Some people feel trapped in their destructive habits like a prison. Even as new creatures in Jesus Christ, we sometimes still develop a sinful habit. In this message, Pastor Lutzer provides three reasons why that is. Those chains as part of a great spiritual war in which all of us are called to do battle.
It’s one thing to resolve to break a bad habit. But what works a lot better is to resolve to develop a good habit. In this message from Matthew 4, Pastor Lutzer gives us five observations from Jesus’ temptation to help us in warfare. Meditating on Scripture is the key to overcoming bad habits.

Breaking stubborn and sinful habits is hard. We may have victory for a few days or weeks, but that’s when Satan will strike. In this message, Pastor Lutzer challenges us to accept the fact we’ll be tempted. In Christ, we have a whole new life with godly habits that can fill the vacuum of our former bondage to bad habits.
It takes time to develop bad habits. And it also takes time to get rid of them. In this message from Genesis 3, Pastor Lutzer gives us three beliefs we need to become candidates for deliverance. Because of the victory of the risen Savior, we can break the power of our sinful habits and slavery to the devil.
All of us have bad habits we need to lose, whether habitual lying, addictions to substances or sex, or persistent moral failures. But what we lack is the means to break the cycles of bondage that hold us prisoners. In this message, Pastor Lutzer reveals two crucial reasons why God allows temptations in our lives. God is, after all, in the business of deliverance.
Some people try to explain away or excuse their bad habits. But the Apostle Paul calls our bad habits “footholds for the devil.” In this message from James 4, Pastor Lutzer shows five habits of how God changes a person. Let’s resolve to submit to God—and resist the devil as well.
