Faith is not static belief but a lived journey of discipleship, and the church is the place where that journey is practiced together. This sermon will explore how Jesus calls people into a way of life, not just ideas, a lifelong journey of becoming more like him. The passage naturally unfolds into: Encounter (Who do you say that I am?), Formation (daily following), Mission (losing life to find it). We are encouraged to continue on that journey, together.
