Transactional or Transformational?

March 30, 2025

Is your relationship with Jesus about what you can get, or about who He is? In a world that runs on “if/then” exchanges, it’s easy to treat God like a business partner or a genie in a bottle. We bring Him our crises but not our lives. We want the prizes He dispenses, but we don’t necessarily want Him.

In this message, Pastor Jason Britt explores the first of Jesus’ seven “I AM” statements: “I am the Bread of Life.” Just as our bodies have a biological warning system called hunger, our souls have a spiritual hunger for meaning, purpose, and acceptance. Jesus didn’t come to just fill our bellies for a day; He came to transform our hearts forever.

Pastor Jason also ties this into our Digital Fast, challenging us to look at our devices. Are they transactional tools meant to help us, or have they become transformational devices that are “discipling” us into anxiety, anger, and distraction? You are what you eat, but you are also what you dwell on.
