00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,600
Hello and welcome to the
Middletown Baptist Church podcast,

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,240
where we are proclaiming the
truth to the world.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,760
In this podcast series, we're
going to be looking into biblical

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,920
words that have great
significance to our faith.

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,840
The name of this series is
called the Word of the Week, where

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,920
once a week we will dive
deeper into these words that we are

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,560
familiar with in scripture.

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,750
So come along with me, let's
study the Word of the week.

9
00:00:30,670 --> 00:00:33,230
Pastor Josh here with another
Word of the Week.

10
00:00:33,230 --> 00:00:35,670
And actually we're going to be
continuing on with the same word

11
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:38,710
that we've been talking about
now for quite some time, and that

12
00:00:38,710 --> 00:00:40,190
is the word discipleship.

13
00:00:40,590 --> 00:00:44,350
And really what we've been
looking at here in the study is the

14
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:45,950
concept of discipleship.

15
00:00:45,950 --> 00:00:47,310
What is discipleship?

16
00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:51,590
It is the understanding of
following Christ, being committed

17
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:54,650
to Christ, and then showing
others how to do the same.

18
00:00:55,370 --> 00:00:58,170
And so In Matthew, chapter 28,
when we find the Great Commission,

19
00:00:58,250 --> 00:01:04,650
we find the directive of God
to make disciples, teaching them,

20
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:07,050
demonstrating to them what it
means to walk in truth.

21
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:11,210
We know that in 2 Timothy,
chapter 2, verse 2, Paul challenges

22
00:01:11,370 --> 00:01:16,970
Timothy to teach people what
he has been taught from, from Paul

23
00:01:16,970 --> 00:01:21,170
to, to a very clear way so
that they can teach other people,

24
00:01:21,170 --> 00:01:22,410
so that they can teach other people.

25
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:24,090
And that process goes on and on.

26
00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:27,630
Later on second Timothy,
chapter three, Paul explains, I believe

27
00:01:27,630 --> 00:01:31,070
it's in verse 10, the, the
content of that teaching.

28
00:01:31,070 --> 00:01:35,390
And it was basically the
doctrine, yes, but also the lifestyle

29
00:01:35,390 --> 00:01:38,110
and the application of, of the teachings.

30
00:01:38,110 --> 00:01:43,030
And so a part of discipleship
is, yes, teaching facts about Scripture,

31
00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:48,110
but it's also teaching the
application of those facts in Scripture

32
00:01:48,110 --> 00:01:50,390
to the actual life of the Christian.

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,600
Because we can't keep
discipleship in the theoretical.

34
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,120
We have to apply it to real
things that, that are happening to

35
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,880
us in our life.

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,040
And putting feet to the
teaching is essentially the application,

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,880
and it's really the, the core
of everything that we do as Christians

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,040
is, is applying what we
already know in our minds.

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,200
And, and that comes from a
genuine nature of loving God.

40
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,950
Because what we see in the New
Testament is that Jesus says that

41
00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:21,630
if we love him, we will keep
his commandments, we will obey.

42
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:27,190
And so it is fostering or
teaching the understanding of, of

43
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:30,870
loving God with everything,
with all of our heart, soul, mind

44
00:02:30,870 --> 00:02:31,470
and strength.

45
00:02:31,870 --> 00:02:36,910
But it's also teaching people
that loving God is serving God, loving

46
00:02:36,910 --> 00:02:38,150
God is obeying him.

47
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:42,510
Loving God is submitting
ourselves to his will and his way

48
00:02:42,510 --> 00:02:43,150
in our life.

49
00:02:43,610 --> 00:02:46,450
And so we have to, as
Christians, when we're discipling

50
00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:52,810
folks, is to take time to
demonstrate to them the Importance

51
00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:56,970
of not just knowing the truth,
but applying the truth.

52
00:02:57,450 --> 00:03:01,410
But the word I want to talk to
you about in the umbrella of discipleship

53
00:03:01,410 --> 00:03:03,290
today is the word time.

