The Mind of the Life (Psalm 1)
Life is filled with all sorts of landscape. An all terrain faith is equally balanced for the breathtaking view from the mountaintop and the confusing trek though a cold, dark valley. It provides adequate support for walking in rough, rocky stretches and stability for the slippery spots. In this exploration of the Psalms, we will see that no matter where you find yourself in life there is an appropriate faith response to your life situation. Are you ready for the hike?

Power to Change
If we care at all, we'll want to see change in the world and ourselves. Yet we seem powerless to bring about any real lasting, substantial change in either. Why bother? Is there really any hope? The simple answer is yes. But it requires more than our own effort.

An Authentic Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a huge distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

Keep the Change
Many people struggle with the very concept of God's love. No matter how many times they hear it, nor how many scriptures they are referred to, they feel unworthy of God's love. This is because they have received some bad theology. They believe they are bad, but that God can change them. Unfortunately, neither of these premises is true-they aren't and He won't. Key Verses: Ro 3:23, Ps 139:11-16, Jer 1:4-5, Gal 1:13-17, 2Cor 5:17, Act 20:22-24, 2Cor 10:12-17

The Fire at Mount Tabor
The Biblical account of the Transfiguration is a fascinating one. In today's Gospel reading we will hear Matthew's description of this unusual event when Jesus' "face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light." For many of us this is one more proof of the divinity of Christ and perhaps of symbolic value, but it is often hard to connect it with anything practical in our lives. The eastern Orthodox churches have always held this to be of central importance not only in the life of Jesus, but in the lives of believers down through the ages. They have seen this to be of major practical value and their insights are significant ones. As with so much of the Bible, this account is given not merely to inform us, but to transform us and it is in this transformation that we find the practical value of this beautiful passage.

God Is Able!
The person who limits God simply does not know God! The one who reads the Word of God and scoffs at what is recorded there does not know the power of God Almighty! The Scriptures tell us that "With God all things are possible" that He has "All power in heaven and earth". And God is able!

Salt and Light
In the eyes of the world, Jesus was a fool. He did not abide by the rules of the day; the people he associated with were shunned by society; his Sermon on the Mount reads like a primer on being left behind, stepped on and ignored. Being a ‘Christian’ is not some magical process by which we are automatically transformed into better people. We must train to become who God wants us to be. We are sinful, faulted beings. Our system fi les are corrupted and we need to reset our systems to the defaults that Christ has demonstrated for us. It begins with the reshaping of our minds ‒ how we think ‒ what we believe ‒ what we know to be true, and then beginning to live out that truth in practical ways in our daily lives. Key Passage: Matthew 5: 1-16

Dangerous Transformation
Over 2000 years ago, God used twelve ordinary men to transform the world. As followers of Christ, the call on our lives is no less. We are to be a dangerous people, allowing ourselves to be God's vessel for accomplishing extraordinary things. When is the last time you believed God for something extraordinary?

Change the World... one life at a time
God has always had a voice! Even in the darkest days of human history, there has been a “faithful remnant” of His people who continued to hope, continued to trust, continued to pray and continued to walk in the steps of the Master. There may be days that we are tempted to give up the fight, to pack in our efforts to see the world become a better place…but today is not that day! As we head into a new calendar year, God is calling us, perhaps like never before to champion and leverage all the resources He has placed in our hands, to be used for the transformation of our world! Are you up for the challenge? Key Passage: Luke 3:4-6

The Transformation Series: Why Are There So Many Thorns in My Garden?
Notice that in many religious systems we are asked either to obey to be loved or to forsake “earthly” things in order to be made right. Yet both of those systems do not get rid of sin, motivate anyone, or change the heart. The Christian walk is not a life of seclusion and separation, but a life of redemption that continues to change a life to reveal what real life is like; expressing that life in a heart change, not a rule change.

The Transformation Series: Transformation from the Inside Out
We are in a spiritual battle for our minds and our hearts. Everything in this world points you away from Christ toward the next best thing to fulfill you life. Our response is NOT to separate us from the world, because that doesn’t change our heart, rather we are to begin to seek God in word and prayer to change us so that we can engage our world in mission with a heart that is less pleased with the world, and much pleased with Christ.

