Link: Transformation
Begins in the Heart of One
Last Sunday Pastor Ross (FBC's Execuative Pastor) shared a message setting up our next series on Transformational Church. From here through the first week in August we will be wrestling with "What does it mean to be a transformational church?"
Here is a quick outline of his message for you to follow as you listen:
The church is God's tool and instrument for His Kingdom work. Or maybe even better said: It is a "people gathered by His name on mission for Him."
- Transformation starts with God. (Matthew 28:18-20)
What part do you play? "We cannot be a conduit for God without being connected to His power"
- Transformation changes us. (Acts 2:42-47)
Peter before Pentecost denied Jesus after being connected to the Holy Spirit he couldn't remain quiet. Peter was transformed as a result others were transformed which led to changed lives. See Acts 2:42-47.
- Transformation in us changes others. (Acts 3:1-10, Romans 12:1-2)
Truly transformed lives connected to God transform others. Case in point the man lame from birth, begging his whole life is touched by God through Peter leads to others being transformed as well....
Our mandate:
Love God - Love Others - Touch the World
Blessings,
PT