54
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:08,730
Because to properly disciple
someone, to properly lead someone

55
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:13,290
to the truth of God, and to
foster that growth in their life

56
00:03:13,370 --> 00:03:16,170
through the Spirit and through
the Word, it takes time.

57
00:03:16,170 --> 00:03:20,410
And so time management is
important because time is short.

58
00:03:20,890 --> 00:03:25,450
And the Bible says in, in the
Old testament in Psalm 39 that, that

59
00:03:25,450 --> 00:03:26,170
life is short.

60
00:03:26,490 --> 00:03:30,730
Verse Verse 4 of Psalm 39
says, Lord, make me to know mine

61
00:03:30,730 --> 00:03:35,850
end and the measure of my
days, what it is that I may know

62
00:03:35,930 --> 00:03:37,210
how frail I am.

63
00:03:37,370 --> 00:03:41,980
Behold, thou has made my days
as a hand breath, and mine age is

64
00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:43,140
as nothing before thee.

65
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:46,820
Verily, every man at his best
state is altogether vanity.

66
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:50,500
And so what the Bible is
telling us in the Old Testament there

67
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:51,620
is that life is short.

68
00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:52,900
Our time is short.

69
00:03:53,460 --> 00:03:57,220
And so we can either use that
time for the cause of the kingdom,

70
00:03:57,220 --> 00:04:00,900
the cause of the gospel, or we
can use that time for the things

71
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:05,140
that bring us pleasure, that
distract us, that entertain us.

72
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:07,260
We see that in the Old Testament.

73
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:09,100
We also see that teaching in
the New testament.

74
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:12,030
James chapter 4, verse 14, it
says this.

75
00:04:12,030 --> 00:04:15,190
Whereas ye know not what shall
be on the morrow.

76
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:17,430
So you don't know what
tomorrow is going to bring.

77
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:18,710
For what is your life?

78
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:23,270
It is even a vapor that
appeareth for a little time and then

79
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:24,110
vanisheth away.

80
00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:25,910
So life is but a vapor.

81
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:29,350
It's like a little cloud of
smoke that dissipates away.

82
00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:32,030
And so the point of that is this.

83
00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:35,070
We only have a certain amount
of time here on this earth and we

84
00:04:35,070 --> 00:04:36,550
don't even know what that time
is going to be.

85
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,730
We don't know if tomorrow is
going to be guaranteed.

86
00:04:38,730 --> 00:04:43,250
I mean, I hope that all of us
live long, prosperous, healthy lives.

87
00:04:43,250 --> 00:04:46,890
But the truth is is that
that's beyond our understanding of

88
00:04:46,890 --> 00:04:49,330
whether or not that is going
to be happening or not.

89
00:04:50,530 --> 00:04:52,130
Our time on earth is short.

90
00:04:53,010 --> 00:04:58,130
And in comparison to eternity,
it's, it's minute, it's, it's a dot

91
00:04:58,130 --> 00:04:58,930
on the map.

92
00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:02,610
And so what God tells us to do
is to use our time wisely.

93
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:07,170
We know that in the book of
ephesians, Ephesians, chapter 5,

94
00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:09,530
verse 15 says this.

95
00:05:09,530 --> 00:05:12,130
See then that you walk circumspectly.

96
00:05:12,610 --> 00:05:15,330
That idea of walking
circumspectly means to look around,

97
00:05:15,330 --> 00:05:19,250
to notice things around you,
to be aware of the opportunities

98
00:05:19,250 --> 00:05:19,970
that you have.

99
00:05:20,050 --> 00:05:22,210
It says, not as fools, but as wise.

100
00:05:22,210 --> 00:05:25,970
So the foolish thing to do as
a believer is to walk around short

101
00:05:25,970 --> 00:05:30,170
sighted Focused on ourselves,
focused on the material, focused

102
00:05:30,170 --> 00:05:32,940
on the things of this world,
and missing out on the things around

103
00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:33,180
us.

104
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:37,260
And so, in contrast to that,
being wise is to walk circumspectly,

105
00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:40,860
thinking about opportunities,
to point people to Christ, to point

106
00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:44,940
people to the things of
eternal value, and to disciple folks

107
00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:46,380
for the kingdom.

