I’ve never written on here… but I could use some prayer for community. I need it and I know God wants that for me, but I have terrible anxiety going to church alone, and I don’t even have a home church right now. Thank you for the reminder Charles!!!!
Prayers out too you Joanna! God will reveal to you in times the right direction through the Holy Spirit and will fill you with love and comfort when you find your church and your prayers are answered. Until you find your church home continue watching online and center Jesus at the core of ur life! Everything will work out beautiful and your doing so good! Love :)
I know exactly how you feel! It took me finally realizing I was in charge of the life I created and if church community was something I wanted I had to make the step on my own to finally have the courage to attend church by myself. And once I did it it wasn’t nearly as hard as I’d imagined and I was definitely not the only one attending alone, either. 😊 sending prayers your way!
I really love Charles preachings, especially when he brings attention to anxiety/panic attacks. You’re right we are enough and it doesn’t define us 💖🥹 I’ve had people tell me anxiety means we don’t trust God, but I refuse to believe that. Thank you TC for changing my Christian Life.
I am a Holy Rebel. I refuse to live in shame. Today, I release the shame of my past and stand confidently knowing that my past in forgiven. God has a plan for my future. I refuse to be bitter. No matter what culture says. I will not allow the sin of offence to take root in my soul. I will live my life to be a blessing to everyone I come in contact with. I refuse to powerless. Today I step out of my own power and call on the power of the Holy Spirit. He is the source of my strength and in Him is everything I need for the purpose I have been given. I refuse to be alone. My purpose is not solely for me. God has put me on this earth to be in relationships with others and I will continue to take the risk of relationships. I will not back down. I will not quit. Because I was created with the power and the purpose to stand up and to stand out. Today the Kingdom of God will be established on earth through me. A Holy Declaration Charles Metcalf-TC August 27, 2023
I refuse to. Bitter to be alone to be ashamed because Jesus is the friend that sticks closer to me than a brother. Jesus come and change me renew and restore my life. Amen.
I refuse to be alone, because I am created to stand out and to impact the world. I refuse to live in shame because Jesus went ahead of me to protect my shame 🙌🙌
Heartbreak and tears, a beautiful message, and the first time I think I am allowing myself to feel the pain of not having anyone but God walk me through hell. Praying for the right friends.
As a pansexual Christian, I still don't entirely understand why or what to do with myself but this series has helped me to start to understand more of it. Thank you pastor Charles!
Charles, thank you for staying alive. As a TC community, we have watched you go through so much and I believe your feet are now set. It wasn't easy to leave your church and come to TC and wait so long to be in the front. We are so thankful for you brother.
This is my favorite excuse not to meet new people. "I'm an introvert. " Heavenly Father's, help me to be courageous enough to step outside of my comfort zone. Amen.
What a beautiful sermon about community, This was such a powerful message and I relate so much to this. Please pray over me to receive community whether it's in church, work, or just out and about.
Only four for things that will be able give me strength and survive; 1-I refuse to live in shame. 2-I refuse to be bitter. 3-I refuse to be powerless. 4-I refuse to be alone. Am saved.
I needed this sermon today…Pull, protect, and pour 🙏🏾my music journey has been just that and I’m grateful for the friends that do just that and all the friends God continues to bring into my life
Thank you Charles. I needed this. This entire series was perfect for the point I’m going through in life. Christ genuinely brought me to this sermon on purpose. Keeping leading when you get a chance, anxiety and depression will not win.
thank you! such an incredible series pastor charles! every week has been relevant to the struggles im facing and you communicate your message in such a relatable/informative way. thank you and to all the crew that made it possible
45:39 oooooooooooooohhhh sir!!!! I was JUST having a conversation yesterday about how everyone talks about wanting to fight Eve when we get to heaven over our women trials and monthly pains but this word right HERE!!! New perspective man wow 😮💨🔥🔥🔥

When did we stop seeing community as a miracle ❤❤ taking it for granted that we have people that love us and aren’t mad at us or plotting our downfall, whilst we go through our worst, the miracle of quality moments and relationships. People that add to our peace, laughter, assurance, not our stress guilt, and self condemnation or shame.
Thank you for this message! I’ve always drowned myself in people just to feel something and in reality I didn’t trust them. It took me a long time to trust others especially pastors. It took a while and I finally found a local church who is there for me and holds me accountable for reach my Godly purpose! Community is essential and can be found in different places. Don’t expect people to be everything to you, that’s God’s place.
Hi guys can someone please pray for me. I want to be a good godly friend to the people God is going to bring. Ever since I could remember every time I have a good friendship or relationship going I end sabotaging it. I want to break this cycle. I desperately need God's help. I am now alone and I know that is a dangerous place to be in.
IDK, I just had a news flash. Even when I feel like I am alone, going through the fire there are 3 with me. The 3 Hebrew boys had a 4th man, and because of who God is, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and I am the one, because of those 3 I am never alone. ❤😊🎉.
