Become Like Him

March 3, 2024 • Dr. Robert Gorrell • Luke 8:26–30

Becoming like Jesus isn’t something just for exceptionally religious people; it’s for everyone! But it doesn’t just happen. It takes a dependable, intentional process to be formed into a person who is more and more like Jesus.

Goal #1: Be with Jesus

February 25, 2024 • Dr. Mark Foster • John 15:4–5

The people we spend the most time with have an immense influence on who we are becoming. If we want to look more like Jesus, we have to spend time with him. When we spend time with the one who loves us more than we can imagine, we are formed by God’s love into people of love.

What is a Christian?

February 18, 2024 • Dr. Mark Foster • Matthew 7:24–27

Whether we realize it or not, we are all being formed by something. For people who identify as Christians, the goal is to be formed by Jesus. But this isn’t something that happens automatically. It takes practice as we follow Jesus’ way and become his apprentices.

How to Live Differently

February 11, 2024 • Rev. Brandon Blacksten • Mark 6:31

Our lives are moving so fast, it’s difficult to live intentionally, and when the way we spend our time is out of alignment with what matters most, things start to break down. The ancient practice of sabbath can help us to step back from the chaos and begin to live differently.
