When Edwina came upon the phrase redeeming the time (redeeming the time should be italicized but I don't know how to make it italicize on email) in Ephesians 5:16, the Lord spoke to her heart and impressed upon her the importance of buying back wasted opportunities in her life. Researching this concept in Scripture, God revealed to her the principles of this study.

The Redeeming The Time study examines what it means to buy back the past and focus on the future. Participants will study the Scriptures themselves and begin a personal journey in making the most of the time God has given them.

Purpose of This Course:
The purpose of this course is to assist you in beginning the process of redeeming the time in your life. God has a plan and a purpose for each day of your life. He gives clear, personal instructions that enable you to live daily the abundant life He has planned for you. As you study this course, you will be encourage to listen carefully to what God says to your heart.

How the Study Works:
The format is simple. The goal is for you to be attentive so that you may hear God speaking to your heart through the Bible, prayer, and circumstances. Principles of redeeming the time will be presented in the nine-week study. Each week there are five lessons to be done, one per day. Each lesson should take 20-30 minutes. The purpose of this course is not that you gain more head knowledge but that God will speak to your heart, encouraging you to make the most of the opportunities He gives you each day.

There is a Scripture memory verse each week. It is our prayer that these nine passages become part of your mind and heart. Nine memorized verses applied to your life are more valuable than all the pages in this study. You are hiding God's Word in your heart. At the end of each day you will have the opportunity to prayerfully consider the most significant thought
for you that day and record your answer. Meditate on each question and answer it honestly. Doing so will teach you to journal.

You will be encouraged to implement the answers to your daily walk.

After you've enrolled, you will gain access to the Bible study videos. You may proceed at your own pace. When you've finished a week's study, simply click on the appropriate week's video. The video is intended to enhance the study experience and encourage you as you begin the exciting adventure in redeeming the time in your life.

We will be praying for you as you participate in this study.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Before you begin each day's lessons, we suggest that you take a moment to kneel and ask the Lord to cover your mind with the blood of Jesus Christ. Ask Him to remove any preconceived ideas from your mind and to be your teacher during your study. Ask Him to examine your heart and cleanse you from any known or unknown sin. Then confidently begin your study, expecting the Lord to reveal Himself to you during your time with Him.

You may participate in this study through a small group, individually, or online. If you choose to participate online, you must enroll for the study. Then you will be able to view each session's video and advance at your own page.
