My life was so meaningless I searched for anything that would give me a purpose

Drinking made me feel better that only led to more bad decisions, and it cost me more than I ever imagined

But someone saw more than I did

My friend took me to church one day and changed me

I'm permanently large. I am now changed forever

Christ

Hey, welcome today to all of our life churches and all of our network churches and those of you joining us from all over the world at

church online

We're starting a brand new three-week series called new today

I'd like to ask all of you at all of our different churches

How many of you at some point in your life or another you've been

dissatisfied with your behavior you don't like the way you acted you're

Occasionally dissatisfied with yourself raise your hands hands going up at all of our different churches

I don't know about you. Maybe you find yourself yelling at your kids

Sometimes when you shouldn't do that you find yourself being

impatient with the people that you love

Maybe you can be a bit overly critical

But yet you look at your life and say hey, I'm trying to be a follower of Christ and be a

Faithful Christian and yet sometimes I do things that aren't very Christ-like for example at my house

Just a couple of days ago two of my kids got into a spat everybody say spat

That ever happened at your house your kids getting a spat it happened at our house one kid

Raised her voice at the other the other raise her voice back another kid jumped into defend the first one
