Breaking Bad Habits - Colossians 3:1-15 - Skip Heitzig

Published 2021-06-14
Bad habits are like weeds: they grow without effort and it’s hard to get rid of them! Most people excuse their bad habits as idiosyncrasies or "just being human." But stubborn habits have a way of mastering us if we won’t master them first. We all know the cycle of enjoying a forbidden pleasure, feeling guilty, repenting, enjoying a few moments of victory, and then failing again. Today, let’s explore how we can do better than taking one step forward and two steps back.

This teaching is from the series Now Streaming with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

  • Way to go Skip! That dog thing at the end was it! What a fantastic picture to leave us with. It's like that old song "Keep your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of his Glory and Grace"

    Praise God I managed to give up smoking.Went cold Turkey. If your having problems start hating your sin. Fear the Lord. spend time in prayer and worship.
  • I'm really bad at culture. I had no idea, have never seen the show, that it was based in NM, but good job taking it on. I needed to hear the message. Even though I've never seen the show I understand the just of it and used to be very loud and clear in my life. And cleaning up the wreckage of that life, I needed this. Thank you!

    Been struggling with pornography since I was in elementary. Now in medical school, I still fail many times in this bad habit. Thanks for this encouraging exhortation, Pastor Skip. Much love from the Philippines

  • I stopped smoking after becoming a Christian. I was 13 yrs old in a CA boys home and a loving Christian... who was our house-parent smoked and i asked her Why and She said, God is working on me about this. 25 yrs later I started smoking in Iraq while living out in town and running out of ammo in a firefight. ha ha... we just never know What a man or woman has been through. we can see the obvious. I'm much more understanding about this particular health topic / habit.
