HELP I HAVE BAD HABITS | HABITS THAT ECHO (CLASS 4)

Main message: Time is a gift from God and must be stewarded intentionally; developing habits around how you use time will shape who you become, what you build, and how you bless others. The preacher urges a practical one-week audit of time and committing to spend time becoming, building, and blessing.

Key points:

• God exists outside time, created time, and placed us in it so we can live on God’s appointed schedule; time gives hope and perspective.
• Biblical reminder of human brevity: James 4:14 ("you are a mist") and Psalms 90 ("teach us to number our days") call for wise use of limited time.
• Spend your time becoming—cultivate character (fruit of the Spirit) intentionally rather than leaving growth to chance.
• Spend your time building—invest in things that last and matter (relationships, gifts, kingdom-oriented work) rather than only temporal achievements.
• Spend your time being a blessing—serve and give to others; small, intentional acts of blessing change perspective and life.
• Practical action: audit one week of your time and ask if your activities help you become, build, and bless.
