Transformation: Transformed through the Journey

The power of transformation is a powerful thing. God can change our lives in incredible ways if we let Him. We are beginning a new sermons series called Transformed: Transformed through the Journey. In 1 Corinthians 16:14 NASB, Paul states “Let all that you do be done in love.” This passage offers us a valuable lesson in the power of transformation and how God can use it to transform us.

Being transformed by God requires us to surrender our will to Him and allow Him to guide us. We must first understand that transformation is a process and not a single event. We must be willing to accept the changes that come our way and trust in God’s plan for us. We must be willing to take risks and put our faith in Him. When we surrender ourselves to God, we are allowing Him to work in us and through us.

We must also be willing to take action. We cannot just sit back and wait for God to do all the work. We must actively seek out God’s will for our lives and strive to do it. We must be willing to make changes in our lives that are consistent with His plan. We must be willing to put ourselves out there and take risks in order to follow God’s leading.

Finally, we must be patient. We must understand that transformation is a process and not something that will happen overnight. We must be patient with ourselves and with others as we strive to be transformed by God. We must be willing to take small steps and trust that God is leading us in the right direction.

Transformation is a powerful thing. By allowing God to work in us and through us, we can be transformed in ways we never thought possible. As we surrender our will to Him, take action, and be patient, we can be changed by God in ways that will bless us and those around us.
