MESSAGE OF THE MONTH

Transformed Instead of Conformed

Gabriel Cleator

Have you ever wondered what God’s will is for your life? Do you know what His desires are for you? In this message, Gabriel Cleator explains God’s desire for us to be transformed into the image of Christ. He shares how a key aspect of this transformation is connected with God’s present will for our lives.


You’ll also hear several lively illustrations: a story of a big fish that got away, the illustration of a caterpillar being transformed into a butterfly, and an analogy about a key ingredient in chocolate chip cookies. Gabriel employs these examples to explain how God transforms us into His image as we surrender to His sanctifying work in our lives.

COMMAND OF CHRIST

Go to Offenders

“Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.”

MATTHEW 18:15

Have you ever needed to repair something that was essential to your everyday life? Do you remember the day that it was fixed and how much joy and satisfaction it brought? You were probably very grateful to have it back in working order, serving the purpose for which it was designed!


This sense of joy and satisfaction that we can experience from fixing things is a small foretaste of what we as believers can experience when we help our offender recognize his offense. The reason for this fulfillment is because God’s heart is one of reconciliation and restoration. God desires that all those who have not known Him would be saved and that those who have gone astray would be brought back into fellowship with Him!
