Out of Time

This sermon centers on the urgent reality of living with eternity in view, using Jesus' parable of the rich fool in Luke 12:16–21 to confront the danger of prioritizing temporal wealth over spiritual richness. It emphasizes that time is a finite gift from God, marked by uncertainty and brevity, while the soul is eternal and accountable to God. The preacher warns against self-centeredness and materialism, illustrating how a life focused on earthly accumulation—without relationship to God—leads to spiritual bankruptcy, as the rich man's fate shows. Drawing from Scripture, the message calls believers to steward time, talent, and resources for eternal purposes, especially in marriage, where husbands and wives are to reflect Christ's sacrificial love and care for one another's souls. Ultimately, the sermon urges both believers and unbelievers to recognize that true wealth is being rich toward God, and to live now in light of the coming judgment, seeking salvation while it is still called today.
