Throw Off the Old, Put On the New

Pastor Andrew calls us as believers to radically transform our lives by rejecting our old sinful nature and embrace our new identity in Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 4-5, Pastor emphasizes that Christians must no longer conform to the patterns of this world but instead imitate God as His dear children. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can throw off their former way of life—which is corrupted by lust and deception—and put on their new nature, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. The sermon challenges the congregation to deny themselves, pick up their cross daily, and follow Jesus' example, recognizing that life in the Spirit far surpasses anything the world can offer. The message concludes with the church corporately turning in their two-week fast, praying for continued spiritual growth, healing, and breakthrough in the year ahead.
