Winter

For everything there is a season…

a time to be bornand a time to die,    a time to plant and a time to uproot,      a time to kill and a time to heal,         

a time to tear downand a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh,    a time to mourn and a time to dance,    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,  

a time to embrace and a time to refrain,     a time to search and a time to give up,    a time to keep and a time to throw away,     

a time to tearand a time to mend,    a time to be silent and a time to speak,     a time to love and a time to hate,    a time for war and a time for peace.

Life Has SeasonsThey are beyond OUR CONTROL

They are often CONFUSING

God has a PURPOSE for each season

They include both GOOD AND BAD times

What I SOW in one season, I’ll REAP in another

How to make the most of each season…

What can I LEARN?

What can I ENJOY?

What is MOST IMPORTANT?

How can I CONTRIBUTE?

The Conclusion of the Matter

Ecc. 12:11 The words of the wise are like goads, their

collected sayings like firmly embedded nails —given by one Shepherd (One). 12 Be

warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.

13 Now all has been heard;    here is the conclusion of

the matter:Fear God and keep his

commandments,     for this is the whole duty

of man. 

“Hear the end of the matter:

‘Fear, love and trust in God 

and keep his instructions, for this is the entirety of man.’” 

Fear God = PROPER RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM

Fear… Love… and Trust in God above all things…

The Six Constant Instructions1. To believe in God and that he created all things.2. Not to believe in anything else other than God.3. To believe in God's Oneness.4. To fear God.5. To love God.6. Not to pursue the passions of your heart and stray after your eyes.

End of the Matter:A Season-less Eternity

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never

pass away.”

Matthew 24:35

End of the Matter:A Season-less Eternity

Revelation 22 Then the angel showed me the river of the

water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of

God and of the Lamb

2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river,

the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each

month.

3 No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his

servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their

foreheads.

5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of

lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will

reign forever and ever.
