Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

But we don't really even need to mention it, but the microbes one yesterday.

Sorry that your husky fat.

One thing we can agree on is the Ducks lost.

So.

No Bruiser, I don't know Ducks, man.

There's a few, I guess it's all right, we'll leave Sports out of this.

If it's too divisive.

I'm glad that you're here.

Today.

We're going to continue our series recent happiness, and that I've Loved walking through these Beatitudes.

I've loved to have been able to just study some of these a little bit deeper to challenge us on patch Rob, to be back next week to bring the attitude.

Number 3. I'm not going to jump into the Beatitudes today.

I'm going to be bringing a message that it's really a part of the overall scope of this fall series called a 60-day spiritual growth.

So if you have your book, The the next to the attitude will be covered next week.

My notes are in that book, maybe use a front cover, the back cover, take your notes somewhere else, but the weird it at a taco ways that we can grow spiritually.

And I have absolutely loved seeing how many people have grab that book and a really begun began to just dig into the Beatitudes taking notes.

I'm going to class is having discussions.

I just I sense it.

There's a real hunger fnbca for spiritual growth.

We need it.

And then And I would appreciate, I want you to know that I appreciate each and everyone of you forever for tuning in either online or here and watching it weird to talk about some basic principles of spiritual growth.

And and when I say basic, this is kind of at the really, really basic stuff, but stuff we need to be reminded of or talk about habits where to talk about spiritual Keystone habits that we need to get into what I have a message today and then a couple in November.

And I'm just going to talk about seven different habits that we can bring in, to our lives, to help us grow.

I have it.

Is this is the definition of weather.

We all know what to have it is, but this definition just taught me.

It's a routine or practice performed regularly, an automatic response to a situation.

That's the part that I underline.

When I read that are automatic response to the situation, other than other ways we can call this is that you do not only a habit, but a, a system or a routine.

How many people are routine, people?

Everybody raise your hand, cuz we all have a routine.

I am a man of routine so much so that if you throw me off of my routine, it wrecks, my day.

Anybody with me, like my routine.

My alarm goes off at 5. I get up.

I grab my coffee in my Bible.

I do my devotions, and then when I get ready, before I get ready at every day, I make the bed is what I do.

And then I shower and get ready.

And I don't know if something happens to throw off my morning routine.

The rest of my day is shot.

Right?

Like if I sleep in or Aura at forget to make the bed, I don't have it, but I happen to not make the bed everything.

The rest of the morning is just, it seems to be sped up.

I seem to worry and stress and I'm heading to work.

And then I speed and in the state patrol tries to pull me over at that moment of panic and I go faster and then the state patrol pulls me over later and I mouth off and then eventually Pastor Adam in prison.

So I exaggerated a little bit.

I've not been to prison.

But yeah, that's right.

But sometimes it feels that way if you're a person of routine, right, your routine gets thrown off and my stuff that is normally do just, and this is what I want to talk about these habits.

Did you know about half of your waking hours are spent doing automatic behaviors?

Without thinking things that you do.

You walk through life, you happen to do them much of what you do every single day is not a result of a singular decision, but a result of a habit.

Think about that phrase.

Much of what you do, everyday?

Is without thinking.

Now that can be an awesome and amazing thing.

Or it can be a little bit scary.

Cuz we all have these routines, we all do these things without thinking, there's a a book called Atomic Habits by James clear.

And he talks about how we all have these goals.

But we really need to be working on is our habits and he says this, you don't rise to the levels of your goals, but you fall to the level of your systems or your routine.

We need to interact with that level of our, a personality, our everyday actions without thinking, we need to interact with that level.

To create the spiritual changed, the 60 days, or spiritual growth that we need to see.

We need to understand that every day without thinking activities are having an impact on your life.

We to think about that big.

Why?

Why is this?

Because simple answer God created it that way.

This is interesting in your brain.

Only takes about two percent of your body mass.

But 25% of the oxygen, you inhale, for energy.

Your brain is a constantly at work.

And what habits do is it helps your brain to rest and I read the study and I know this probably boring to most of you, but what they did is they hooked up a little mouse to brain brain waves scanner and and they put this little mouse little mouse.

I'm a tad amazed and ran it through the first time all the brain waves starting to go crazy, what's going on.

And the more times they put this mouse through the Maze and he begin to learn and buy habit, take, right, left to get to that little piece of chocolate.

Look, what happens on the right side with the Habit routine and how the brain works?

See your body wants to get to a place where it's not working as hard all the time.

So you have that Reserve energy when you need it.

This is the way our brains work.

It's that Power of Habit.

One more book that I mentioned and I know I won't bore you with these books, but for the Power of Habit, I'd recommend this one by Charles duhigg.

He mentions the Keystone habits.

These are habits that affect everything else in your day.

These are habits.

We need to focus on a keystone is like a stone archway.

You have all these other archways in the one in the middle effects and holds together.

Everything else.

If we can find the Keystone for the spiritual Keystone habits, in our lives.

It will affect the rest of our days, positively at Keystone have.

It would be like, I have an exercise or running.

When you, when you make that decision in your day.

It makes you want to make better decisions the rest of your day.

That's just an example.

Maybe you're not a runner and you say I don't want to ever run, but there are decisions that we make habits.

We need to build.

That will positively impact, ripple effect, the rest of your day.

And I want to spend a little bit of time this morning looking about looking at some spiritual Keystone habits.

And how they're going to affect us, but I want you.

I want you to know this.

These idea ideas, spiritual Keystone habits is in scripture and let me show you.

The Book of Daniel, if you have your bible to read Daniel chapter 6, most of you have heard about Daniela.

It when I mention the name Daniel in the Bible, you think of Daniel in the Lion's Den.
