Sermons About Conversion
Pt. 5, Making Changes: The Transformation Choice
In this message Pastor Jeremy speaks to us about how God can change our lives after we come to the realization that we need Him. We need to confess to Him our struggles, big and small. By being open to and trusting in our Lord he can do amazing things for us. We have to want Him to make things changes!

Sacred Life: Titus 3.3-8
There is a groaning coming from all of creation. It is a longing for the new birth. Creation needs it. Not only does creation, but so does mankind. We need to be born again, to be changed and to experience regeneration. God has made this possible through HIs Son Jesus Christ by the work and power of the Holy Spirit. This week's message addresses true conversion and what God does to make one born again.

The Holy Spirit Equips the Messenger and Reveals Truth
In this sermon from Acts 17 we are reminded that the One who holds the power of life & death; the One who holds the power of resurrection, also holds the power to put the world right. The resurrection of Jesus creates and then makes available the reality in which we are formed as new creatures in Christ by the Holy Spirit.

Prisoners of Hope - Zechariah 9,10
9 out of 10 scholars agree: Zechariah is a tough book to interpret! But what do we find there? The classic Old Testament prophetic motifs and a clear explanation of the Jewish Eschatological Hope. But this hope exceeds the Hope of the enemies of Israel being judged... Zechariah says that these enemies will be CONVERTED by a donkey riding Messiah who will destroy the military might of Israel and proclaim, "Peace to the nations." Therefore, those of us still engaged in a spiritual battle should remember that we are prisoners of Hope! (And this hope will not disappoint!)

Paul, Peter, and the Whole Gospel
Building on the foundation provided in our exploration of the first eight chapters of the NT Book of Acts, today's reading and sermon focus our attention on three aspects of the "Good News" (the "Gospel") that God has graciously given us in Christ. These three are conversion, healing and resurrection. The account of Paul's conversion, his turning to Christ in faith, the healing of a paralyzed man named Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha, a woman deeply loved by many people on the margins of life whom she had helped, give us not just information, but beautiful pictures of the grace of God and an appreciation of the fact that the Whole Gospel is larger than we usually think it to be. We tend to be more familiar with the role of the Gospel in conversion, but the Gospel never stops with conversion. As we will see today, the Gospel can also bring us into an experience of God's gracious provision of healing and resurrection. We know about the importance of faith in the process of conversion, but even in the account of Paul's conversion, we see that God's grace is not merely "spiritual," but a whole-body experience. This is especially evident in the healing of Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha. But what does all of this mean for us today? Have we in the church lost something precious that the Scripture and the Spirit would have us find again?
