There’s something so inspiring about a renovation. Whether it’s on HGTV, Pinterest or in real life, people love to watch contractors and designers transform a worn down home into a fresh and inviting space. What if we gave that same attention to our lives? What if we prayed that God would change us from the inside out? In the Bible, Jesus showed us how to ask God for a personal renovation. His script might sound like a simple DIY, but a closer look reveals a blueprint for a dangerous prayer. Are you ready to ask God to Renovate your life? Join us for our next sermon series as we unpack the prayer that could transform our lives, our families and relationships.
