“Conformed vs Transformed”
Romans 12:2 Mark 1:16-20, Romans 8:29

When we’re just going through the motions spiritually, we inevitably begin to conform to the patterns of this world rather than seeking to be transformed and conformed more and more into the likeness of Christ. It’s about becoming like Jesus.

“Good Deeds vs. Serving Jesus”
James 2:14-18, Matthew 23:27, Hebrew 3:6, Ephesians 2:8-10

When we’re just going through the motions spiritually, we may cease to serve God, or we may continue to serve, but since what we’re doing is no longer done by faith, these good deeds fall short of pleasing God and the glory of seeking to build His kingdom. It’s about building Jesus’ Kingdom.

Going Through the Motions (Tent Series)

Our hope is to have vibrant and alive faith. Yet, try as we might, it’s easy to end up going through the motions in our spiritual lives. Sometimes, without even realizing it, we can slip into living our spiritual lives on autopilot, falling into tradition and habit, doing what we think we ought to do, what others expect from us, or simply trying to appease God rather than to really know and love Him. With this series, we’ll seek to look at some of the foundational concepts of faith with fresh eyes and open hearts to avoid ending up just going through the motions.
