Why is it so easy to slip back into old patterns once the first excitement of faith fades? This message turns to Colossians (Colossians 3) and shows that lasting change begins not with tidying up the outside, but with a changed mind and learning to see yourself the way the Father sees you. It also raises an uncomfortable question about our own part: what the Holy Spirit does in us, and what He will not do instead of us. Listen, if you are tired of changes that never last longer than a few weeks.
