    • Mission

  • You can be a “New Christian” with Old Habits
  • You got a “New Life” but an Old Mind
  • You thought the denomination would save you but it was a band-aid, or band-age, used to cover up sin. But there was no healing in it. No power!!
  • Just cause you wear a long dress don’t mean you ain’t a hot mess!
  • Talking in tongues, but cussing out your kids!
  • Preaching in the pulpit, but won’t talk to your spouse at home.
  • Jesus wants to upgrade you, transform your life, make you new, so you can be whole!!

Titus‬ ‭3:4-5‬ ‭GW‬‬
“However, when God our Savior made his kindness and love for humanity appear, he saved us, but not because of anything we had done to gain his approval. Instead, because of his mercy he saved us through the washing in which the Holy Spirit gives us new birth and renewal.”
‭‭

Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭GW
“Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God’s compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you. Don’t become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants—what is good, pleasing, and perfect.”
