Avoiding Arrested Development

This Sunday we will begin a new series entitled Avoiding Arrested Development. The series will be about how we can experience transformation in our lives. We are all prone to getting stuck in spiritual infancy, never really experiencing change in our hearts, our minds, or our actions. It's God's desire that we would be shaped into the image of His Son. (Romans 8:29) What does that look like? How does that happen?

In Romans 12:2 Paul uses the Greek word metamorphoo to describe this transformation. This is the same word used to describe the transformation that takes place in a caterpillar when it becomes a butterfly. Do you long for such dramatic transformation in your life? I do. I long to see a church that reflects the image of the Son to the city.

I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday as we embark on a journey of transformation.
