Scripture: Romans 12
-What do you plan on doing for God this upcoming week?
Scripture: Ezekiel 33
-Too often people are going to church yet not growing.
-It’s easy to go week to week without making an improvements in Christ. Make an effort to do better in God and encourage those around you to do the same.
-Don’t get confused as to why you are supposed to come to church.
-Make sure that church changes you. Make sure that you are taking steps to grow.
-Don’t be the same be better than you were last week.
Scripture: James 1
-If you are going to be “transformed” then you have to do something different.
-Don’t just listen to God’s word, do what God’s word says!
-Some people leave church and completely forget about the lesson they just heard.
-Transformation has to change your heart.
Scripture: Matthew 5
-Get your emotions in check. Make sure that whatever it is you are emotion about that you are emotional about it for the right reasons.
-Being mad or upset is not an excuse for sinning.
-Don’t sit in church with an attitudinal spirit.
-Some people are sitting in church that God has asked to leave a long time ago.
-It’s is so easy to push on without apologizing for past sins but it is not the right thing to do.
-Just going to church will not cover up a messed up life and a bad heart.
-Don’t try to cover up your sins, change!
-Stop living unresolved and live transformed!
-It’s so important that we are truly changed.
-Sorry is not always good enough, you need to repent and change. Just admitting that you are wrong is not repentance.
-You will know that you are in the process of transforming when YOU are seeking to make the necessary changes, not when other people have to drag and beg you to do the right thing.
Scripture: 1 John 3
-Another way to know that you have been transformed is when you start genuinely caring for and loving people of the church.
