Message: “From Waiting to Relying” from Bryan Knurek

We were created for community, and faith leads us into a relational process of formation where God uses our failures, struggles, and experiences to shape us until we find our place and purpose within our faith community. It's also in our gatherings that we are shaped. Our shared worship, in our accountability to one another, and within the safe spaces where we can be honest, vulnerable, and transparent... all of it resulting in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-7, Matthew 22:37-40, 1 Timothy 1:3-5, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 1 Corinthians 12:24-31, Hebrews 10:23-25

From Series: "Forged in Fire"

The discovery of iron and its uses changed the course of history. Iron ore is first mined and then purified. By adding carbon during the process, iron is transformed into steel, which is much stronger. Both purification and transformation require heat, fire. Just as iron is melted and steel is forged in fire, God walks us through a similar process of formation. Forged in Fire will reveal the spiritual formation process God is using to remove the impurities, make us stronger, and shape us according to his plans and purposes.
