Through a Renewed Mind

Series: A Better Life

David McQueenJuly 26, 2026Weekend Services

Passage: Ephesians 4:17-24

Previous Page

In this message, we explore the path to a life that is "better than normal" by following the biblical mandate to be transformed through a renewed mind. Drawing from Ephesians 4:17-24, we examine how the "normal" way of living in our society often leads to a "futility of mind"—a state of emptiness and meaninglessness that fails to deliver on its promises. While culture often embraces relativism regarding truth, greed in finances, and brokenness in relationships, Jesus invites us to walk a different, "narrow road" that leads to a truly abundant life. By choosing to "put off" the old self and actively engaging in the renewal of our thinking to align with the spirit and truth found in Jesus, we can move beyond the "lukewarm" middle ground and experience God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will in every area of our lives.

To really follow Jesus is and always has been  relative to the  of the world.

 

The question isn’t do we want .  We all do. 

 

The question is whether we will trust Jesus who proved His heart to us on the cross by regularly, actively engaging putting off an old way of  and putting on a new one.

 

If we want what  people have, then let’s do what they do. 

 

But, if we want what few people have, then let’s do what few people do (by  like few people ).
