We are constantly being formed and shaped by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice: to be with him, become like him, and do as he did. Come learn what it means to follow and practice the way of Jesus so that God can transform us to become like him.
🤔Sermon Reflection: The Via Dolorosa, or Way of Suffering, helps us better understand Jesus by experiencing His suffering. Christianity teaches that suffering is not God's absence, but a path to Him. Unlike other practices, we don't choose suffering; it finds us. We'll all walk this path—will it lead us to God or away? Suffering builds endurance, strength, and Christ-like character, and allows us to comfort others. Let suffering complete its work in us. Three steps: acknowledge the hurt, share it with a trusted friend, and believe God will redeem it. We all suffer; the goal is to suffer well, becoming more like Jesus.
