Living water in a thirsty world that's the calling of a believer's life. So, why is it that Christ's followers so often feel as dry and desert-like as rest of the world? According to author Gary Thomas, the key is transformation. We get hung up trying to avoid sin rather than living a transformed life. In this inspiring broadcast, your community will learn what it means to truly put on a new self and become a "God-oasis" in the midst of an arid culture. Thomas says that few people realize the spiritual purpose of living in a physical body or the day-to-day process of living a holy life. To see with Christ's eyes, feel with Christ's heart, and serve with Christ's hands this is true Christian transformation! This is the Beautiful Fight! Your community will learn that the Christian life is not about perfection that's been settled by Jesus. Instead, learn to focus on: - The living, active presence of Christ.
- The need to listen to God daily.
- Pleasing God with your actions rather than trying to earn his favor.
- Asking, "What is Jesus doing?" rather than "What would Jesus do?"
This is a call to transformed living! 2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
