    S3 Ep62: Be Trans* Romans 12:1-2 *formed
    Feb 17 2025
    In today's sermon, Pastor Nick explores the theme of intentional living, drawing on the foundational scripture from Romans 12:1-2. He emphasizes the importance of being transformed rather than conformed to the patterns of this world. By presenting our bodies as living sacrifices, we acknowledge the mercy of God and commit to spiritual growth. Pastor Nick stresses that this transformation is a deliberate process that requires us to renew our minds continually and to strive for holiness in our daily lives. He encourages the congregation to recognize that genuine spiritual growth does not occur by accident but is the result of intentional actions taken to seek Christ's likeness. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Nick sheds light on the struggles faced by both Jewish and Gentile believers in the early church and relates it to present-day issues such as anger, greed, and addiction. He underscores how external influences can shape our thoughts and behaviors and how critical it is to turn to God to renew our minds and reshape our lives according to His will. Utilizing analogies from neuroscience, he highlights that the mind can be transformed through new habits and pathways of thinking aligned with God’s Word. Ultimately, Pastor Nick calls on the congregation to embrace a life characterized by intentional choices that reflect God's glory, thus living life to the fullest in accordance with His perfect will.

Pastor Nick also discussed the challenges believers face in maintaining their spiritual growth amidst distractions and doubts. He encouraged congregants to reflect on what hinders their faith and to engage with God about their struggles.

Ultimately, he reminded everyone that intentional effort is essential in the Christian life, reinforcing that faith is built through focused action, prayer, and community support, as they all seek to deepen their relationship with Christ.
