The Greatest Gift- 5. Word Of The Year

Why do New Year’s resolutions fail every year? It’s not a lack of effort—it’s a misunderstanding of how change actually works. In this message, we explore why real transformation isn’t about willpower, but habit formation—the small, repeated rhythms that shape who we become. Grounded in Moses’ final words in Deuteronomy 30, we discover that God’s invitation to grow isn’t distant or overwhelming—it’s near, daily, and doable. You’ll hear why most attempts at change don’t stick, and learn two simple practices that do: picking a theme and building a team. This sermon closes The Greatest Gift series by reminding us that Jesus didn’t come just to be admired for a season, but followed for a lifetime.
