This week, Pastor Josh continues our series "I Might Have a Problem" by tackling our overloaded schedules. With only 168 hours each week, how we spend our time reveals what we value most. Using the illustration of rocks, pebbles, and sand, Pastor Josh encourages us to prioritize what matters most—loving God, others, and ourselves—with eternity in mind.

With The Ridge Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9a and 11a, and our gatherings are available on demand starting at 2p! Join us at https://theridge.church/messages

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. When it comes to your time for God—this essential “big rock”—what helps you stay consistent, and what tends to get pushed aside? How have practices like daily Bible reading (2 Timothy 3:16-17), prayer (Philippians 4:6-7), and worship gatherings (Hebrews 10:24-25) helped you love God as Jesus described in the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:34-40)?

2. As we consider “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39), who in your life—family, friend, or neighbor—might be a “big rock” relationship that needs more of your intentional time and presence? What could that look like this coming week?

3. How are you doing at lovingly caring for yourself—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—as an essential “big rock” that helps you live an abundant life and remain available for God’s work?

4. What’s one “big rock” God may be prompting you to put—or put back—into your weekly rhythm this week? Are there any “pebbles” or “sand” that could go? What’s one small change you can make to help that happen?

5. Close in prayer, asking God to help you “spend your time with eternity in mind.”
