A Call to Transformation: Matt. 4:12-25

Series: Radical Kingdom: Hidden Majesty Preached at Growing Faith Church, Liberty, NC  February 22, 2026 1. The Light of Jesus Calls Us Out of Darkness (vv. 12-17) 2. The Purpose of Jesus Calls Us Out of the Meaningless (vv. 18-22) 3. The Power of Jesus Calls Us Out of Brokenness (vv. 23-25) Jesus extends three powerful calls to every person that demand a response and promise transformation. First, He calls us out of darkness into His marvelous light through repentance - changing our minds about who controls our lives. Second, He calls us out of meaninglessness into eternal purpose, just as He transformed ordinary fishermen into world-changing disciples who would fish for souls rather than fish. Third, He calls us out of brokenness into wholeness, welcoming all who are diseased, afflicted, and broken with His healing power. Jesus isn't intimidated by our mess or darkness - He specializes in transforming lives completely when we surrender everything to follow Him.
