Summary
Paul instructs Timothy that godliness requires daily habitual discipline, not mystical experience. The sermon teaches four foundational spiritual habits—Bible reading and prayer, meaningful conversation, silence, and limiting technology—to grow in godliness throughout 2026.
Highlights
You won't rise to the level of your dreams for godliness. You'll fall to the level of your spiritual habits.
There is no such thing as microwave holiness. Godliness if we were to put a warning label on it would say: warning, no godliness without effort.
You are not redeemed by your Bible reading. You're redeemed by Christ's perfect life. These aren't things that earn us grace; they're things that flow from grace.