Love ❤️ the message learned my lessons friend's have no doubtitly been frienemies, as far and wide as I could see, up close and personal. The hurt just won't stop hurting 😢anyway I still love God no matter what ❤❤❤❤❤
I pulled myself away from a lot of people cause of keeping my vow to God of not dating till I get my degree from Emily Carr. I can’t wait to make friends and meet the guy God wants me to marry (guys are just amazing!) Maybe God will have me go to the Creative Writing program at UBC and meet him there. ❤
I have a crush on him...I used 2 have a street pharmacist that looked very similar 2 him, no its not the same person but any way. His wife is so lucky I pray that they will continue 2 have a wonderful marriage. I'm still waiting 4 my man 2 come into my life. But I'm not a home wrecker.
I enjoyed this 4th teaching today. What a great way to end the series. How can I get one of those Holy Rebellion decoration cards? I definitely need that decree in my life! I have struggled to make friends, to want them, as well as to believe I’m better alone then with someone who could hurt me or use me. I currently live in Edmond OK and visit once a month. Can I get one mailed to me?
I'm going to fight my Boss lol haha 😭😆💃 x Amen the point of purpose is people. God bless 👍🙏 x Amen go into all the world, not just being with people you sre comfortable with 🙏 Finding other introvert friends lol 😆😂
@transformation church the podcast has the incorrect message up for this episode. It does not reflect this episode. Please review your podcast - thank you 🙏
@@melaniemartin730 I said this for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. I see your comment thinking he really came with the fire today, Continue on.
A “chief of staff” in the church is weird to me you never heard of Peter calling himself chief of anything because it's not wise to exalt yourself over other believers. The Hierarchy system in the body of Christ couldn't have been the vision of the early church. You notice it says in Romans 1:16 the Gospel of Christ is the power of God to all who believe, not motivational messages, not props, not preaching discipline, not cracking corny jokes, not wearing flashy outfits, and all the silly things that go on in these institutionalized churches big and small.
Hey Brother in Christ! I get what you’re saying. I encourage you to read over Acts 6: 1-7 where the 12 disciples delegated the task of food distribution to other disciples so that they could direct their full “attention to prayer and the ministry of the word” Acts 6:4 because their purpose was different than “waiting on tables”. There is a hierarchy in a sense that we all have different purposes and we’re called to serve in different ways. The title of someone’s position just makes it easier for organization so other people know who is in charge of what. There is nothing wrong with that. The only issue that can stem from “hierarchy” is an abuse of power and we wouldn’t know who is abusing power if we’re not present in the church ☺️ so, it’s not fair to judge.
Would also like to add John the Baptist had an unusual outfit, as well. He was quite different than what the Pharisees were used to but was still used by God to prepare the way for Jesus.
@@deja1820 Matt 23:10 Jesus said the hierarchy system was how the ungodly lord over one another. , if you study the gifts in the Bible they are not titles but gifting. There’s no office of a pastor in the Bible lol it’s man made. There’s no pastor John , there’s no prophet peter, we called Paul the Apostle Paul but he never went by that title because he understood it was a gifting not an office. The early church didn’t call anyone their pastor or shepherd but Christ 😳. They referred to each other as brother, sister, beloved, saints , nobody was exalted but Christ.
@@rodney818 that’s a good verse and a great point when viewed in the correct context. I personally don’t think it’s against God to give people titles in the sense that it only defines their responsibilities (or gifting, as you put it). But I do agree with you in a sense that you shouldn’t lord your title (or gifts) over anyone or claim that your gifts were given to you by man and not God.
@@deja1820 I’m not saying God is against giving people titles, but rather there wasn’t a hierarchy system in the early church They didn’t use titles to exalt themselves over another that happened when Christianity got intertwined with Roman and Greek culture. Titles inevitably attract power-hungry, narcissistic people that’s how cults are born and abuse happens in the church. There were no celebrities in the church but rather respected men but all members were respected and encouraged to use their gifts led by the Spirit of God rather than 1 man called a paster. I encourage you study church history and how institutional churches was born beloved.
Transformation Church I need help finding a girlfriend and a black cat. I also want to go on a date. Pray for me hopefully my dreams come true. I will keep reading my Books and Bibles. Nothing is impossible Amén.

Powerful word!
This was a really good lesson. It was vitamins for my soul. This is my 3rd sitting.
I really love Charles preachings, especially when he brings attention to anxiety/panic attacks.
You’re right we are enough and it doesn’t define us 💖🥹
I’ve had people tell me anxiety means we don’t trust God, but I refuse to believe that.
Thank you TC for changing my Christian Life.
For real he hit the nose on the part where during a panic attack we be like, GET IT TOGETHER, and our body be like I can't..... 😂 I felt that
Every sermon that has been preached the last couple of weeks are literally the things I’ve been praying for God to help me with. Thank you Father 😩💕
I am a Holy Rebel. I refuse to live in shame. Today, I release the shame of my past and stand confidently knowing that my past in forgiven. God has a plan for my future.
