Home Sweet Home | Nathan Bentley

What does it truly mean to be transformed by God? In this message, Pastor Nathan shares powerful insights from his sabbatical, reminding us that real renewal isn’t about surface-level change—it’s about allowing God to reach the deep, fractured places of our hearts and restore wholeness.
Wrestling with God and Identity
Like Jacob wrestling with God, transformation often comes through struggle. Jacob’s identity shifted to Israel—one who prevails with God. In the same way, God wants to reshape our identity, teaching us that through perseverance and His grace, we can overcome.
Renewing the Mind and Heart
Romans 12 calls us to renewal—not just avoiding sin but letting God piece together the broken parts of our lives. This deeper work unites our hearts in worship, moving us beyond behavior modification into true freedom and wholeness in Christ.
Living in the Tension of Flesh and Spirit
Paul’s words in Romans 7 remind us that the battle between flesh and spirit is real—but hope is found in Christ. By relying on the Holy Spirit, we find strength in weakness and victory in surrender.
A Call to Transformation
Pastor Nathan challenges us to embrace change with honesty and vulnerability, letting God bring healing where we need it most. Transformation isn’t easy, but it’s the pathway to light, freedom, and becoming a witness of God’s glory to the world.
