Encounter Community Church

You wake up in the morning, get the kids dressed, run them to school, head to work, pick up the kids from school, do homework, take the kids to practice, get them home to clean up and go to bed, and relax for the night. Then, the alarm goes off and tomorrow is the same thing, and the next day, and the next day. The greatest barrier to being a great neighbor is...TIME. This week, we talk about choosing better over good and the impact it can make on our lives.

January 1st hits and we suddenly change our eating habits, start going to gym, start reading our Bibles, start reading a book a month and by January 3rd, we have stopped it all. Many of us blame the resolution or our lack of ability to follow through. What if there were a way you can actually build into the change that you want? This week, we talk about the power of starting small and building momentum into the change that you want to make.

It’s that time of the year. The gyms are full. People are signing up for Weight Watchers. Cigarette packs are being thrown out. How many of us have done this before? Can 2020 be different? The answer is a resounding, “Yes!” Maybe that new bod can become reality!
