Are You a Man? Are You a Mutt? // Relationship Goals: In Real Life (Part 3) // Pastor Michael Todd

This message is for anyone preparing for promise after pain. In Week 4 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that restoration is possible after any level of devastation, destruction, death, divorce, or disappointment. Looking at the story of Ruth, we see how she unexpectedly became a second-time single, yet God redeemed her story and restored her legacy through her relationship with Boaz. If you’ve experienced heartbreak or loss, this message will encourage you to trust God again, make faith-filled decisions, and move forward beyond disappointment. We pray it empowers you to let God take the broken pieces of your story and restore them into something greater than you imagined.Scripture References:Ruth 1:1–5 NLTRuth 1:9–11,16 NLTProverbs 3:5–6 NLTRuth 1:20–21 NLTRuth 2:1–3 NLTProverbs 31:27 NIVRuth 2:11–12 NLTRuth 3:1–6 NLTJoel 2:25 ESVMatthew 1:5 NLT

Culture has sold us a counterfeit version of love that feels exhilarating, euphoric, and full of uninterrupted bliss, pleasure and enjoyment. It’s like everyone wants to be “drunk in love.” But in Week 2 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that no one makes wise decisions while intoxicated. Using a powerful illustration with drunk goggles, Pastor Mike shows how being drunk in your soul can distort your walk, your choices, and your relationships. Rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:5–8, this message calls us to be sober in our soul so we can build relationships with clarity and wisdom. You’ll discover the four things a healthy soul must believe and gain revelation on how to build relationships that are strong, stable, and God-centered moving forward.Scripture References3 John 1:2 NKJV1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 NIV

This series has the power to change every relationship you’ve had, have now, and will ever have. In Week 1 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that the goal isn’t just chemistry—it’s healthy relationships, and healthy relationships start with healthy people. Pastor Mike unpacks the four foundational needs we all carry: to be seen, soothed, secure, and safe, and challenges us to examine our soul health. God is your soulmate—your spouse is your soul match. When you stop expecting people to fill a place only God can occupy, you make room for relationships that are whole, healed, and built to last.Culture has a lot to say about love, but this series injects God’s perspective into what culture lacks wisdom on. This message challenges us to ask the hard questions: Is your soul healthy? Are your thoughts healthy when no one else is around? Would you marry you? We pray this message and series gives you the clarity and confidence that you need to win in relationships!Scripture ReferencesMatthew 6:9-10 ESV2 Peter 1:3 NLT3 John 1:2 NJKVPsalm 19:7 NASBPsalm 25:12-13 NASBPsalms 23:1-3 NASB

What does it look like to move forward with a solid foundation? In Week 4 of the Forward Series, Pastor Michael Todd challenges us to build for the future by establishing clear standards rooted in Christ. He reminds us that sight without standards leads to self-sabotage and that going forward without the right foundation is foolish. Pastor Michael unpacks why God’s Word is the only standard that remains steady in every season and introduces The Great 8, our church’s Culture Code, as the values shaping who we are and how we build. From Crazy Faith and Generosity to Worship and Fun this message calls us to live out our faith with intention, integrity, and impact.If you’re ready to stop drifting, start building wisely, and move forward with purpose, this word will help you lay the right foundation for what God is doing next.📲 Want to be A P.A.R.T. of what God is doing here at Transformation?

What God has done is nothing compared to what He is about to do. As we move forward, we can’t stay stuck in what God already delivered us from. In Week 3 of the Forward Series, Pastor Michael Todd reveals that being delivered from something is not the same as being delivered into the promise. This message challenges us to examine where we may still be holding on to our past instead of fully walking in what God promised. We pray this word breaks false thought patterns and helps you embrace the standard God has given to guide your life forward.Scripture ReferencesPhilippians 3:12-14 NLTIsaiah 43:15-19 NLTRomans 12:2 AMPIsaiah 40:8 ESV

Is your past holding you back from moving forward? In Week 2 of the FORWARD Sermon Series, Pastor Charles Metcalf teaches us that the prerequisite for moving forward is learning how to properly place our past. Whether your past feels like a trophy you don’t want to let go of, a trap you keep returning to, or a tragedy marked by pain, shame, or grief, God is calling you forward. If you’ve been struggling with the grips of your past, this message will teach you how to remember differently, redeem what was meant to take you out, and represent God’s faithfulness through your testimony. It’s time to press forward into everything God has prepared for you.Scripture ReferencesPhilippians 3:1–4 NLTPhilippians 3:13–14 NLTGenesis 12:1–5 NLTMark 10:17–22 NLTColossians 1:13–14 NLTRevelation 12:11 NLT

What if you couldn’t skip the hard parts, but you could move through them faster? On Week 1 of the Forward Series, Pastor Michael Todd challenged us to stop avoiding what God is using and learn how to FAST FORWARD into the future He’s prepared for us. Forward doesn’t go around opposition, it goes through it. In this message, we learn how fasting helps us move faster through discomfort, distraction, and disappointment by choosing surrender, obedience, and the courage to D.A.R.E. again. As we reset, God is calling us to release fear, pick up faith, and move forward faster.Scripture References:Philippians 3:13-14 NLTPsalm 119:105 NKJVMatthew 10:14 NIV2 Timothy 1:7 KJVNehemiah 6:3 NLT

VISION SUNDAY // VISION IS MOST VALUABLE // PASTOR MICHAEL TODD Do you have a clear vision of who God has called you to be? Scripture tells us that without vision, people perish but with vision, we gain clarity and can run forward with purpose. On Vision Sunday, Pastor Michael Todd shared four powerful truths about vision and revealed our Word of the Year: FORWARD. Vision needs a vessel, vision must be visible, vision must be vast, and vision must have a vehicle. One of the most spiritual things you can do this year is take time to write the vision God has given you. As we move forward, we’re choosing to release the past and step into the future with hope and faith for all God has ahead.Scripture References:Proverbs 29:18 KJVHabakkuk 2:2 MSGIsaiah 43:15-19 NLTIsaiah 43:18-19 NLTPhilippians 3:12-14 NLT

RESET SUNDAY // I WANT TO PRAY MORE , LIKE JESUS // PASTOR CHARLES METCALFAs the new year begins, many of us set New Year resolutions in hopes of building better, healthier habits.
