Summerfield Church - Fishtown

As we seek to build on the foundations of growing healthy, we see that there are three transformations that God wants to make in our life - both in our individual lives and in our life together as a church. These three transformations are:

1) WE ARE SET FREE BY GOD
Becoming a Christian isn't merely about mentally saying "I think that's true" to some set of beliefs. It's also not simply about deciding to try harder to be good people. We recogniz we have been slaves to sin, unable to free ourselves from sin's control on our lives and from the destructive consequences of our choices. However, by choosing to turn from that sin and accepting the forgiveness, new life, and freedom God gives us through Jesus Christ, we have been set free from sin - both its power and the death it brings.

2) WE LOVE GOD BY OBEYING GOD
Jesus said it plain and simple, "Those who love me obey my commands". In a similar statement, Jesus also said, "This is love for God - to obey his commands." It just doesn't get much clearer than that. We love God by obeying God.

3) WE PRESS ON TO THE GOAL
Temptations and trials will come our way. So will opportunities and adventures. Through them all, we keep our eyes on the goal - the Kingdom of God. We overcome distractions and live as heroes live, letting nothing stop us.
