Transformation Not Just Information – Ps. Lee Armstrong

Message Date: October 4, 2020
Bible

Three Levels of change

#1) Information, Inspiration, and Transformation

Ex. Fuel gauge reading empty

 

 My Concern:

Information is important: We’re in an information age!

2nd Peter 1:2-4 “Grace & Peace be…”

John 17:4 “And this is eternal life…”

2nd Tim. 3:7 “ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of God”

(1st Cor.8:1 Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies)

 

#2) Inspiration:

We’re obsessed with inspirational video’s

Ex. Cat video’s

Exodus 35:5 “Whosoever was of a willing heart…”

Verse 21) “Then everyone came whose heart stirred and everyone whose spirit was willing… brought their sacrifice

Matt. 26:41 “ The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”

But inspiration without transformation is nothing more than a New Years’ resolution!!

God uses information and inspiration, but His desire is transformation!

Rom. 12:2 “Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed…”

Picture inserted here: Ex. Worm /Butterfly

 

Five keys to transformation:
