What is spiritual formation, anyway?

from The Weekly Word from Burns · host Burns Church

The term "Spiritual Formation" gets thrown around a lot, but what does it really mean? Simply put, it's submitting to the Holy Spirit to make us more like Jesus. In this message, we explore why this process is the church's ultimate mission. We look at key passages like 2 Peter 3:18, Ephesians 4:11, and Romans 12:2 to understand the stark choice before every person: you are either being transformed or malformed. Are you content with simply "going to church," or do you desire to see Christ fully formed in your life? We examine the simple, unpopular word that underpins all of Spiritual Formation: obedience. Listen as we ask the hard questions about areas like anger, forgiveness, and worry, and commit to the simple, radical decision: Will you choose The Jesus Way? Download and listen to this vital sermon to renew your commitment to growing up "to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ."
