Formed by the Spirit: How to Practice Prayer, Scripture, & Your Spiritual Gifts

(Rom 12:1-8, Part 2)This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring more than just the role of a mother—we’re honoring the Spirit-formed lives that shaped us.Some of us learned to pray by watching our moms whisper blessings in the quiet. Others were taught Scripture at the dinner table, or watched a spiritual mentor serve faithfully behind the scenes. These daily practices—prayer, Scripture, and spiritual gifts—aren’t just for the spiritual elite. They are the very tools God uses to shape ordinary people into kingdom builders.In a world that’s forming us through distraction, hustle, and digital overload… what if we were formed by the Spirit instead?This week’s message dives into:-How to renew your mind through Scripture-How to make prayer a relational rhythm, not just a task-How to discover and use your spiritual gifts in communityWhether you’re a parent, a student, or just spiritually tired—this message is for anyone who wants to return to the quiet place and live with power in the public one.

“Conformed or Transformed? The Worship War In You.” (Rom 12:1-8)

Every one of us is being shaped—by our habits, our screens, our culture, and our desires.This Sunday, we’re diving into a powerful and practical message from Romans 12:1–8 called:“Conformed or Transformed? The Worship War In You.”We’ll explore the hidden forces that are forming our minds and lives—often without us realizing it—and what it looks like to live as a living sacrifice in a world of distraction, pressure, and self-optimization.Here’s what we’ll unpack:-Why you’re already worshiping something (even if you don’t realize it)-How the world subtly conforms us—and what it takes to resist-Why true worship involves your whole life, not just Sunday morningsThis message is for anyone feeling the tension between the life you’re living and the life you’re called to.

No Turning Back: The Cost + Beauty Of Real Discipleship, Luke 9:51-62

We live in a culture of convenience, distraction, and comfort. Everything is designed to minimize commitment—ghosting is normal, and long-term sacrifice feels optional. When it comes to following Jesus, we tend to want a version that fits around our schedules, not one that interrupts our lives.So the culture is louder than ever—shaping how we think, what we value, and even who we believe we are. In a world that tells us to look within for truth, to chase happiness at all costs, and to live life on our own terms, the call of Jesus cuts through with a radical invitation: ‘Come, follow Me.’ Today, we’re talking about what it means and the cost attached to real disciple to Jesus—not just in theory, but right now—in a secular age that’s constantly pulling us in the opposite direction. This isn’t just about going to church. It’s about becoming someone—someone who’s being formed by Jesus in the middle of a culture that’s trying to form us without Him. A secular worldview offers hope until life falls apart. The gospel offers hope because life falls apart.Jesus will show us in this message that the excuses aren't new. They just have better branding today.In Luke 9, people gave "good" reasons to delay following Jesus. But Jesus knew: delayed obedience is disobedience. The same is true today. Discipleship is slow, quiet rebellion against the gods of this age.
