Can I Really Change?

This sermon introduces a new series focused on beginning the year renewed in Christ, based on Philippians 3:8–10. The message emphasizes that true and lasting change is not achieved through self-effort or resolutions, but through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ working in us. Bro. Don challenges us to let go of the past, confront ongoing problems, and allow God to transform their hearts, minds, and lives. Spiritual growth requires trusting Christ, yielding to His power, and committing to daily obedience, rather than relying on human effort. By embracing God’s power, believers can experience forgiveness, maturity, and transformation, becoming more Christlike in thought, action, and character. The sermon calls for immediate response, urging listeners not to postpone change, but to act now and rely fully on God’s strength for the new year.
