Colossians 3
If you have your Bible, please turn to Colossians chapter 3. I want to talk to you today about this subject: A Whole New You.
Now how many in this room are familiar with a television show called Fixer Upper? Anybody ever seen the show Fixer Upper? Fixer Upper is a show that has a couple, Joanne and Chip Gaines. They have a company called Magnolia Homes. And they specialize in taking old, dilapidated homes and turning them into showplace homes.
Well, we had a couple in our church, Noah and Jessica Dansby. Jessica worked at our church. She met Noah at our church. They got married and they moved away, and they live in the Waco area. And not too long ago they were on the show, Fixer Upper.
Well, they had a certain budget. Their budget was $275,000. So they're going to buy a relatively inexpensive house, obviously a fixer upper, and they're going to get Chip and Joanne to work their magic on it. And this is the house that they ended up buying. It's 3500 sq. ft. And it was built in 1920. It was listed for $140,000. Noah got it for $50,000. This thing was a dive with a capital D. I mean, it just was a dump.
Chip and Joanne can work magic on a home. Now they don't work their magic for free. It was $225,000 for them to do that. But Jessica and Noah ended up with this house built with the character that is only found in an older home, and they have a beautiful new home. Now we look at it and we like shows like that because we like to see things that were old and broken down and dilapidated, and all of a sudden they're brand new. Chip and Joanne specialize in doing that to homes. Almighty God specializes in doing that in lives, to transform a life, to take a person who is old and broken down and covered up with sin and degradation and to pull him out of the muck and the mire and the slime of the sewer and set his feet on a rock, as the Scripture says, and totally change him ...
