Orthopraxy - Community as Formation


Listen Later

In this message, Katy taught on Jesus’ words about the narrow path that leads to life, showing how true flourishing comes not through rule-keeping or cultural definitions of success but through transformation of the heart expressed in community. She warned against the dangers of individualism and isolation, which our culture often disguises as freedom, noting that this has even infiltrated the church and contributed to loneliness. Instead, the invitation of Jesus is to walk the narrow path of life together, practicing counterformation against the currents of culture, living as family who remind one another of our identity as sons and daughters of God, and experiencing healing in the context of trusted relationships. Community becomes the setting where we are re-parented into God’s family, resist the idols of self and division, and encounter grace that restores and transforms us. The call is to step beyond comfort, risk deeper connection, and embrace life in the kingdom with others, where God’s presence brings belonging, transformation, and joy.
