Ep. 140 | Transformed: Healthy Things Grow, Growing Things Change Pt. 2 - Leonardo Haro

Pastor Leonardo Haro explores the tension of transition through Jesus' words in John 16:7, "It is to your advantage that I go away." Using his personal experience coaching soccer and losing key players, he illustrates how God's transitions rarely feel like blessings initially. The sermon emphasizes that proximity to God doesn't guarantee transformation, and that God never intended His presence to be tied to places but to dwell within people. Jesus invested in people, not buildings, and the church's legacy will be the lives transformed, not structures built. This transition isn't about losing God's presence but moving from God being "with us" to "within us" through the Holy Spirit.The pastor challenges the congregation to trust God when "better doesn't feel better" and to embrace transformation rather than just transition. He emphasizes that while a new building may come, it won't define the church—what God does within the people will. The key question isn't whether they're transitioning (they already are), but whether they're being transformed and willing to release what was to receive what God is doing now.
