Part III

In Part 3 of our Be Generous series, Pastor Mike Coker reminds us that one of the greatest gifts God has given us to steward is time. We don’t just give through resources — we give through presence, compassion, service, and intentional time invested in others.

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3, we are reminded that there is a season for everything — a rhythm to life ordained by God. Every day we are given is a gift, not a burden, and we are called to use our time for God’s glory rather than waste it on idle pursuits .

Pastor Mike challenges us to:

• Recognize time as precious — life is short, and every moment matters.

• Invest time wisely — we will give an account for how we spend our days.

• Choose intentionally — prioritize worship, spiritual growth, prayer, and community.

• Serve and love intentionally — like the friends who carried the paralytic to Jesus and the Good Samaritan who stopped to show compassion, we are called to give our time to lift others up .

• True generosity isn’t just what we give — it’s how we live. When we invest time in people, in God's presence, and in serving others, we reflect the heart of Jesus and make an eternal impact.
