In this powerful message on transformation, we're reminded that change is not just possible, but essential to our Christian walk.The key scripture, 2 Corinthians 3:18, beautifully illustrates how we are 'being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.' This gradual process of becoming more like Christ is compared to an acorn's slow but mighty ability to break through concrete. We're challenged to reframe our thinking, rewire our emotions, and redress our behaviors. The story of Peter's transformation from denial to martyrdom serves as a poignant example of God's patient work in our lives.

Let's embrace this journey of change, trusting that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion.Website: https://impact.church
