New Year: Same you?

What happens when the calendar changes but we remain the same? In a powerful message about authentic transformation, Pastor Corey challenges us to move beyond the superficial optimism of New Year's resolutions to experience true renewal through Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:17, he illuminates how being "in Christ" means more than just attending church – it requires total surrender and trust in God's leadership. Through vulnerable personal stories, including his own struggles with pride and his son's health crisis, Pastor Corey demonstrates how prioritizing God above all else leads to genuine change. He emphasizes that this transformation isn't about perfection but about positioning – allowing God to demolish old patterns and rebuild our lives from the inside out. Rather than merely changing behaviors, we're called to shift our entire identity and perspective through an intimate relationship with Christ. The urgent invitation is clear: Stop doing the spiritual "hokey pokey" of partial commitment and instead give God complete access to every area of life. "Try Jesus for just one year," Pastor Corey challenges, "and watch how He transforms not just your circumstances, but your entire way of seeing and living life."
