The Gift of A Renewed Mind

Hello Maple Avenue Ministries Family,

We hope this message finds you well and uplifted. On August 3, 2025, Pastor Winfred Burns II delivered an inspiring sermon titled "Gifted With A Renewed Mind," launching our new series "Gifted." This series is designed to help us realize the unique gifts God has bestowed upon us and how we can use them to fulfill His purpose in our lives. Below are key points from the sermon that we encourage you to reflect on this week:

Transformation Through Renewal: Pastor Winfred emphasized Romans 12:2, urging us not to conform to this world but to be transformed by renewing our minds. This transformation is essential for discerning God's will and living a life that is good, acceptable, and perfect.

The Grow-Up Season: We are called into a "grow-up season," where spiritual maturity means moving beyond spiritual milk to the meat of God's word. This season challenges us to apply what we've learned and live out our faith with maturity and discernment.

Community and Support: The sermon highlighted the importance of Kingdom Community, where we support and "spot" each other through life's challenges. This community helps us grow stronger in faith and live out our callings more fully.

As we move forward, let's embrace the challenge of renewing our minds and growing in our faith. By doing so, we align ourselves more closely with God's will and bring His kingdom to life in our community. Let's support each other in this journey, encouraging one another to live sacrificially and with a renewed sense of purpose.

We're blessed to have you in our community, and we hope to see you at our next gathering.

In Christ's love,

The Team at Maple Avenue Ministries
