| “Transformed” “There are times in life when we might decide to make a change, to go a different direction, to rework something or maybe modify our approach. While all these terms may suggest that we are going to go about things differently, they still do not fully embrace the idea of what is means to be transformed. The bible is full of metaphors that lead us to understand the radical transformation that God expects from those who want to be His faithful servants. Just as we can see in nature around us, our transformation helps us become something all-together different than what we were before. (Romans 12:2)” “A. The “Metamorphosis” of Being Transformed – Something New (Matt.17:2; Mark 9:1-3; 2 Cor.5:14-17)” “1. Transformed is not just _________________ differently (2 Cor. 3:18; Rom.12:1)” “2. Transformed is not just _______________ differently (Eph. 4:29; Psalm 66:8-12)” “3. Transformed is not just ______________ differently (Gal. 2:20; Matt.5:13-16; Jame 1:22-25)” “B. I’m Transformed When:” “1. I’m not the same person I used to be (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Eph.4:22-24; Col.3:9-10)” “2. I make a choice to ___________ by something different than does the rest of the world” “(Rom.8:12-14; Gal.5:16-17, 24-25)” “3. I can acknowledge that ____________ doesn’t control me any longer (Rom. 6:11-13; 16,22-23)” “4. The driving force in my life truly revolves around my Savior (Ps. 103:2-4; John 3:16)” “5. My first __________________ are always that I am a child of God (1 John 3:2-3; Gal. 2:20)” “6. My true desire is for _________________________ that is guided by God (Ps. 139:23-24; 51:10-12)” “7. I want to go __________________ (2 Cor. 5:2; Rev.21:3-4)” |
