Check Your Settings // Start Sharp (Part 3) // Michael Todd

Published 2024-01-21
It’s time to check your settings! To get the best out of any device you own, your settings must be up-to-date. In Week 3 of the Start Shap Sermon Series, Pastor Mike shows a powerful illustration of the settings we need to check and how they impact our transformation. If you’re ready to start sharp and stay sharp, it’s time to check your settings of faith, friends, and spiritual formation. In order to flourish this year, what settings do you need to update?

  • To the 1% of people who see this comment, God’s not done with you. Don’t stop, be grateful for what you have, Mark 1: 35-45 is a story of how Jesus found a leopard and the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me.” And Jesus told the man, “ I am willing, be healed.” And the man was healed. I think we forget that God is willing to heal us, we just need to ask him.
  • My mother is now in stage 4 cancer, please include her in your prayers. I'm crying right now as I type this. But I am hopeful that Lord will heal her. God bless us all!
  • @thandeka.8578
    One of my goals this year was to make more friends and this sermon confirmed for me that good friends are important in the life of a Christian. I pray that God helps me as I seek to make new friends who will keep me accountable and safe
  • @xklusivtees8750
    Mother hasn't spoken since last February due to a stroke. Pls include Beverly in your prayers. Also to gain employment so I can help with the finances for her care. I pray, petition and praise during the wait but at times I lose strength. Abba hear my cry. Amen
  • Today’s service blessed me tremendously. I knew for the longest that I needed to be physically planted in the body of Christ after attending online church for close to 2 years. Also I need friends, everything discussed in this sermon I felt like it was God talking to me. I spend A-LOT of time alone in isolation which is not good. I’m single with no children, and I’m just now starting to realize that I’m not meant to do life alone. I always thought I was just introverted but after years of being in isolation basically doing life alone, it has started to affect me in many ways I didn’t expect. I prayed to God for guidance just recently about the loneliness I am currently experiencing and I’m positive he heard my prayers and my cry and for that I am truly grateful. 🙏🏾 Thank you soooooooo much for this word it was right on time.
  • @cleomanqele8781
    I'm a single parent of two amazing daughters and I'm looking for job currently so that I can continue taking care of them. I've been listening to your sermons and learning start / sharp and strengthen my strength but it's so hard sometimes to keep the faith. I ask that you continue to pray with me🙏
  • @chriszoccali2834
    Pray for protection over this pastor and all in his heart. Hedge of protection over all.!
  • @queenvero157
    I’m so grateful for my children. They will check me quicker than anyone in my life.
  • I was getting angry having friends but I remember proverbs and read and when I want to do something new I read Matthew.
  • @crystalgal03
    I watch your sermons throughout through the week! I learn something new everyday 👏🏼🙏🏼 Praise God!!
  • @Pheonixfire2220
    I was on my way home from dropping my daughter back off at school. I was crying and I watched him the whole way home. When I tell you, I parked my car and forgot how I got home and I was shouting but I felt amazing. I don’t remember what it was it was just part of my playlist. It’s been a while but here I am. Let’s go to work. I have to sow into this church. They got it going on!!! Hallelujah
  • @averychaco8831
    I'm so glad I saw this live yesterday because the worship service before the sermon was amazing! "Nothing is impossible for my God" "Nothing at all!" I was feeling down yesterday morning but I felt so uplifted after church. And just an hour after the stream ended, I was reached out to by a company that I love and I have a job interview today! I was praying over my situation and my finances and God heard and answered. Thank you Transformation Church for inspiring faith in me again 💛
  • @JHarr83
    One of the best sermons I've heard regardless of the person preaching it. GOD spoke to me directly, and I understand what he's trying to get across. God be the Glory!!!
  • One of Michael Todd's best sermons. Its so true with what he mentioned. We live in a time where people have individualized their Christianity to avoid being with the body of Christ. Its dangerous if no one in our lives can keep us accountable. The friendship one is one the needed to be said. We need friends. The challenge is developing them deeper, but it was good that he helped us being reminded of checking our settings. For anyone reading this, environments that the Lord is removing you from, be diligent and obedient to obey God if you need to leave certain environments. Not every environment is for us. We need to be the light, but know where there are people in our lives who can lead us toward darkness.
  • @amberbeam5556
    Thank you for the reminder of not only online church but going to one. I’m from Crawfordsville Indiana and only been watching you guys, went to a church service at home yesterday. Joined their small group. I wanna grow
  • @feliciawhite1248
    I am at my best when I'm in church sitting, serving, sharing, sowing, sacrificing, and saving. I will commit to be in a setting of faith.
  • @aroharobati
    If I were in the U.S I would most definitely want to be at transformation church. So grateful for transformation nation.
  • @Ntibzozo
    “Faith without friends becomes self righteousness “ huuuu , you had me there sir 😩🙏
