85\00:16:30.19
first, into the jar, they're
be no room to fit in the rocks.
00:16:30.22\00:16:34.99
The most important things
in life, the highest priorities
00:16:35.02\00:16:39.73
can easily be crowded out by
the non-essentials if we focus
00:16:39.76\00:16:44.47
on them first and foremost.
00:16:44.50\00:16:46.33
We live in a world where things
and positions are often promoted
00:16:46.37\00:16:51.44
the great priority.
We're programmed to associate
00:16:51.47\00:16:55.64
happiness with
having possessions.
00:16:55.68\00:16:57.91
In our culture, it's easy to
get addicted to material things
00:16:57.95\00:17:03.18
we're bombarded
with advertisements,
00:17:03.22\00:17:06.09
marketing strategies and
gimmicks that are designed
00:17:06.12\00:17:09.89
to tell us that things,
fast cars, designer clothes,
00:17:09.92\00:17:14.53
expensive mansions,
watches, furniture, smartphones,
00:17:14.56\00:17:18.47
and so on are the
important priorities in life
00:17:18.50\00:17:22.30
and once you have these things,
these material possessions
00:17:22.34\00:17:26.78
then you'll be happy.
00:17:26.81\00:17:28.81
But Jesus wants us to experience
genuine happiness so he warned
00:17:28.84\00:17:35.62
against this idea
that possessions will bring
00:17:35.65\00:17:38.79
happiness. Here's His warning
in Luke chapter 12 verse 15.
00:17:38.82\00:17:43.83
Happiness and fulfillment
aren't found in things,
00:17:55.30\00:17:59.24
all possessions are
temporary by nature,
00:17:59.27\00:18:02.51
they look shiny and new
in the store, but immediately
00:18:02.54\00:18:06.68
as soon as the package is opened
they begin to perish, spoil
00:18:06.72\00:18:11.35
or fail. There's always
something new right around
00:18:11.39\00:18:15.79
the corner,
you'll never have enough.
00:18:15.82\00:18:18.23
Now, let's be clear,
it's not wrong to have things
00:18:18.26\00:18:22.53
we all need them but if
they become our priority
00:18:22.56\00:18:26.90
over God and relationships,
then we need to re-focus.
00:18:26.94\00:18:32.17
Here's something else that
is important, having a purpose
00:18:32.21\00:18:36.41
it's vital to have a
clear purpose in life.
00:18:36.44\00:18:39.95
When we get so caught up
in chasing material things
00:18:39.98\00:18:44.49
it can distract us from
living a life that is purposeful
00:18:44.52\00:18:48.42
and meaningful. Instead
of focusing on relationships
00:18:48.46\00:18:52.13
and building life skills
that bring meaning to our lives
00:18:52.16\00:18:55.66
we instead choose to
focus on material gain.
00:18:55.70\00:18:59.53
Steve Jobs summed this up
perfectly with his quote...
00:18:59.57\00:19:04.34
In the end, our material
possessions will cease to matter
00:19:16.65\00:19:21.69
anymore, and all that we
will be remember for is our
00:19:21.72\00:19:25.66
relationships, how we made
others feel and what good things
00:19:25.69\00:19:30.27
we brought to the
world and ultimately
00:19:30.30\00:19:33.57
our relationship with God.
00:19:33.60\00:19:35.84
Now back to managing our
time, it's important to plan.
00:19:35.87\00:19:42.14
The old saying is true, he who
fails to plan, plans to fail.
00:19:42.18\00:19:48.25
We discussed earlier how
its good to draw up a daily plan
00:19:48.28\00:19:53.56
and the weekly schedule as
these strategies will enable us
00:19:53.59\00:19:57.93
to make the most of our time.
00:19:57.96\00:20:00.73
We come now to the
fifth point in managing time.
00:20:00.76\00:20:05.63
Enjoy time. Using our
time wisely is an important
00:20:05.67\00:20:12.01
responsibility but it
shouldn't be a burden,
00:20:12.04\00:20:15.38
time is a gift to enjoy. When
we look at the life and example
00:20:15.41\00:20:20.82
of Jesus, we are reminded
of this, He had the greatest
00:20:20.85\00:20:24.72
most important mission and
responsibility of any person
00:20:24.75\00:20:28.79
who has ever lived but he
didn't live His life according
00:20:28.82\00:20:32.03
to a full and rigid schedule.
He lived a balanced life
00:20:32.06\00:20:36.00
and made sure he
included time to enjoy it.
00:20:36.03\00:20:40.84
He had time for children.
Here's what the Bible says in
00:20:40.87\00:20:44.34
Mark chapter 10:
and verses 13 to 16...
00:20:44.37\00:20:47.38
Yes, Jesus had time for children
and He also had time for
00:21:23.81\00:21:29.75
friends. The Bible tells us that
He often went to Bethany for
00:21:29.78\00:21:34.79
example to spend time with
His friends Lazarus, Mary, and
00:21:34.82\00:21:39.33
Martha. Jesus also appreciated
nature and spent a lot of time
00:21:39.36\00:21:44.17
in the great outdoors, He also
regularly accepted invitations
00:21:44.20\00:21:49.17
to share meals with a
variety of different people.
