About YOU!
A Sermon IS…
A sermon IS seeking a word from God’s Word, and delivering it in a way that changes people’s thinking so that they will no longer conform to the patterns of this dark world, but be transformed by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2).
Transformed into what? Transformed to becoming more and more like Jesus. (Galatians 2:20)
May we never lose this focus.
Great reminder! I thank God for your faithfulness.
