In this message, Pastor Scott concludes our series by exploring what it means to become whole, not perfect, but integrated, grounded, and moving in the right direction. Drawing from Scripture, the teachings of Jesus, and the story of Peter, this sermon challenges the belief that people are permanently broken or destined to stay stuck.

Jesus did not come only to forgive us, but to transform us. He invites us into a life shaped by truth, healed through love, and formed over time through faithful following.

This message speaks to anyone who feels worn down, fragmented, or resigned to spiritual mediocrity, and offers a hopeful vision of healing, growth, and real change through following Jesus one step at a time. Key themes in this message: * What biblical wholeness really means * Why perfection is not the goal, but direction matters * How your heart shapes the trajectory of your life * Why Jesus can be trusted as someone who truly understands reality * How transformation happens slowly, imperfectly, but genuinely * Why wounded people heal best in community

Whether you are struggling, skeptical, tired, or searching, this message is an invitation to believe that growth is possible and that Jesus knows how life actually works.
