“Be
transformed . . . ” Romans
12:1
On
January 4 I will begin an eight week Message Series titled, “Go Beneath the
Surface and Transform your Life”. This
might sound like a self-help series, but it’s not.
The single goal of the series is to help you to encounter Jesus Christ in
a deeper way than ever before.
It’s
often been true of me that I’ve tried to do better with God in obedience, love
and service, only to fail, try harder, fail, try harder and finally to end up
simply discouraged. The
Christian Life is meant to be different from that.
It’s meant to start with the practice of encountering God in a way that
His Grace touches the deepest parts of me and actually transforms them from
things like deep seated anger or sadness into places that are touched and
changed by God himself.
It
has been said that we find out what is really inside of when someone jostles our
elbow. This series is meant to take
us into a process where we discover that God has actually put something new into
us that, when the elbow is jostled or I’m cut off in traffic, something
surprising and new comes out, something of the Spirit of God.
The goal is for this new thing that God wants to do in us will transform
not just us, but our relationship to those around us as well.
I
hope you decide to commit your Sunday mornings in January and February to the
Lord and to receiving his words for you. If
you would like to be connected to a small group study accompanying the message
please just let me know and we’ll connect you.
