Big Idea: Your smart watch can’t make time.

I.  Don’t abuse it. 

James 4:13-16

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring—what your life will be! For you are like vapor that appears for a little while, then vanishes. Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

II.   Don’t miss it. 

Psalm 39:4-5

“LORD, make me aware of my end and the number of my days so that I will know how short-lived I am. In fact, you have made my days just inches long, and my life span is as nothing to you. Yes, every human being stands as only a vapor.

III.    Don’t waste it.

Colossians 4:5

Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.

Next Steps:

• Believe: I surrender everything to Jesus today.
• Become: I will give Jesus full control over my schedule this week.
• Be Sent: I will spend time growing his kingdom this week.

Discussion Questions: 

1. When you look at your weekly schedule, what does it say about your priorities?
2. In what ways do you see evidence that you are (or are not) honoring God with your time?
3. What are the “non‑negotiables” on your calendar right now? Which of these clearly honors God?
4. How do you typically decide what makes it onto your schedule?
5. Where do you see patterns of overcommitment, hurry, or burnout in your life?
6. In what practical ways can you build intentional space into your schedule to worship Jesus and grow his kingdom? What small change could you make this week to move in that direction?
7. Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you prioritize building God’s kingdom this week.
