Yes! You Really Can ChangeSample

Is a Changed Life Really Possible? 

One of the fundamental messages of the New Testament is transformation. Everyone in Christ is a new creation! “The old has gone, the new is here!”

Why, then, aren’t we all experiencing transformed lives? 

I’ve met so many Christians who have given up on the idea of truly changing. They’ve tried and tried. They’re sincere and committed to Christ, but Christianity is “not working” for them.

Is this what you’re experiencing?

• Spiritual fatigue. Your faith has stalled. You’re stuck, not growing, and out of energy. 
• Spiritual frustration. You can’t seem to overcome some private sin or maintain spiritual discipline.
• Spiritual exhaustion. You keep trying to pray more, read the Bible more, serve more, worship more, but it’s not making any difference.

Are you weary of falling short of living like Christ? Are you wondering, where is the “abundant life” that the Bible promises? When are the joy and victory going to show up?

I’m here to assure you that the gospel of Jesus really does change lives! 

Jesus did not come to tell you how to just be the best version of yourself. He came to make you new. That’s what you long for, and that’s what God promises.

But we need to know how to apply His promises and let the power of God work in us. In this study, we’re going to explore the supernatural transformation that the apostle Paul talks about in Ephesians 4. We’re going to learn how to participate with the Holy Spirit on a journey that moves us from old to new, from ordinary to extraordinary, from “I’m only human” to “I’m becoming like Jesus.” 

Because, yes, you really can change!

Reflection:

• Are you spiritually fatigued, frustrated, exhausted?
• Are you willing to walk forward in faith and ask God to help you see His promises in a new way?

Prayer: Jesus, help me to not give up on change. Give me the faith to seek the Holy Spirit’s help.
