The Key To Breaking Unhealthy Cycles / Cycle Breaker / Week 4

What happens when you thought you broke a cycle, but it seems to keep creeping back into your life?  Does that mean you're a failure? Is your cycle just impossible to break? When this happens, our default reaction is to hide it and to pretend like it never happened. But what if the thing you're most afraid of is the key to breaking your cycle for good? In this sermon, Pastor Ken Knott shares what the Bible says is the key ingredient to breaking a cycle and how just because you might have messed up, doesn't mean God is done writing your story.

Saying No To Destructive Cycles / Cycle Breaker / Week 3

Many of us are exhausted, feeling trapped in the same destructive cycles we've always struggled with. The problem isn't that these cycles of dysfunction can't be broken, but that we are unsure of how to stop these bad habits. If we want to take a stand against these patterns of behavior and beliefs that no longer serve us, we need to start making different decisions. In this video, Pastor Sean Sears, shares a biblical perspective on what courageous choices we need to make to pull ourselves away from these destructive cycles and become the person God created you to be.

Breaking Unhealthy Cycles / Cycle Breaker / Week 1

Have you ever noticed you do things like your Mom or Dad? Or maybe you have Grandpa's sense of humor or Grandma's wit? In every family, patterns are passed down, some are good...some are not so good. But when these negative patterns wreak havoc on our lives, we are left to wonder, "Am I doomed to repeat them?" In this sermon, Pastor Robb talks about why we struggle with these negative cycles, how we can choose to be the one to stop them, how God can begin a process of healing in our lives, and how we can find the strength to begin writing a new story with our lives. 

Speaker: Pastor Robb Hollifield
