I Choose – Week 3 | Discipline over Regret

Weeks of good intentions that dissolve into the same pattern: promising to change, giving in to the easy choice, and lying awake with regret. This sermon tackles that familiar tug-of-war—why willpower and guilt never seem enough, and why both "control yourself" and "express yourself" approaches leave you exhausted and scattered. Instead of quick fixes, the message reframes discipline as a single, ordering love—a controlling passion that unites mind, heart, and habits like an athlete training for a prize. Listen for the surprising shift from self-mastery as sheer effort to self-giving rooted in a love that compels you. Practical rhythms follow: soaking in scripture, letting struggles reveal what needs reshaping, and doing life in community so discipline grows, not by force, but by being captivated. Hear how one ultimate love can quietly rearrange daily choices and turn regret into steady, intentional living.