00:21:49.20\00:21:52.54
Here's what the Bible says in
Luke chapter 19 verses 5 to 7.
00:21:52.57\00:21:57.78
In His busy schedule
Jesus made time to socialize
00:22:20.14\00:22:25.47
and spend time visiting people
and establishing friendships.
00:22:25.51\00:22:29.91
We too would do well in
our busy schedules to make time
00:22:29.94\00:22:35.25
to enjoy life, socialize,
and have fun with family and
00:22:35.28\00:22:41.29
friends. We should also regard
time as a friend, the Bible
00:22:41.32\00:22:48.63
encourages us to take time
to rest, to be quiet and to be
00:22:48.66\00:22:53.87
still. Life isn't
designed to be a constant slot,
00:22:53.90\00:22:58.44
a well-balanced use of time
involves rest and relaxation,
00:22:58.47\00:23:03.81
we are to live and
enjoy a day at a time.
00:23:03.85\00:23:08.68
It's wise to find time to
enjoy the present and savor the
00:23:08.72\00:23:13.39
challenges and opportunities
of each day as it comes.
00:23:13.42\00:23:17.79
You know, when I was young,
I learned to play the piano
00:23:17.83\00:23:22.63
and I learned that a sheet of
music contains rests or pauses
00:23:22.66\00:23:28.44
there is no music in a
rest but a rest is part of a
00:23:28.47\00:23:33.51
musical piece.
00:23:33.54\00:23:34.94
Times of quiet and rest
are part of the rhythm of life
00:23:34.98\00:23:40.05
God advises us to set aside
a full day every week to rest
00:23:40.08\00:23:46.79
and worship. And that could be
one of the most enjoyable ways
00:23:46.82\00:23:51.36
to relax and enjoy time.
Enjoying time involves creating
00:23:51.39\00:23:56.87
memories, planning special
experiences and leaving space
00:23:56.90\00:24:01.57
rests in our busy lives.
00:24:01.60\00:24:04.87
Enjoying time is more
conducive to better health,
00:24:04.91\00:24:09.04
better relationships
and a more productive life,
00:24:09.08\00:24:12.81
it's an important part
of managing our time wisely.
00:24:12.85\00:24:18.85
When I consider time, the
sands of time, and Dennis's
00:24:18.89\00:24:24.16
sand sculptured plot and I
look at the world around us
00:24:24.19\00:24:27.80
as it moves from
crisis to crisis I'm reminded
00:24:27.83\00:24:32.57
that a time will
come on God's great clock,
00:24:32.60\00:24:35.70
and it seems that
hour is about to strike.
00:24:35.74\00:24:39.27
The Bible tells us that
the end will come but the end
00:24:39.31\00:24:45.11
will also bring a new beginning.
00:24:45.15\00:24:48.38
When Jesus Christ comes again it
will be the end of this world's
00:24:48.42\00:24:52.79
system of evil, pain, and
suffering and the beginning
00:24:52.82\00:24:56.93
of God's eternal kingdom and
His reign throughout the earth.
00:24:56.96\00:25:01.90
But before that hour strikes,
our world is in crisis after
00:25:01.93\00:25:07.60
crisis we're experiencing it.
God's great prophetic timepiece
00:25:07.64\00:25:14.14
is ticking and it is
soon to strike midnight.
00:25:14.18\00:25:18.55
Today is your day of salvation
here's what God's word the Bible
00:25:18.58\00:25:26.02
says in 2 Corinthians
chapter 6 and verse 2.
00:25:26.05\00:25:29.99
Today you can accept
Jesus Christ your savior,
00:25:49.24\00:25:53.65
you can put your faith, your
trust and your confidence in
00:25:53.68\00:25:58.25
Him. He will provide a
solid foundation for your life
00:25:58.29\00:26:02.36
far more solid than
the shifting sands of time.
00:26:02.39\00:26:06.49
He will change your dimension
of time and put you into
00:26:06.53\00:26:10.87
eternity with Him.
00:26:10.90\00:26:13.80
If you would like to
know more about God's great
00:26:13.84\00:26:18.01

Let's pray.
00:27:49.56\00:27:51.10
Dear Heavenly Father, We
thank you for the precious
00:27:51.13\00:27:55.20
gift of time. Lord,
teach us to number our days
00:27:55.24\00:27:59.37
that we may gain
a heart of wisdom.
00:27:59.41\00:28:01.88
Help us to get our priorities
right so that we invest
00:28:01.91\00:28:05.51
sufficient time in our
relationships with our friends,
00:28:05.55\00:28:09.62
our families, and
most importantly our God.
00:28:09.65\00:28:13.76
We ask these
things in Jesus' name.
00:28:13.79\00:28:16.86
Amen!
00:28:16.89\00:28:18.49
