Basics: Become - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 09 28 25

This week we focus on what it means to become like Jesus. Paul reminds us in Romans 12 that transformation comes as we offer our lives fully to God and allow our minds to be renewed by His Spirit. Becoming like Jesus is not just about gaining head knowledge, expecting instant change, or striving alone - it’s a lifelong process of surrender and formation within the community of God’s people. We grow as we adopt Jesus’ rhythms of prayer and dependence on the Father, share His passion for people far from God, and live on mission with Him in the world. True discipleship is slow, deep, and Spirit-led, shaping us into people who reflect Christ in both character and action.
