Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to the lost and found for transformation in Christ.

We're so glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe God will transform your life through today's message.

We are in week three of our series, Holy Rebellion. Everybody say Holy Rebellion.

And I am super grateful for today in this word and I got this, I was in North Carolina this past week with some of my friends and I was literally sitting in the service and the Holy Spirit just dropped this word into my heart and I was like, so gas.

I literally just leaned over to Abby and I was like, I got it. She was like, what? Don't worry, I got it.

She's like, okay. And so I'm very grateful for this. And it's week three. We've talked about shame. The first week we talked about shame, ain't my name.

And some of you are a little frustrated because it was like Charles, it's is not. And I get it. Yes, thank you. You can write it down in your notes, but I wrote it down in my notes.

Shame, ain't my name. So shame is not my name. And then last week we talked about bitterness that if we want to rebel, we make a decision. I refuse to be bitter.

I refuse to allow my past to find me. I refuse to hold on to that. Then this week I'm very excited to take it a little bit further. But I want to read our anchor scripture, our anchor scripture. If you all can put it on the back screen, we're going to read it all together.

I'm going to have to stand up this time. I'm going to let everybody sit down. I'm about to sit down a little bit in case my legs give out on me.

But if you can put that up, here it is. Romans 116. This is the anchor scripture for the whole series. By the end of this series, if you can do anything else, my desire, my prayer is that this scripture would be down in your heart and would sink so far deep into your soul that you would truly believe these words.

We need it together. Remember all my impressive people trying to read fast. You already passed the point and where you could have got your points. And so we're just all going to read together at a normal pace.

I'm a count to three. We're going to read it aloud together. Everybody with me. Here we go. One, two, three. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.

We're the Jew first and also for the Greek. This is our anchor scripture. This is what we found this series on. It's to live a life that is not ashamed of the gospel that we would be bold in our faith, that we would be bold in how God created us and not in our own desires, but in the desires that he is lay out in front of us.

We realized that God has put something on the inside of every single person in this room, every single person in their sound in my voice that was made for a specific assignment at a specific time in a specific place.

There is something in you that the earth needs. And the enemy would do everything he can to try to convince you that it's to your past your time or you made too many mistakes. That is not true.

There is something in the world. There is something in you that the world needs. And we've been saying this. I'm going to say it every single week until we're done. You were created with the purpose and the power to stand up and stand out every single week. I say that. I feel that because there are some of you who think you are made to be normal, that you are not even made to be normal.

There are some of you that you know something is on the inside of you, but you are convinced you do not have what it takes to be who God called you to be. The devil is a liar. That is not true. God has put every single thing on the inside of you to be exactly who he created you to be.

You have not made too many mistakes to still be who God called you to be. You have not done too many bad things. It's not that you don't know the right people at the right time.

God is going to align these things and you will find yourself standing, sitting and talking and speaking in places that you thought I don't know how I did this. It's because God created you with the purpose and the power to stand up and stand out.

There are some of you that I have gotten so convinced that your purpose has to be something crazy. There has to be some wild.

Here is what you are coming up with. You want to do something crazy in today's time. You want to be crazy? Be kind to people that they are kind to you.
