Our culture wants everything fast. Overnight delivery, immediate results, fad diets, and microwave faith. Make me better….NOW! Yet Christ formation so often takes a lifetime. How can we remain faithful? Join us for our final installment of One Changed Man as we look at the life of Timothy, a man of generational faith and uncommon character!

We’ve seen how God changed Paul, The Demoniac, Moses & in this session we turn our eyes towards The Rock. Simon Peter. The coward. The brave. The passionate and often misguided. The one who Christ made STRONG and made NEW. Where is it that God desires to give you new strength? Because, for Gods man….power is a PROMISE! You won’t want to miss session 3 of One Changed Man.

What is in control of your life? Who, or what makes the decisions? What calls the shots? Is it your appetite? Desires? Plans? Hopes? Dreams….or is it Jesus? What Christ desires of us is surrender. That we would relinquish what control we think we have, over to the One who holds all things. But…it’s not as easy as it sounds! So many voices vying for our attention, so many things claiming to be true…how does God’s man know what to do? Join us for week two of One Changed Man, where we’ll unpack the freedom we find when Jesus Christ becomes the King over our entire lives.

We often wonder what difference our life is making, or if it is making a difference at all. In such a vast world it is easy to feel insignificant. BUT…the Creator God has planned, purposed, and placed Every Man to make an impact for His Kingdom. The true question is not if my life is having an impact, but rather what kind of impact is my life having? As God begins to change us, to transform us He always does so with a purpose in mind. We are changed, to be used to change others. What can our God do, through One Changed Man? In this series we’ll study the lives of 4 men whom God changed, and then used powerfully to change many others.

In the Star Wars meta-verse there is one saying you can count on when something intense or meaningful is going to take place. Do you know what it is? When one character in the resistance must leave or separate from another brother in the resistance to head out to battle the dark side, the one staying will always say to the other: "May the force be with you." Upon leaving earth to return to heaven Jesus asked the Father to protect his men who would remain on earth to fight evil and advance his Kingdom as well. His prayer would travel down through the ages to this moment, to me, and to you as we enter the battles of our era in his name. He asked for UNITY among his men so the world would know that He was the Son of God. In other words, Jesus says "The force is with US." He says that the power of his kingdom will manifest when his people are unified AS ONE.

Ever heard a friendship described as two people being "thick as thieves"?  It means they have secrets and experiences only they know about - they are bonded by unique history and events.  Their connection is THICK.  The fact of friendships is that the good ones cost you.  A price has been paid for it - choices that reflect uninhibited commitment.   It is rare air to find and keep a relationship like this.  Few reach that space - as it should be.   They have "place."  Imagine the small triangle space at the top a large pyramid versus the large spacious base.  That's the difference between consecrated relationships which are few and casual relationships which are many.  The Bible says to "consecrate yourselves to the Lord" or set that relationship apart as special.  The same is true with godly friendships.  Who in your life is "set apart" as friends under God? Who is at the top of the pyramid?  Who is a true forever brother? What does spiritually "thick" look like?

No one disagrees with this simple fact: relationships are a risk- especially at the start. You can't know before the fact if they are gonna work out. At the same time, when your risk of connecting was rewarded with close, lifelong friendship you believe the risk we took was worth it! The same is true with God. We must - by faith - risk toward the relationship without knowing the outcome in advance and we are glad we did! Jesus delights in our faith placed in him, his ways, and his words. If that's the model - risking for relationship - then how does that apply to the family of God and being a brother? For those relationships to be great shouldn't we have to risk as well? But how? In what specific ways? Are you ready to take the leap into better community? If so, God says you are gonna have to take some new risks.
