In this Palm Sunday message from the "No Longer" series, Pastor Jon opens 2 Corinthians 5:14–21 (with 5:17 at the center) to show that the gospel doesn't make you a slightly improved version of yourself—it makes you a new creation. Tracing the Spirit's transforming "metamorphosis" (2 Corinthians 3:15–18), he names what changes when the old passes away: a new motive controlled by Christ's love, a new focus where Christ—not self—sits at the center, and a new purpose as ambassadors entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation.
