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. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions…” According to this passage, what role does grace play in our ability to change? How is God’s grace different from “trying harder” on our own?
- Digging Deeper – How would you define real repentance after today’s message? In what areas of your life have you been trying to modify behavior without changing your thinking?
- Personal Reflection: Is there a habit you need to break or replace right now? (You don’t have to share specifics unless you’re comfortable.) What’s one “cue” (place, time, mood, moment, or people) that triggers that habit? Which practical step—Remove the Cue, Interrupt the Action, Replace the Routine—would be most helpful for you to focus on this week?
- What is one small habit that you can start today?
