Change Your Habits, Change Your Life

We don’t always see the potential in small beginnings, but God does. In Zechariah 4:10, the Bible tells us not to despise small beginnings because the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. In this message, you’ll learn how to begin creating habits that will change your life.
In Pastor Craig’s new book, The Power to Change, you’ll learn highly practical, biblical, and doable strategies so you can get out of the cycle of trying and transform your life.
Get the book: go2.lc/getthepower
ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
Few things in life are more frustrating than knowing you need to change, trying to change, but not actually changing. It’s possible to find The Power to Change so you can start living the life you want.

I let Jesus in my life two years ago. Since then I changed my habits step by step. I quit social media, I eat healthier and no Softdrinks for me anymore. I stoped watching adault stuff on the Internet and read my Bibel very often. There is no day without praying and it helps me to grow and become a better Christian.

Everyday is a new day for transformation. Every night is a new day for restoration. . It’s beautiful how he can love us in our sin as sinners and tells us to come as we are. If you truly study the Bible in the areas of your weaknesses and ask God to show him what we need help with he can ad he’s the only one who truly can transform and restore you. Even if it’s just a little bit everyday.
