Kingdom Culture- Week 3November 16, 2025Teacher: Pastor Dave BrownKingdom Culture: FormationThe goal of discipleship is not information transfer. The goal of discipleship is to develop the type of relationship with Jesus that forms our character.Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?— Luke 9:23-25Whoever wants to save their life will lose it.I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor; and this was the reward for all my toil. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.— Ecclesiastes 2:10-11The work God wants to do in us requires us to look within: to look deeper and be deeply formed. Why? Because we are covertly and consistently being formed by a culture fashioned by shallowness. In short, we are being shallowly formed.—Rich VillodasEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.— Matthew 7:13-14…but whoever loses their life for me will save it.The way of following Jesus requires a steadfast refusal to get caught up in the pace, power, and priorities of the world around us. We are called to have our lives shaped by a different kind of power, pace, and priorities offered to us by God.— Rich VillodasThe 3 Steps to Breaking a Bad HabitTruthPracticeCommunityAlthough obeying rules does not lead to salvation, it can lead to formation. 3 Essential Practices for Re-formationSabbathExaminationServiceWhoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
