TRANSFORMED HEARTS, RENEWED MINDS, and LIVES

Romans 12:2  

1. A CHALLENGE THAT’S IMPERATIVE 

Word of Warning:

It is not uncommon for unbelievers to mask themselves as Christians. Unfortunately, it also is not uncommon for Christians to wear the world’s masks.

Statement of Truth:

CONSECRATION PREVENTS CONFORMITY

             II.  A CHANGE THAT IS INTERNAL 

Statement of Truth: 

Our metamorphosis (change/transformation) is one time (through justification) and ongoing (through sanctification) and is accomplished by the renewing of the mind.

NOTE THE CHALLENGE:

Without question:  Our Hearts will deceive us!

The Messiah that Came to Bethlehem
Passages from Luke & Matthew’s Gospel

Three types of people today:

               ·      Those who do not see the gift – Bethlehem

               ·      Those who say, “I don’t need the gift” – Joseph

               ·      Those who say, I see the gift, but I don’t deserve it”  - Mary

Bethlehem reminds us:

              ·      God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise

              ·      It does not take a big place to do big things, it only takes a big God

              ·      We are to busy and distracted

              ·      That our lives are over crowded

Joseph reminds us:

             ·      We may not know what we need, but God does

             ·      Obedience is better than understanding

Mary reminds us:

·      Even when we don’t deserve the gift, God still offers it to us
