Marriage isn’t just a commitment—it’s a calling. In this message, Pastor Brandon breaks down one of the most powerful (and often misunderstood) passages in Ephesians 5 to show how marriage is more than romance, rules, or roles. It’s a reflection of the gospel. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or somewhere in between, this message speaks directly to the heart of every relationship. Why? Because at the center of every godly relationship is a simple truth: you don’t need a new spouse—you need a new surrender. Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:21–33 Big Idea: Marriage isn’t designed to make you happy. It’s designed to make you holy. Key Quote: “Marriage forms you into who you’re called to be—not who you always wanted to be.” ⸻ Core Themes in this Message: • Marriage as a divine mystery, not just a human contract • Redefining authority through Christ, not control • The connection between responsibility and spiritual maturity • Why mutual submission is an act of worship • How humility unlocks unity in every relationship • Practical ways to walk in daily surrender +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

"The enemy doesn't have to steal your light. All he has to do is convince you that your light is not worth shining." --Emily Paul As Christians, we're told to "shine your light," but what does that practically mean in our daily lives? In this installment of the "Identity Theft" series, titled "Flip the Switch," Emily Paul poses a crucial question: It's not if we know we're called to be a light, but are we living like it? Drawing from Ephesians 5, Emily explains that when we accept Jesus, the light is already in us; our job is to "flip the switch" and let it out. This message will guide you through five essential truths for carrying your light effectively. You'll be challenged to let go of the shadows of your past, embrace the awkwardness of being set apart, and stay connected to the true source of power. Discover how your consistency can spark curiosity in others and learn why you must own your light, understanding that your courage can be the key to someone else's breakthrough. This message is a vital reminder that revival starts not "out there," but right inside of us. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Join guest speaker Russell Siemer, formerly the Worship and Outreach Pastor at Transformation Church, as he returns to share a deeply personal and powerful message entitled "Built to Last." Russell begins by highlighting the profound impact of a father's words and love in shaping a child's identity, urging all parents to verbalize their pride and affection, breaking generational cycles of unspoken love. Drawing from his own experiences as a church planter navigating both the urgency of reaching the unchurched and the patience to trust God's timing, Russell sets the stage for a profound dive into Ephesians chapter 3. He reveals the secret to living a life "built to last": understanding and internalizing God's boundless love. Russell unpacks Paul's message to the Ephesians, a church situated at the epicenter of both human knowledge and diverse worship. Paul reminds them—and us—that through Christ Jesus, the gospel is now inclusive, granting both Jews and Gentiles equal access to God's presence and an equal share in the riches inherited by His children. This "mysterious plan," hidden for ages, was always God's intention: a meta-narrative of restoration for all. A poignant segment of the message addresses the counterintuitive truth that where the church faces the greatest persecution, the gospel spreads like wildfire. Russell offers a stirring challenge to American believers, reminding them that an increasingly unpopular Christian faith is, in fact, a sign of an opportune time for a great spiritual awakening. The heart of the sermon lies in Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19: that we would be "empowered with inner strength through His Spirit" and that "Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him." This leads to the core truth: God loves you. Russell tackles common misconceptions about this foundational truth, debunking the myths that God's love is a license for complacency or an excuse to remain unchanged. Instead, he asserts, God's love accepts us as we are but loves us too much to leave us there, providing the "guardrails" for a life of purpose and wholeness. He transparently shares common barriers to receiving God's love, including past hurts from earthly relationships, the struggles and hardships of life that tempt us to question God's care, and a low view of ourselves that hinders self-forgiveness. Russell beautifully illustrates God's lavish and seemingly "reckless" love through the parable of the Prodigal Son, demonstrating the Father's relentless pursuit and extravagant grace for the undeserving. This message is an urgent invitation to step into God's transforming love—whether for the very first time in salvation, for healing from deep wounds inflicted by earthly fathers, or for overcoming the struggle to love and forgive oneself. Russell Siemer provides practical encouragement and a powerful reminder that "nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." Tune in to discover how embracing this truth can build a life that truly lasts. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/
