Transformed by the Cross --Steve Klein (SEP 5, 2021)


Gazing at the cross where Jesus died can be life changing. The longer we transfix our minds on the cross, the more we identify with the One who gave Himself there, the more we become like Him.

Adorning Body and Soul --Steve Klein (APR 28, 2021)

Changing from Within (Allowing the knowledge of Jesus to permeate our lives) --Steve Klein (APR 11, 2021)

Transformation - Choosing to Change --Steve Klein (MAR 14, 2021)

Be Transformed --Steve Klein (JAN 3, 2021)


To be TRANSFORMED we must avoid being CONFORMED to the world. Our worldly minds must be changed ? renewed by being replaced with the mind of Christ. Three aspects of transformation are much needed among Christians today and would help us at Eastside. 1) Do not be conformed to the world.? We cannot allow the world to compress us into its mold.? We cannot allow ourselves to be so lacking in moral fiber and spiritual stability that we are swayed by every new craze, social movement, or ideological fashion that comes down the pike.? 2) Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.? The process of transformation begins in the mind.? If we don't think different, we'll never really be different. I believe our thinking needs to be challenged and changed by the knowledge of Christ and His word. 3) Put God's will into practice.? We must test, experience, and use our knowledge of God's will in practical and discernable ways in our lives.
