Autoplay: Week Two

This Week's Big Idea

We are all being formed by something. The question isn't if you're being shaped - it's what is shaping you.

Key Verse

"Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind..."Romans 12:2

God's mercy comes first.

Before God asks us to change, He reminds us of His grace.

Worship is more than a song.

A surrendered life is our worship. Are we living that kind of life? What are we giving our attention, time, and energy to?

We Are Always Being Formed

"Do not be conformed to this age..." (Romans 12:2)

There is always a pattern trying to shape how we think, what we love, and how we live.

Question: Who or what is teaching me how to think?

God Offers a Different Way

"...but be transformed by the renewal of your mind."

Transformation isn't self-improvement. It's the work of God as we continually place ourselves before Him.

What You Behold Shapes Who You Become

Psalm 115:8We become like what we worship.

2 Corinthians 3:18As we behold Jesus, He transforms us into His likeness.

Key Thought: The direction of our attention shapes the direction of our lives.

Formation Happens Over Time

It's more than the content we consume.

It's more than the habits we build.

It's about what those repeated influences are teaching us to love, believe, fear, celebrate, or normalize.

Application This Week

What you behold is what you become.

Choose to place yourself in environments that keep Jesus in front of you. One of the best ways to do that is by joining a Group, where you can grow alongside others who are helping one another become more like Jesus.
