SundaySermon - Prince - Renewed Mind

Renewed Mind ‭Verse: Romans 12:2 [2] Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. The renewal of the mind is changing the way we think. God has given us salvation in our hearts. And this should cause a difference in the way we think. Caleb was one person who had the renewed mind. The mindset caused him to encourage people inspite of negative report from his other companions Verse: ‭Numbers 13:30 [30] But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!” Caleb's other companions said that there was no hope.... the grasshopper mindset Verse: ‭Numbers 13:33 [33] We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that’s what they thought, too!” Humanly speaking, we tend to make our problems ...

SundaySermon - Prince - Relational Transformation

 Relational Transformation When we talk of a transformation, we talk of a fullness that affects heart, soul, mind, body Verse: ‭Matthew 22:37-38 [37] Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’  [38] This is the first and greatest commandment.   Hence the transformation on the inside will show on the outside.

TeensCamp - Ben Session1

 Ben Session 1 Important Pointers from morning session You are free to choose but you are not free to choose the consequences of your choice Love your neighbor as your self.... It is important to love yourself. Identity (?) Emotional Regulation We are discussing "Emotional Regulation". What is "regulation"? It is to manage it.... You can't stop your emotions. You can hide your emotions for some time. But you can stop it. So you need to find a way to direct your emotions in the right away. Uncontrolled emotions will hurt the ones you love the most.  Example: You are angry and someone who cares for you comes by and says, "Calm down". That may often blow the lid off on your anger.
