Metamorphosis
Pastor Steve Lummer
KEEP THE CHANGE

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2).

“metamorphosis” derives from Greek μεταμόρφωσις, “transformation, transforming”, from μετα- (meta-), “change” + μορφή (morphe), “form”.

KEEP THE CHANGE

1. THE BIG MO.
“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”

Talk about the SIZE OF THE TASK.
Vs. 2 a great crowd
Talk about the LITTLE YOU HAVE.
Vs. 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”
Leave JESUS out of the picture.
Vs. 11 Jesus then took the loaves
2. RUN THE RISK
Matthew 9:29 “According to your faith will it be done to you”
Psalm 78:40-42 , 69 -72 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel.

3. GETTING SOME TRACTION IN YOUR ACTION
For what is your life? It is a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. James 4;14 (nkjv)
he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:6 (nkjv)
4 NAVIGATE THE NEW YOU
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5,6 (nkjv)

5. SERVING OTHERS CHANGES YOU.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Matthew 28 (message)
