TRANSFORMED
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2
This was the theme for the Connect Conference held last week at Crieve Hall church of Christ in Nashville. This year marked the fifth year for this conference. There were some seventy sermons or Bible classes taught by men and women from congregations of the Lord’s church from across the United States. These sessions began at 8:00 AM each morning and ended each evening with a Keynote speaker. On Wednesday evening Hiram Kemp had an outstanding lesson on “Transformed By Salvation”. He began by giving a “crash course” on the book of Romans and followed that with five points how we are Transformed by salvation. In this lesson he reminded us of where we came from prior to our obedience to the gospel and where we are now after obeying God’s word and His plan of salvation.
The other keynote speakers were Justin Rogers whose lesson was titled “Transformed For The World” and Dan Chambers whose lesson was titled “Transformed Forever”.
All the lessons are on the Connect Conference website under “Videos”. I would encourage you to go to their website at www.connectcon.org and listen to these lessons. Our own Justin Morton had a great lesson on “The Goodness of God”. He asked a very thought-provoking question “We say God is Good, but do we truly believe that God is Good all the time?”
Plans are being made for next year’s conference which will be held July 29, 30, and 31. The theme will be “ONE” Lord. Faith. Baptism. Start making plans now to attend next year’s conference.
