Transformational | FOR 2026
DOING what Jesus did makes us more LIKE our King.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved YOU, so YOU must love ONE ANOTHER. By this EVERYONE will KNOW that you are MY disciples, if you love one another.” – John 13:34-35
The foundation of the early Church: A RESURRECTED Messiah
We are to do for OTHERS what Jesus did for US.
Four areas the Jesus movement was transformational in culture
1. The Church is a BODY not a kingdom.
“Jesus answered, My Kingdom is NOT and EARTHLY kingdom…My Kingdom is not of this world.” – John 18:36
“ALL of you TOGETHER are Christ’s body, and EACH of you is a part of it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27
2. Jesus Kingdom completely redefined the idea of AUTHORITY.
“Jesus called them together and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise AUTHORITY over them. NOT so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become GREAT among you must be your SERVANT, and whoever wants to be FIRST must be your SLAVE.” – Matthew 20:26-27
3. In Jesus’ Kingdom, SPIRITUALITY is measured by how well one LOVES, not how much one KNOWS.
“The FRUIT of the SPIRIT is LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” – Galatians 5:22
4. In Jesus’ Kingdom HOLINESS is about ENGAGING instead of isolating.
“The Word BECAME flesh, and made His DWELLING among us.” – John 1:14
“Therefore GO and make disciples of all nations…and surely I am WITH you ALWAYS, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19-20
That’s why as Jesus followers we are to: BRING Jesus into EVERY relationship.
