Formed by Scripture · Hope Experience Church

Where is Jesus forming you right now?

Following Jesus is a lifelong journey of becoming. Take a few minutes to reflect on six areas of your life and find a pathway for your next season of formation.

What is formation?

Following Jesus is not simply knowing more.

You can know a great deal about Jesus and be almost unchanged by Him. Formation is what happens when what you know moves into how you actually live — slowly, over years, in the company of other people.

Learn

the way of Jesus.

Practice

the way of Jesus.

Be formed

into the likeness of Jesus.

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.”

Romans 12:2 · NLT

FORMED

Six dimensions of a life with Jesus.

Not six stages, and not a ladder. Every one of these is something a person keeps maturing in for the whole of their life — often in the one they assumed was settled.

There is no finish line. That is the good news, not the bad news.

How it works

Four steps, about ten minutes.

  1. 01

    Reflect

    Answer honest questions about your current life with Jesus. Nothing is scored and nobody else sees your answers.

  2. 02

    Discern

    One area will surface as a place Jesus may be inviting you deeper. It is a starting point for prayer, not a verdict.

  3. 03

    Follow your pathway

    Receive teaching, a practice and a real next step — shaped around the season HopeX is actually in right now.

  4. 04

    Keep becoming

    Come back in a few months. Celebrate what God has done, and ask the question again.
