WHY CAN’T I STOP?
WHY CAN’T I STOP?
Why Can’t I Change?
You’re focusing on the poison of religion and forgetting the power of grace.
Religion is our attempt to earn God’s approval by following all the rules.
charis: the unmerited goodwill and favor of God
The grace that saves you is also the grace that sustains you.
How Does God’s Grace Change Us?
The focus of religion is outward.
The power of grace is inward.
• Religion says, “Try harder.”
• Grace says, “Trust more.”
• Grace says, “Trust more.”
Asking for help is never a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of wisdom.
You’re trying to meet a need or relieve a hurt with something besides God’s grace.
DO YOU NEED PRAYER?
...The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Luke 18:27 We would love an opportunity to pray for you. Please click on the link below and submit your prayer request.

• What is your thought process like when you’re trying to break a bad habit? How could you focus less on the outward and more on the inward power of grace?• Read 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. Where might you need to rely on God’s power more than yours?• You are only as strong as you are honest. Talk about a habit in your life that you’d like to change. How can your LifeGroup support you?• Start the Ever Wonder Why? Bible Plan using Plans With Friends: www.go2.lc/everwonderwhy
