This is Transformation Church Podcast. Here at TC we represent God to the lost and found for transformation in Christ.

We are in our vision series called Stronger. From wherever you're listening we hope you are encouraged by this week's message.

Hey what's up everybody? Nat and I want to invite you personally to our Grand Opening. Transformation Church on February 9th is the only place for you to be as we celebrate 21 years of being a ministry and...

5 years of us being the lead pastor. Come on. How are we doing? I don't know how we made it.

But it wasn't the grace of God. The grace of God allowed us to be pastors for five years and I believe the grace of God is going to allow you to get here and celebrate with us.

Yes TC nation we want you in the building. Bring your mama, daddy, your cousins, best friends, everybody. Bring them to us. Bring all. Come we want you to be here. It is free and we can't wait. It's the perfect time to come.

Even wondering when's the good time to come? This is the event. This is what you want to be.

And really what it's symbolizing is the mark of something that has happened in our church that we want you to be a part of in crazy faith.

So Saturday the 8th we're having a ribbon cutting ceremony at noon at the building to officially open it up.

And Sunday morning we are going in at 11 a.m. We're going to worship and it's going to be phenomenal because there's a word in the house.

And that Sunday night we are having a live worship recording where we're going to sing some of the songs and record them that have been marks of this movement.

And we want you to be in the place. It's free. It's free. And it's going to be amazing. And we cannot wait for it to happen and we can't wait for you to be there.

Hey February 9th transformation church grand opening last week.

We're in a series called Stronger and every year at the beginning of the year we take time to pick a word that will be our focus for the entire year and kind of shape what we do.

And we've done this for the past couple years and this year the word is stronger. Say it again everybody say stronger.

We believe in that this year we're going to get stronger this year we're going to grow and what all of our calling everything God's given us what he's called us to do and the purpose that he's put on the inside of us we're getting stronger and really we're getting stronger because we know what God has for us.

And sometimes it's easy to think that we would rather God just get us out but really there's two ways of relief either someone getting out of a situation or strengthening the person that's in the situation so they can carry it.

What I'm believing what I know is this year our church your family your marriage your relationships your business is getting stronger come on does anybody believe that you're getting stronger this year.

And as we're going into the series week one we talked about the value of vision you need to know that vision has value the Bible says in in in the back it too that where there is no vision the people perish one translation says the people cast off restraint or they stop caring we recognize that vision has to be clear it has to be from God and it has to be valid but once we have that vision we got to value it throughout the year the reason.

Half the people in this room have stopped on half of you new years resolutions hello it's okay I don't skipped over a couple of mine but the reason is because sometimes our vision gets tainted or gets switched what I realize is you never actually lose vision you just trade vision.

Like some of you think you lose vision you said a vision of you know what I'm going to be financially stable and I'm going to steward my money well that's your vision but what happens is you get on Instagram and you see all your friends on vacation and you don't lose vision you just trade vision to being on vacation and so now you spend your money and now you're doing all different kinds of stuff you don't lose the vision but you trade it but what we decided is we're going to value vision.

Last week we talked about winning in weakness was that message that message help anybody last week it was so amazing winning in weakness we don't have to wait till the end of the year or wait till we have it all together but God is going to strengthen us in our weakness and we're going to be able to win and I'm really excited about the word that I have for you today so if you have your bibles is anybody have a real Bible like you didn't have to charge your Bible come on the really saved people we don't get into heaven.
