Have you ever wondered why certain attitudes, emotions, habits, or destructive patterns are so difficult to change? You may have tried harder, made promises to yourself, and even prayed about it—only to find yourself falling back into the same pattern.

Here is the good news: God has not left you to transform yourself.

In the third message of the By My Spirit series, Pastor David explains how the Holy Spirit changes us from the inside out. Through 2 Corinthians 3:16–18, Romans 12:2, Psalm 51, and Galatians 5:25, we discover three practical ways to cooperate with His transforming work:

· Choose God’s truth.

· Remain in God’s presence through prayer and worship.

·  Respond to the Holy Spirit in obedience.

You are not powerless, alone, or permanently trapped in the person you used to be. As you surrender and cooperate with the Holy Spirit, He renews your thinking, transforms your character, heals wounded places, and makes you increasingly like Jesus.

What could change if you stopped relying only on your own strength and became more responsive to the Holy Spirit?

In part two of the By My Spirit series, Pastor David explains how we can make room for the Holy Spirit by recognizing His presence, discerning His direction, and responding when He leads. Discover how ordinary, faithful acts of obedience can open the door to God’s guidance, strength, freedom, and purpose in your everyday life.

Where Weakness Meets Power

Have you ever known what you needed to do but felt like you didn’t have what it took to do it? You want to make the right decision, overcome temptation, repair a relationship, or make a difference—but your strength only goes so far.

In the first message of the By My Spirit series, Pastor David explains why God never intended us to live the Christian life or fulfill His mission in our own strength. Through Zechariah 4:6, Luke 24:49, and Acts 4:23–31, we discover how the Holy Spirit gives ordinary people the wisdom, courage, and power they need.

Prayer is where our weakness meets God’s power. When we stop trying to handle everything ourselves and begin depending on the Holy Spirit, God can accomplish in us—and through us—what we could never accomplish alone.

What if God wants to do more than forgive your past? What if He also wants to transform your heart so you can live differently in the future?

In the second message of God, Start with Me, Pastor David explores David’s prayer in Psalm 51: “Create in me a clean heart, O God.”

Discover a simple pathway to freedom—pursue God, confess honestly, and repent by turning toward Him. “God, cleanse me” is not a prayer of guilt or condemnation. It is a courageous prayer of faith that invites God to heal what is broken, renew what has faded, and restore the joy of knowing Him.
