RENOVA ME I’m told this is a term that Brazilian Christians often use. It is the equivalent to our word “renovate.” It’s used to describe the renewal a person experiences when being filled with the Holy Spirit. Pastors and believers in Brazil refer to how their ministries changed, or how their lives changed, after they were “renovated.” It’s similar to how we use the word “renewal” — but I think I like their word better — because it implies a remaking, a restructuring of the heart, which is what we all need. It’s a makeover, and every person is desperate for one. I’m more convinced than ever that we cannot be effective in ministry without this constant and never-ending, continuously ongoing renovative work of the Holy Spirit. We need to be made new, and we need to be made over; and that can only be accomplished through the power of God’s Spirit. Paul said, “Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.” ~ 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NASB2020) ~

Until further notice, we will be having Family Services. No Child Care Provided

That renewal is in reality a renovation — it’s the process of transformation that God works in us until we become like Jesus. How does it happen? In 2 Corinthians 4:18, the Apostle Paul indicates that we have to look beyond what is seen, beyond the struggles and limitations of our earthen vessels, and set our eyes are the things that are not seen, the things that are eternal. continued


Everything we deal with day in and day out tempts us to focus on the temporary: money problems, health problems, relationship problems, and so on. But if we can look beyond these things, and focus instead on the presence of God, we can experience the renovating work of his Spirit.
