Transformation Church

Are you living in right standing with God or have you gotten comfortable in the wrong position? In Week 2 of HAPPY & HUNGRY, Pastor Michael Todd challenges us to take an honest inventory of our appetites, identify what’s driving us, and recognize the difference between the sins that trip us up and the weights that slow us down. Through Matthew 5:6 and Matthew 6:33, we discover that righteousness is more than simply being in right standing with God, it’s also about the right treatment of people. Righteousness makes you lean in, not lean back. God never called us to live comfortably reclined in our faith. He invites us to incline our hearts toward Him, hunger for what He desires, and find our fulfillment in Christ. We pray this message causes you to hunger & thirst after righteousness and actively pursue it.

What are you really hungry for? In Week 1 of our new series, HAPPY & HUNGRY, Pastor Michael Todd challenges us to examine our appetites and ask ourselves, “Are my desires aligned with God?”
Every day, we're feeding two competing appetites; our flesh and our spirit. The one we feed the most will ultimately dominate our lives. Through Matthew 5, we discover that being hungry and thirsty for righteousness is a blessing because God promises to fill those who desire Him! Pastor Mike gives us practical steps to monitor our appetites, eat the Word daily, align our relationships, and limit the substitutes that keep us spiritually empty. The enemy doesn't have to starve you if he can keep you full of the wrong things, but when you're hungry for the right things, you can live a fulfilled life!