108
00:05:46,940 --> 00:05:51,820
And so walk circumspectly not
as foolish people, but as wise.

109
00:05:51,820 --> 00:05:53,420
And that wisdom comes from God.

110
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:56,420
But then we see verse 16, and
maybe you're familiar with this verse,

111
00:05:56,420 --> 00:05:59,080
it's a commonly quoted verse.

112
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,520
It says, redeeming the time
because the days are evil.

113
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,760
And so that idea of redeeming
is buying back, using, utilizing

114
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,640
the time that we have for the
things of God.

115
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:08,960
Why?

116
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,400
Because the days are evil,
because the days are short, because

117
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,560
we are marred by sin and our
world is marred by sin.

118
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,360
And ultimately the judgment of
God is coming.

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,840
And though we don't know what
that time is, we know that it's getting

120
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:20,280
closer.

121
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,170
And so what does that mean in
the concept of discipleship?

122
00:06:24,570 --> 00:06:27,410
Well, it means this, number
one, we have a limited amount of

123
00:06:27,410 --> 00:06:29,370
time to impact people for the
cause of the gospel.

124
00:06:29,370 --> 00:06:34,090
So get busy, look for
opportunities, and look for those

125
00:06:34,090 --> 00:06:36,410
open doors of discipleship.

126
00:06:36,410 --> 00:06:38,290
Look for those open doors of
the Gospel.

127
00:06:38,290 --> 00:06:42,490
And when those doors are open,
run through them, utilize that, redeem

128
00:06:42,490 --> 00:06:43,130
that time.

129
00:06:43,290 --> 00:06:46,810
Because we know that the days
are evil.

130
00:06:47,610 --> 00:06:52,670
Psalm 90:12, it talks about
numbering our days that, that we

131
00:06:52,670 --> 00:06:55,390
can grow in wisdom and, and
over and over again.

132
00:06:55,390 --> 00:06:59,070
The Bible reminds us to take
note of the time that we have and

133
00:06:59,070 --> 00:07:00,310
not to waste it.

134
00:07:00,950 --> 00:07:05,270
And so you can, you can pick
out passages from the Old Testament

135
00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:06,950
and the New that remind us
about that.

136
00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:11,270
Ecclesiastes, chapter 3, verse
11 says, he hath made everything

137
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:12,950
beautiful in his time.

138
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:16,710
Also he has set the world in
their heart so that no man can find

139
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:19,510
out the work that God maketh
from the beginning to the end.

140
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:24,880
So we ultimately understand
that, that God, our creator, the

141
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,640
one who knows all things, has
created us as eternal beings.

142
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,560
We are going to live for
eternity, whether it be in heaven

143
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,680
with him or obviously in hell,
in, in our rebellion.

144
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,000
But no doubt we have to
understand in our lives that we are

145
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,680
eternal beings.

146
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,830
And so there, there is more at
stake than just the time that we

147
00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:47,830
have here on this earth.

148
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:52,990
But the only time that we have
to invest into that eternity is the

149
00:07:52,990 --> 00:07:54,350
time that we have here on this earth.

150
00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:58,230
And so the, the, the days are
evil, yes, but we know that we have

151
00:07:58,230 --> 00:08:02,109
plenty of opportunities to
serve God and to love God and to

152
00:08:02,109 --> 00:08:05,990
ultimately demonstrate our
obedience to him through making disciples.

153
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:08,790
And so it takes time.

154
00:08:09,590 --> 00:08:13,270
It takes time management, it
takes planning, it takes an opportunity

155
00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:15,110
to be ready to sacrifice our time.

156
00:08:15,790 --> 00:08:18,190
And we're going to talk about
for the next few weeks some things

157
00:08:18,190 --> 00:08:22,910
that we need to give over to
the Lord to best minister to people

158
00:08:22,910 --> 00:08:23,670
in discipleship.

159
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:25,470
And the first thing that we're
going to talk about is our time.

