Catalysts Week 3: Better Habits (Steve Fenning)

Forge Church Catchup

At every stage of physical and spiritual growth, we engage in activities that contribute to our development. Some activities are catalysts; significant predictors for forwards movement in our journey of life and faith. So what are the four key catalysts that move us from being ‘stuck’ in life to taking a next step? Our day-to-day consists of habits stacked on top of one another. Some habits build us up, and others chip away at us. Our attention is often monopolised by addictive habits and behaviours that don’t truly reflect what we value most. With effort and practice, we can master habits for the better. When we commit to practising habits that are aligned with what matters most to us, we establish patterns in our lives that don’t just shape our days, but shape our character. Better habits mean we’re better equipped to face life with our souls intact, our mind sharp, and our body strong. Jesus leads the way to new habits that get us in sync with who God calls us to be. He knew it mattered, because ‘you can’t put new wine into old wineskins.’ In other words, you can’t embrace a new way of being whilst trying to live out of your old rhythms, routines, practices and behaviours. You need new habits for a new life. WE HELP PEOPLE FIND & FOLLOW JESUS. We know that life is tough; now more than ever. We’re sure you’ve got questions and uncertainties, but we believe Jesus can make difference, that faith can bring hope; even in these times and that the Church should be light in the darkness. We’re embracing this new all-digital landscape and can’t wait to interact with you online. We will ensure you receive a warm welcome whether you tune in every Sunday, or if church is new/unfamiliar territory for you. We love that you are able to be part of our community from the comfort of your own home. Feel free to interact through the week on social media, or stream LIVE online on Sunday morning! https://www.forgechurch.com/ / forgechurchuk / forgechurchuk / forgechurch
