Abstract - Today it is all about time management.  We have to hurry to get everything done.  In this message Pastor Don points out that the only thing we can do with time is "spend it".  Once gone we can not get it back, it is gone for ever.  So to that end we need to spend it wisely.  Pastor Don shows us that Jesus provide a great example of how to spend time, and he goes on to identify several ways to spend time in a productive Christian way.  Are you ready to enrich your life by enriching you time spent?
