The central theme of the sermon 'Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life' was that our thoughts have a powerful impact on our lives. Pastor taught us that by acknowledging the lies we believe and substituting them with the truth found in God's Word, we can demolish mental strongholds. We were reminded that our spiritual warfare is fought with divine power, not worldly methods, and that renewing our minds is key to experiencing transformation. The sermon concluded with the assurance that God's divine power and grace are sufficient for us to lead a godly life.