160
00:08:25,470 --> 00:08:30,190
One of the gifts that we can
give to the Lord and also to others

161
00:08:30,270 --> 00:08:31,950
in discipleship is our time.

162
00:08:32,270 --> 00:08:33,470
And our time is valuable.

163
00:08:33,790 --> 00:08:34,390
What is it?

164
00:08:34,390 --> 00:08:34,910
What is it?

165
00:08:34,910 --> 00:08:35,150
The.

166
00:08:35,150 --> 00:08:36,310
The phrase time is money?

167
00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:36,550
We.

168
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:39,950
We know the reason why time is
money is because our time is valuable.

169
00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:42,030
We only have a limited amount
of it.

170
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:44,710
And so are we going to be
willing to say, you know what?

171
00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:47,270
I am going to love a person
enough to give them my time.

172
00:08:47,270 --> 00:08:51,550
And that's sometimes hard,
sometimes very hard, to sacrifice

173
00:08:51,550 --> 00:08:53,670
our time for someone else.

174
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:53,950
Why?

175
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:55,150
Because our time is valuable.

176
00:08:55,150 --> 00:08:57,070
And we think we need to get
these things done.

177
00:08:57,070 --> 00:09:02,190
But when God sets something in
our path for us to use as an opportunity

178
00:09:02,190 --> 00:09:04,710
for discipleship, the Bible
says that we need to invest that.

179
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:10,560
There's a parable in the book
of Matthew, Matthew, chapter 25 talks

180
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:11,760
about the parable of the talents.

181
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,360
And essentially what happens
here is that the.

182
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,640
The Lord the Master gives
these servants a denomination of

183
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,520
money and a certain amount of
money, and they're called to utilize

184
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,120
that in the time that he is away.

185
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:29,800
And when he comes back, the
two servants that invested the time

186
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,400
well and saw that that money
grow, that investment grow, those

187
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,160
are the ones that were called faithful.

188
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,000
Well done now, good and
faithful servant.

189
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,500
And the one who didn't invest
that money, the one who took that

190
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:43,740
money and buried it in the
ground, that was the one that the

191
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:47,660
Lord condemned because of his
lack of investment in the time that

192
00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:48,260
he had.

193
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:52,340
And so the parable of the
talents and all of these other passages

194
00:09:52,340 --> 00:09:57,540
of scripture speak really in a
very clear way about laboring, working

195
00:09:57,540 --> 00:09:59,620
for the Lord faithfully until
he comes back.

196
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,020
We should be diligent.

197
00:10:01,020 --> 00:10:04,410
We should use the time that
God has allowed for us to.

198
00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:07,370
To serve not ourselves, but to
serve him.

199
00:10:07,370 --> 00:10:10,970
Matthew chapter six speaks
about where our heart is.

200
00:10:11,050 --> 00:10:14,370
Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth.

201
00:10:14,370 --> 00:10:15,770
This is Matthew 6, verse 19.

202
00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:19,610
Where moth and rust do
corrupt, and where thieves break

203
00:10:19,610 --> 00:10:20,370
through and steal.

204
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:24,170
But lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither

205
00:10:24,170 --> 00:10:27,610
moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through

206
00:10:27,770 --> 00:10:28,730
nor steal.

207
00:10:29,540 --> 00:10:32,540
And so the Bible speaks very
clearly there about this idea that

208
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:33,580
what are we going to invest in?

209
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:36,860
Are we going to invest in the
things that we have here on this

210
00:10:36,860 --> 00:10:39,580
earth that we hold so tightly
to, are we going to invest into the

211
00:10:39,580 --> 00:10:41,500
things of eternal value?

212
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:46,020
And that is the gospel of
Jesus Christ that is impacting others

213
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:50,180
for, for him in the name of
the truth of God.

214
00:10:50,260 --> 00:10:54,100
And then in Matthew 6:21, it
says, for where your treasure is,

215
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,020
there will your heart be also.

216
00:10:56,950 --> 00:10:59,110
So whatever you treasure,
that's where your heart's going to

217
00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:59,350
be.

