We all have areas in our lives where we know we need to change, but why is it so hard to actually become different? We often find ourselves stuck in the same destructive patterns because we don’t want to pay the cost of real transformation. In this message from Deuteronomy 10, we explore the spiritual reality of stubbornness, the necessity of aligning our willpower with our faith, and how Jesus has the power to surgically remove our old, fleshly nature so we can step into a truly different, life-giving version of ourselves.
