Transformed, Not Conformed
Transformed, Not Conformed
Series: Stand Alone, Sunday Morning
We’re tempted to conform to be liked. Children, teens, adults—we all adjust ourselves to fit the culture around us. Sometimes that helps us build bridges. Sometimes it dilutes who we’re meant to be.
But Scripture paints a different picture. Romans 12 calls us not to conform to the pattern of the world, but to be transformed. Paul urges believers to bless persecutors, honor others above themselves, and embrace the miraculous core of their faith without apology. Christians throughout history who held tightly to the supernatural—resurrection, incarnation, angels, miracles—became the ones who reshaped the world.
This message explores what it means to live, speak, treat others, and believe in ways that make the world pause—ways that make people notice Jesus. Ultimately, it invites us to join the angels of heaven in the only fitting response to a God who defies the spirit of every age: worship.
