Who Am I Becoming?
Week 1: Who Am I Becoming
You are becoming someone. Everything you do, think, feel, own, believe, and experience is forming you, making you more of who you were created to be or less, more like Jesus or less. For the next six weeks, we’ll be exploring the basic (but not so simple) question: Who are you becoming?
Week 2: Redrawing Your Mental Map
When you invite God into your life, you are inviting Him to give you a new story, a new identity, and a new reason for living. You are inviting Him to redraw your mental map. In this message, we’ll explore this aspect of you that we call “mind.” We’ll examine why you are the way you are and think the way you think, so that you and I can begin to discover what it means for us to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Week 3: Spiritual Formation and Relationships
What is the state of your relationships? What purposes and goals do they serve? Let's explore together how relationships can be vehicles for spiritual transformation.
Week 4: Changing Your Habits to Change Your Life
Humans have the uncanny ability to perform any number of activities - even complex tasks - without thinking. One study estimates that more than 40% of our daily activities are things we do “automatically.” In this message, we'll explore how we can leverage this fascinating bit of human nature to make us more into the kind of people we are created to be.
Week 5: Toxic Environments and the Kingdom of God
We are constantly being formed by our environment. And yet, the vast majority of the time we are completely unaware of the forces shaping us. In this message, we are going to explore how ancient spiritual practices can help us recognize what our suburban world is doing to our souls so that so that we can begin to experience a better way of doing life in the Kingdom of God.
Week 6: Remember to Forget: How Jesus wants to free you from your past (Part 1/2)
For good and for bad, our past experiences shape our present reality and future possibility. In this message, we'll explore how a relationship with Jesus challenges and transforms how we think about our past. This message is part one of two. In the second part, we look at a more clinical and practical application of this teaching in an interview with Child & Family Therapist, Kelly Raudenbush.
