Pastor Sarah Hingley speaks on Psalm 46:10.

TRANSFORMED is the word of God over our lives. We are not what we were. We are becoming! All He has made us to be, and then to do all he has called us to do is through a process of transformation. This doesn’t happen without our involvement. This isn’t an automatic process but requires our active participation. Over 10 weeks we are going to look at some key LIFE verses found in the Bible and actively, with help of Holy Spirit, apply and live those out, because Renewed Minds = Changed Lives. By grace, I can say, I am not who I was, and by grace I am becoming who he’s called and made me to be.

So, what does it mean to be a disciple? A follower of Jesus who reflects the character and mission of Jesus. When I look at the life of Jesus, the teaching, the miraculous signs and wonders, his life of prayer with the Father, the welcome and mission to the least, the lost and the last; the way he gathered friends and went on adventures of faith, the way he was empowered by Holy Spirit and knew the word, how he spoke with truth and grace, I realise that I am on a journey still of being the kind of radical, whole life, faith filled and faithful disciple I long to be. How do we do that? How do we live all out for Jesus alongside the pressures of life? How do we live as disciples in a world which tries to limit and contain? How do we leave the past behind and embrace the new life of the Spirit on offer to us? How do we become more like Jesus?

How can we be transformed and keep on being transformed?

How do we renew our minds and apply God’s word and invite Holy Spirit to transform us?
