Transformation Church

Is your past holding you back from moving forward? In Week 2 of the FORWARD Sermon Series, Pastor Charles Metcalf teaches us that the prerequisite for moving forward is learning how to properly place our past. Whether your past feels like a trophy you don’t want to let go of, a trap you keep returning to, or a tragedy marked by pain, shame, or grief, God is calling you forward. If you’ve been struggling with the grips of your past, this message will teach you how to remember differently, redeem what was meant to take you out, and represent God’s faithfulness through your testimony. It’s time to press forward into everything God has prepared for you.

What if you couldn’t skip the hard parts, but you could move through them faster? On Week 1 of the Forward Series, Pastor Michael Todd challenged us to stop avoiding what God is using and learn how to FAST FORWARD into the future He’s prepared for us. Forward doesn’t go around opposition, it goes through it. In this message, we learn how fasting helps us move faster through discomfort, distraction, and disappointment by choosing surrender, obedience, and the courage to D.A.R.E. again. As we reset, God is calling us to release fear, pick up faith, and move forward faster.

VISION SUNDAY // VISION IS MOST VALUABLE // PASTOR MICHAEL TODD
Do you have a clear vision of who God has called you to be? Scripture tells us that without vision, people perish but with vision, we gain clarity and can run forward with purpose. On Vision Sunday, Pastor Michael Todd shared four powerful truths about vision and revealed our Word of the Year: FORWARD. Vision needs a vessel, vision must be visible, vision must be vast, and vision must have a vehicle. One of the most spiritual things you can do this year is take time to write the vision God has given you. As we move forward, we’re choosing to release the past and step into the future with hope and faith for all God has ahead.

RESET SUNDAY // I WANT TO PRAY MORE , LIKE JESUS // PASTOR CHARLES METCALF
As the new year begins, many of us set New Year resolutions in hopes of building better, healthier habits. Yet only 8–9% of people actually stick with their resolutions for the entire year. So what keeps us from reaching our goals?

On Reset Sunday, Pastor Charles Metcalf reveals that lasting change doesn’t come from willpower or behavior modification; it comes through prayer. This year, we’re not interested in praying wordy, empty prayers. Our goal is to pray like Jesus.As we prepare for 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting (January 5–25), this message will teach you how to develop a prayer life that doesn’t just change your habits, but transforms you from the inside out.
