Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2)

Caterpillars go through an amazing process as they move toward maturity called metamorphosis. What starts out as an ugly and even scary worm transforms into one of the most striking creatures on the planet – a butterfly. That’s the process God had in mind when He penned the words found in Romans 12:1-2 through the Apostle Paul. And that’s the amazing process God calls us to go through as we move toward spiritual maturity.

This Summer at Pondo, we will unpack what it means to MORPH – to Live, to Love, to Transform.

Live – God calls us to Live an abundant life. (John 10:10)
Love – God calls us to Love others by serving others. (I Peter 4:10)
Transform – God calls us Transform our thoughts and actions as we mature. (Romans 12:1-2)
