Ecc 3:1
There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—

Usually when I hear this verse read from the pulpit I think “uhoh, what’s up?”

The balance of the passage, which we will examine, speaks of “a time…”.

It does give insight into times of transition.
But there is more.

God knows all the time of our lives.
God created time, yet, God is outside of time.

He knows all the things of our lives.
It goes beyond God knowing.

He has designed works for us to walk in.

Eph 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

God has prepared “beforehand” - before the foundation of creation-works that we are to walk in.

Think on that.

We do not have “try to figure out what God wants us to do”.
We simply walk in obedience.

Yes, there are appointed times.

As many of you have heard recently, we have a transition in personal appointed times.

We are moving from St. Andrews church to First Baptist church.

Different local gatherings.
Same Body of Christ.

Thanks to St. Andrews for the years of worship and Word.

Our weekly appointed time of corporate worship might be drawing to an end, yet we will still be one in Body and community.

The local Bible studies will continue, just across the hollar…

First Baptist, we rejoice in the appointed time of the Lord.

What hath the Lord prepared?

Mic 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