218
00:10:59,670 --> 00:11:03,110
So if you treasure the Gospel,
your heart's going to be in the gospel.

219
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:07,030
If you treasure discipleship,
your heart will be in discipleship.

220
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:11,230
If you treasure the importance
of reaching people for Christ, your

221
00:11:11,230 --> 00:11:13,190
heart is going to be there
reaching people for Christ.

222
00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:18,310
And so may our hearts be set
towards the things of God so that

223
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:20,630
our investments are set into
the things of God.

224
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:22,670
And we're not just talking
about financial investments, even

225
00:11:22,670 --> 00:11:26,580
though that could be the case
in this case, we're talking about

226
00:11:26,580 --> 00:11:30,420
our time we're going to get
later on to other elements of, of

227
00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:30,860
our lives.

228
00:11:30,860 --> 00:11:35,860
But at this point in time,
we're looking at the, the importance

229
00:11:35,860 --> 00:11:38,940
of investing our time,
sacrificing our time for others,

230
00:11:38,940 --> 00:11:42,020
and sometimes ministering to
people in discipleship does take

231
00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:46,740
a lot of time and it can get
somewhat frustrating because of the

232
00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:47,900
fact that, hey, you know what?

233
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:52,480
I taught that person something
before and yet they haven't gotten

234
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:52,600
it.

235
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,440
We gotta go back.

236
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,560
But that time is valuable
because it's truly that time that

237
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,000
is needed to see people come
to Christ and follow Christ.

238
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,800
And so may we set our
affections on the things above things

239
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,040
of the Lord and set our time
on the things of God and be able

240
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,880
to walk circumspectly looking
for those opportunities to redeem

241
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,480
the time or utilize the time
for the cause of the Gospel to those

242
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:13,880
around us.

243
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:19,130
And so discipleship takes
time, discipleship takes sacrifice.

244
00:12:19,450 --> 00:12:25,690
Discipleship in, in many ways
can be, can be a wearisome process

245
00:12:26,570 --> 00:12:31,290
because our bodies get weary
in serving, our bodies get weary

246
00:12:31,769 --> 00:12:32,610
in well doing.

247
00:12:32,610 --> 00:12:35,770
But the Bible says In
Galatians, chapter 6, verse 9, don't

248
00:12:35,770 --> 00:12:40,530
get weary and well doing,
because in due season we will reap

249
00:12:40,530 --> 00:12:41,050
if we faint.

250
00:12:41,050 --> 00:12:41,290
Not.

251
00:12:41,780 --> 00:12:43,300
So think about that today.

252
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:45,580
Think about where you're
investing your time is.

253
00:12:45,580 --> 00:12:48,020
Is our time being spent in the
things of God?

254
00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:51,940
Is our time being set in the
things of our own desires?

255
00:12:52,420 --> 00:12:55,340
And if our desires align with
God's desires, that's fantastic.

256
00:12:55,340 --> 00:12:58,300
But the problem is sometimes
that our desires will contradict

257
00:12:58,300 --> 00:12:58,980
the things of God.

258
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:01,020
And therefore we must die to ourselves.

259
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:02,540
We must die to our flesh.

260
00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:07,020
We must die to the things of
this world and submit ourselves to

261
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:09,140
the work of the Lord in discipleship.

262
00:13:09,140 --> 00:13:12,730
So may we be disciples today,
following Christ to the best of our

263
00:13:12,730 --> 00:13:13,090
ability.

264
00:13:13,730 --> 00:13:16,010
Well, we thank you for
listening to this podcast.

265
00:13:16,010 --> 00:13:18,810
We're going to continue on
with this series of the Word of the

266
00:13:18,810 --> 00:13:22,330
Week next week with another
thought on discipleship.

267
00:13:22,330 --> 00:13:24,890
And when we get done with
that, we will continue on talking

268
00:13:24,890 --> 00:13:27,890
about different things,
different elements within Scripture

269
00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:31,810
that can help us understand
what it means to follow Christ truly

270
00:13:31,810 --> 00:13:33,090
in accordance to His Word.

271
00:13:33,170 --> 00:13:34,130
