Change

In this sermon, Wayne Surface explores what it means to “deposit these things” from Philippians 4:7-9 by examining the spiritual significance of change. Using the metaphor of pocket change that constantly fluctuates, Pastor Surface challenges believers to understand that small, daily decisions add up to create meaningful spiritual transformation. He illustrates how change can be good (like John Mark returning to ministry), bad (like Demas forsaking Paul), or redirected by God (like Pastor Caleb entering law). The message emphasizes that while we cannot change the past, we can change today for tomorrow, and that every small decision—every “piece of change” we give to God—makes a difference. The sermon calls believers to stop merely storing up their spiritual resources and instead invest them fully in God’s kingdom, recognizing that true change comes from valuing God as a whole in our lives rather than living piecemeal.
