From Evening to Morning

Verde Valley Christian Church
Jan 28 – Feb 3, 2024

Sermon Title: You In 5 Years - Part 4: From Evening to Morning
Speaker: Jim Hammond


1 When are we going to find time to make life changing disciplined habits possible?

2 To insert a new habit you need to establish a "habit cycle" that includes three things: a cue, a routine, and a reward.

3 Successful people do consistently what others do occasionally. 

4 Keystone Habits effect your success in all other habits. 

Genesis 1:2-5
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

When are we going to find time to make changes? During our discretionary time "from evening to morning"!


I. Make the most of your DISCRETIONARY time

II. Get SLEEP

"Studies have conclusively linked sleeplessness to irritability, anger, depression, and mental exhaustion."

-Sara Mednick, professor of psychology


2 Cor 11:27


⚡️Electricity ⚡️ affects our lives poorly!


III. Then go DEEP

If you don’t get SLEEP, you won’t go DEEP!

Proverbs 2:1-5
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
