Change: Fostering Transformative Journeys of Faith

Change is an essential part of our faith journey. God is at work in us, but we have a role to play. We are called to break barriers, embrace transformation, and move forward in faith—trusting that the One who started the work in us will complete it.

Pastor Gary emphasizes the importance of building a firm foundation for our faith by listening to and practicing the words of Jesus, as highlighted in Matthew 7. He explains that spiritual transformation is akin to adoption, where the old life is replaced with new beginnings through faith in Christ, as illustrated in 2 Corinthians 5:17. Drawing from various scripture, Pastor Gary encourages believers to actively engage in spiritual disciplines to facilitate this ongoing transformation and to focus on the new paths God is creating. Ultimately, he reminds us that while challenges will arise, God is continuously at work in our lives, guiding us toward fulfillment of His promises and purpose.
