Send Me | Week 4 | How Can I Change?

John Decker - February 2, 2026

Pastor John said, “We never really change until we’re uncomfortable.” Can you think of a season where God used discomfort or crisis to bring growth in your life?
Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” What does holding on to God look like in your life right now?
When God asked Jacob his name, it required honesty and confession. Why do you think honesty with God is essential for real change?
Jacob received a new identity as Israel. How does understanding your identity in Christ change the way you live, respond, or see yourself?
Which of the three action steps stood out to you most: allow God to change you, stop running, or change your thinking? Why?

“God loves you just the way you are, but He loves you too much to leave you that way.”

“We never really change until our fear of change is exceeded by the pain of staying the same.”

“God doesn’t change us by willpower; He changes us from the inside out.”
