This Sunday Is Online Only π₯ Your Calendar Is Preaching a Sermon You Won't Like
|
Happy Thursday, Mars Hill Family, Last Sunday, I said something that made some of you uncomfortable: Your calendar is preaching a sermon your mouth does not agree with. You say God is first. Your schedule says He's an afterthought. You say family matters. Your calendar says they get leftovers. You say rest is important. Your time says you may be lying. This week, we're fixing that. Overview of Sunday's Message: Your Calendar Is Lying to YouBig Idea: Time is proof of your priorities. When you let God reorder your time, you move from constant hurry to intentional, peaceful progress. Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-16 Key Takeaways: β΅ Your calendar is preaching a sermon your mouth does not agree with. Your time never lies. It records what you actually did, not what you meant to do. βΆ Wise living is not about managing time. It's about redeeming it. You cannot build a life of meaning with leftover minutes. Stop giving God your leftovers. β· The way you schedule your time reveals what you actually worship. Fools fill their time. Wise people steward their time. Your calendar either proves or exposes your priorities. This Week's Practice: Time-block your next seven days. Put God, rest, and your top priorities on the calendar FIRST. Then fit everything else around them. π₯ Watch The Replay ββ
This Sunday: NEW SERIES LAUNCHA FEATURE, NOT A BUG: The Deliberate Design of American Inequality For Black History Month, we're launching a 4-week series that goes beyond the surface. These crises aren't accidents. They're features, not bugs, the predictable result of choices made to protect racial hierarchy over shared prosperity. Week 1 (Feb 1): The Color of Care How healthcare segregation created today's Medicaid crisis. We're tracing the line from blocked universal healthcare to Southern states refusing Medicaid expansion today. Same political logic: racial hierarchy matters more than poor people's health. Core Scripture: Amos 5:24 (NLT) β "Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living."

New year. Same problems. Same habits. Same results. The issue is not your plan. It's your mindset. Motivation fades. Mindsets stick. And you cannot outwork broken thinking. In this 15-minute episode, I break down why patterns persist, why motivation will not save you, and the daily replacement practice that actually rewires your brain. This year does not have to be a repeat. But only if you stop blaming circumstances and start changing the mental software you've been running. βListen Now ββ Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever you listen. ποΈ AnnouncementsHereβs What You Need to Know This Week:Youβre Invited: In-Person Worship at Mars Hill AnywhereDate: Sunday, February 15, 2026β Weβre gathering this Sunday, and youβve got two ways to be part of it: β Pull up and join us in person at our McCook campus β Log on and worship with us live online from wherever you are However you show up, donβt miss this moment.
