Formation

As the Movement series continues, Dominic Jackson turns to the theme of formation—the lifelong process of becoming like Jesus. Rooted in Matthew 28, this sermon looks at the Great Commission as an ongoing invitation to apprenticeship. To follow Jesus is to be continually shaped: receiving and responding to God’s love, embracing his teachings, embodying his rhythms, and walking in community with others.Dominic challenges a shallow view of faith that stops at a moment and invites us into something deeper and slower. Formation is not about perfection or information—it’s about transformation over time. Like clay in the hands of a potter, or even something as ordinary as a bar of soap carved into something beautiful, our lives are being shaped every day. The question is not if we are being formed—but by what—and whether we are becoming more like Jesus.
