You rebuild the insides of a house so that you can actually have an outside that is nice.

God rebuilds us on the inside so that our outside can be transformed.

How does the Holy Spirit rebuild us?

Our mind is our electrical system. Everything starts with a decision.

But quite often our decisions are left lacking.

God gives us the Spirit so we can have the mind of Christ.

How does God give us the mind of Christ?

Our lives are in need of rebuilding. But is there anyone who cares enough to rebuild our lives?

God is in the rebuilding lives business. How does he do it?

Vision is seeming the unseen.
Faith is making the unseen seen.

We can dream about riding the wave of faith.
Or we can get on the wave.

We measure greatness by how long we talk about celebrities. Or how permanent they are relevant.

Jesus is the most famous person of all time. His greatness is permanent. But why is his fame so permanent?

We love stories of sacrifice...when someone else goes through the sacrifice.

Jesus sacrifice is the greatest.
And it does the greatest.

We will pay great money or do extreme things to be in the likeness of a celebrity.

But that is only outside transformation.

Following the law is the same thing. Doing that only brings outside transformation.

But there is a transformation of likeness that runs deeper. And it still gives us the law.

What is the coolest thing a ticket has allowed you access to?

We're always looking for access to where we don't belong. God's presence is certainly a place we don't belong.

How do we get access?
And why is Jesus the only way to get access to God?

Celebrities who are "down to earth" appeal to us. But, by definition, a Heavenly God isn't "down to earth." What did God do to come "down to earth" and empathize with us?

We all acquire status symbols and hold on to them.

Jesus gave up his status symbols. And the reasons why will shock you!
