This sermon challenges listeners to rethink change, moving from self-reliant “behavior modification” to God-powered “spiritual transformation.” Drawing from Paul’s struggles in Romans 7, the message rejects the mindsets of “God, then me” (self-reliance) and “God, not me” (passivity), urging instead a “God through me” approach rooted in grace. Real transformation begins with a spiritual why (God’s purpose for your change) and a spiritual how (God’s power enabling it). The call is to trust God’s Spirit in every weakness, allowing His grace to reshape both heart and habits for lasting change.
