Moving To Maturity Pt 2 - The Foundation Of Formation

In Week 2 of our Moving to Maturity series, we talk about Formation—the reality that something is shaping you every day, either on purpose or by default. From Hebrews 5, we learn that maturity isn’t accidental; it’s discernment trained by constant practice—learning to recognize what aligns with Jesus and what subtly pulls us off course. Then we go to 2 Timothy 3, where we see Scripture isn’t just for information, but for transformation—teaching, correcting, and training us into wholeness. Finally, from John 15 and James 1, we discover that real formation happens through abiding and obeying: staying connected to Jesus so obedience becomes the fruit of relationship, not forced effort. If you’ve ever felt stuck, reactive, or spiritually inconsistent, this message will help you take practical steps toward becoming the kind of person Jesus is forming over time.
