Paul had a limited amount of time in our Bible esson. He chose to use his time wisely to help the church and to teach others about Jesus. What is one way that he did that? (Wrote letters. Taught from his home.) 4. We should think about the way that we use our time and make sure that we are using it wisely. Are you spending time doing things that are useful for helping people hear about Jesus? Some of those things are taking time to pray, to read your Bible, to invite others to church, to tell about Jesus, and to help others. If so, you are doing some very wise things with your time. 5. If you aren t doing these things regularly, you should make time for them. What are some things you could do less of, to make more time in your schedule? (ess video games. ess sleeping in. ess sports that interfere with church.) 6. Using our time wisely does not mean never doing things that we enjoy, but it does mean doing wise things first.
