July 5, 2026 —  Session 6:   Being Renewed: The Slow Work of Becoming What We Were Made to Be, Romans 8:29 | 2 Corinthians 3:18 | Colossians 3:9-10 Handout — Audio Essay Focus: Salvation is not just rescue — it is restoration. God is actively reshaping us back into His image.

The Bible Is the Center of Focus Here!

General Statement God created the world, and it was very good. But sin brought disorder, devastation, and death to God’s creation and to humanity. The Old Testament tells the story of God’s patience with His rebellious covenant people and His promise to rescue sinners and restore His broken world. The New Testament announces that God has fulfilled those ancient promises, revealing His goodness and loving kindness by sending Jesus Christ, our Savior.
