Hurts, Habits, Hang-Ups – Breaking Bad Habits

Breaking Bad Habits Why are good habits hard to build—and bad ones hard to break? Real change doesn’t come from trying harder but thinking differently. In this message, we unpack how repentance means seeing life through the lens of God’s truth, not just feeling sorry.  We’ll explore how grace transforms us from the inside out, why movement without mindset leads us back to old patterns, and how to break bad habits for good. You can fight battles tomorrow—or win the war today.  Titus 2:11-12 Discussion topics Icebreaker - What's one small habit (good or bad) that you know affects your day more than it should?  Titus 2:11–12 - “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
