Hope For Real Change

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

July 8, 2018 • Craig Sturm • 2 Corinthians 5:17–21

We all know from our own lives and our experience of the world around us, that real, lasting change is elusive. “Transformed” is a 4-part series exploring the transforming power of God in our lives. Today we will set the tone and trajectory for the entire series. In 2 Cor. 5:17-21, we will see that hope for real change is anchored in the promise of the redeeming love of God in Jesus Christ.

Cultivating a Culture of Care

July 29, 2018 • Craig Sturm • Galatians 6:2

“Transformed” is a 4-part series exploring the transforming power of God in our lives. We all know from our own lives and our experience of the world around us, that real, lasting change is elusive. Today, we wrap up the series by thinking through God’s call on us to “bear one another’s burdens” (Gal. 6:2) — and how that contributes to our cultivation of a culture of care that is conducive to change.

When Change is Hard

July 22, 2018 • Craig Sturm • Jeremiah 2:11–13

We all know from our own lives and our experience of the world around us, that real, lasting change is elusive. “Transformed” is a 4-part series exploring the transforming power of God in our lives. Today, from Jeremiah 2:11-13, we explore the heart of the barriers to change in our lives, and some foundational ways to push through those barriers by the grace of God.

How the Gospel Changes Us

July 15, 2018 • Craig Sturm • Ephesians 4:20–24

We all know from our own lives and our experience of the world around us, that real, lasting change is elusive. “Transformed” is a 4-part series exploring the transforming power of God in our lives. Today, from Ephesians 4:20-24, we will build on last week’s promise of hope for real change, anchored in the the redeeming love of God in Jesus Christ, by looking at a process of gospel change based on Paul’s exhortations to “put off your old self” and “put on the new self”.