Transforming The World By Uprooting Idols (Isaiah 58:1-12)
What if you could be authentically free from self and lead the life God has destined you for – a life of impact? In this sermon, we will look at how being free from the idols that enslave us is the secret to seeing not only our hearts, but our world transformed.

How Change Works (Romans 8:1-17)
Sure, the good news of the Gospel is that we are forgiven because of Jesus. But can the Gospel actually lead to real change in our lives? In this sermon, we will look at how change works and how we can tap into the power of the Gospel that leads to authentic transformation.

Moral Life Or Transformed Heart? (1 Corinthians 13:1-13)
Why is Christianity often more identified with moral restriction than a deep love for both God and others? In this sermon, we will look at the difference between a morally restrained heart and a supernaturally transformed heart, and why the latter is necessary for the church to function in the world today.

a birthed church
In this passage we see a church being birthed. It's a beautiful reminder the church isn't supposed to be mechanically brought into existence. Rather it's a natural context for people to live missionally and be transformed to live in the ways of Jesus.

The Greatest of All (Mark 9:33-50)
Because Christ is lord over all things, following Christ requires change in every area of our lives. In particular, we see in this passage that Christ's lordship changes how we think of ourselves, how we think of and serve one another, and how we battle sin. And because of his sacrifice and the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to grow in living out these changed lives.

Working TO or Working FROM?
This Sunday, we continue where we left off in 1 Timothy 4:7-16. The reality that each of us needs to take responsibility for our spiritual development needs to be guided by two truths. First, the grace of the gospel is paramount. We are not 'trying harder' to earn God's favor or respect. Second, we are working with a purpose in mind. 'Godliness' in this context is not an end in itself, it is a means to an end.

The One True Vine and the Fruitful Heart
Sometimes when we try to grow or change we just try to get by with an approach to life that places all of our effort and attention on our outward behavior. It's easy to do. But throughout his ministry Jesus taught us differently. He told us that change, which ignores the heart, will never transform our lives.

Roots
350 degrees, 4 turns, 16 minutes = medium well steak hot off the barbeque. Give me a nice hunk of beef or chiicken, a good barbeque, the right spices and I am laughing. I know how to barbeque. I know what to expect when the conditions are right and I know the quality of food that is produced - delicious. For fear that I am setting myself up for failure the next time you are over for a bite to eat, work with me on this illustration. Rick Warren in his book "Purpose Driven Life" says "God is not just the starting point of your life; He is the source of it. To discover your purpose in life you must turn to God's word, not the world's wisdom. You must build your life on eternal truths, not pop psychology, success-motivation or inspirational stories." To me, that statement describes perfectly, Transformissional Living. Being established on a foundation that gives you the confidence to live the life God has called you to. Authentic, passionate and fun. It should be a life that comes as naturally as what you know you can do well, like cooking steaks. Key Passage: Colossians 1:9b-10

Tranformation
As Soma prepares to launch this September, we want to take a serious look at who we want to be as a church. This series explores the mission, vision, distinctives and values of Soma Church Community. In this message we look at our transformation statement: We will be a community of people seeking spiritual transformation. We recognize that spiritual growth is not optional and therefore we will cooperate with God as He transforms us to be more like Jesus. Our services and programs will be designed with this goal.

Independent Dependence
We live in a culture that has a perceived value of independence but we are actually very functionally dependent. This attitude has taken a deep hold on how we view spiritual growth and has created at best a co-dependency between people and the church. The bible paints a picture of dependence for the Christ-follower, but it is a dependence upon God - who may use many agents at His whim. Our part in it is to take responsibility for the growth of the gospel in our lives. The question(s) for us then are Who are we dependent upon for our spiritual development? and How are we engaging in dependence?

Now That's a Sermon
Peter preaches on the day of Pentecost and 3,000 are baptized, transformed by God. And as the Christian church is birthed, we see that the emphasis is not on the church as a building, but the church as a fluid, moving body of Christ's followers, dedicated to a singular purpose.
