Progression, Not Perfection

March 27, 2022 • Rusty Coram, Becky Coram • Jeremiah 29:11, Matthew 16:22, James 4:6–7, Matthew 14:27, Matthew 16:18

Meaningful change never happens overnight – it’s a journey. It’s also not a straight line. There are often moments of confusion, elation, missteps, and victories.

More from Simon Says

Introduction

2 Corinthians 5:17

Simon was a partner in a family-owned fishing business. Everything changed, though, when Jesus invited him to join His team. Jesus gave him a new name, Peter, and as we follow his life in the Bible, we see him transform from a man often driven by his emotion and passion to a leader with great wisdom, courage and conviction. Peter’s life is an example for us all of the way God invites us as we are and then begins changes in us that allow us to discover potential we would have never imagined.

The Best Change of Heart

March 13, 2022 • Rusty Coram • Matthew 28:18–20

When we decide to follow Jesus, He begins working on us from the inside out. The more we embrace this new life, the more our hearts change and grow. In the coming weeks, we’ll see how true this was for one well-known figure in the Bible. But first, let’s celebrate the changed hearts of some of our own New Hope family.

Good Enough for Jesus

March 20, 2022 • Rusty Coram, Becky Coram • Luke 15:1–7, Luke 5:31, Luke 5:1–11, 2 Corinthians 5:17

There are no prerequisites to follow Jesus. He invites us exactly as we are and welcomes us as treasured members of His family. Change will come, but not before!
