Big Idea - The world has certain patterns to it that do not lead to a full life. Greed, anger, jealousy, materialism, and dishonesty are just a few of them. Paul instructs us in the book of Romans to no longer conform or blend in with the ways of the world, but instead we are to live as transformed people. Transformation doesn’t happen by accident; it is an intentional way of daily living.
Prayer - “God, I have been guilty of creating patterns in my life that do not lead to the full life you want to give me. Help me to get rid of the unhealthy patterns and to substitute them with healthier ones. Transform me into the child of God I was designed to be.”
Scripture - Romans 12:2, John 4:1-26, 5:1-9, 10:10, 2 Cor. 5:17
