More Like Him: Living in the Gap

Living in the GapAugust 10, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Galatians 4:19This Sunday, RD began our fall series, More Like Him. He used the imagery of a potter shaping clay to illustrate God’s intentional, hands-on work of spiritual formation in His people. From creation to the kiln, the clay’s shaping process reflects the way God forms us for His glory, often through slow, deliberate steps and even through the refining fire of suffering. Spiritual formation is the lifelong process of being shaped into the likeness of Jesus by the Holy Spirit, in the context of Christian community, requiring surrender rather than mere self-effort. Using Peter’s story, RD warned against building identity on our love for Jesus instead of His love for us, reminding us that true formation comes through abiding in His grace. The invitation of the series is to die to self, live in deeper surrender, and let God form us into people He delights to honor, so that our lives bear fruit for His glory.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/more-like-himWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/
