This message explores the difference between being 'Christian nice' and experiencing true transformation in Christ.

Learn why Christianity isn't about behavior modification but heart transformation, and why our sinful nature doesn't automatically disappear when we accept Christ. The message outlines a practical four-step process for real change: catch negative thoughts, confess them to God, claim the Holy Spirit's power, and command your mind to think differently.

Discover what true spiritual maturity looks like according to Scripture. This powerful message explores Ephesians 4, where Paul challenges believers to live lives worthy of their calling in Christ. Learn the difference between simply growing in religious knowledge versus actually becoming more Christlike in character.

But God's measure for maturity is transformation into the image of Jesus.

Elisha served faithfully for nearly 20 years before receiving his double portion, teaching us that God's timing often tests our commitment. We learn that saying no to good things now may be necessary to say yes to God's best later. And we see how even apparent discouragement can be a divine test of our resolve. This message challenges the modern notion of instant spiritual gratification, revealing that the degree of God's fullness in our lives directly corresponds to how badly we want Him.
