My coastal pastor is speaking on transformation for the next few weeks. It's not just enough to get saved but, as the song says, "we were meant to live for so much more". The pastor first went over many types of things we try to use for transformation but in the end fall far short of what God wants to do in our lives.
I look forward to this study as the first step mentioned towards transformation is understanding "how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ" (from Ephesians 3:18). This is something I intellectually understand but mostly haven't known it experientially. I believe it but don't feel it. I know that God is good as He's proven that to me over and over. My prayer for myself, as I desire more transformation, is to experience "how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ". I want to do more than just take that love for granted but really know that love. I really want to get to the point where true surrender can occur and true surrender only really can occur via real love, not just intellectual understanding. I need to go further and accept Christ's love for me.
UPDATE: Here's the notes and the audio.
