Overview

You need to change. 

It’s unlikely you have much objection to that statement, even though it’s pointed—and pointed right at you! Every one of us could name areas in our lives where we fall short. You, your spouse (if married), your kids (if a parent), your friends, your colleagues—even your Journey Group members!—could undoubtedly offer a catalogue of flaws, bad habits, and, well, sins.

Change is difficult, feeling even impossible. But there is hope. God promises to sanctify us—to make us holy, transforming us into Christ-likeness. As we dig into God’s Word, we see the answer. When we attempt to change our behavior without addressing its source, the endeavor proves fruitless. We’ll examine what Scripture says about the heart, and why the heart must be the center of our pursuit of true transformation.

In this Journey Section you will:

  • Study what scripture says about our hearts and how God transforms us
  • Practice pursuing each other’s hearts
  • Search for the sin beneath the sin (What is our heart-level motivation?)
  • Rest in the Lord’s work to transform and sanctify us
