It’s through the power of the Holy Spirit that we are able to break the patterns of the world that we have lived by for so long. Now, through Jesus, we can be transformed. This transformation takes place through a renewal in our minds. As a result, we begin to live by new patterns. Holy patterns. Holy habits.


Main Points:

1. In today’s culture, we sometimes talk about habits in a negative connotation. We’ll say, I’m struggling to break some bad habits.” But what if you could form some new habits? What if you and I developed some holy habits? What if we created some habits that helped us grow spiritually?

2. In addition to the habit of prayer, what if we developed the habit of reading God’s Word each day? What if we made time to worship each day? What could happen in our lives if we reconnected with being a part of a church each weekend? There are many wonderful habits you could create that would deepen your walk with God and enable you to be a blessing to others.

3. Imagine starting the habit of encouraging someone every day? Or, creating the habit of regularly using your gifts, talents, and time in a ministry? You could develop the habit of tithing to support your church or even giving above the tithe, to support missionaries who are sharing the gospel message.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Romans 12:2  - “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
