Course Overview: Lesson 1 – The Vision of Spiritual Formation

______________________________________________________________________

This introductory session lays the groundwork for understanding spiritual formation, emphasizing the Holy Spirit's transformative role in shaping our inner lives to reflect the image of Christ. Participants will be invited to explore how spiritual formation begins as an internal process, cultivating the heart and mind to align with God's will and character before flowing outward into actions and relationships.

The session aims to deepen awareness of how God is actively working within us to bring about change that impacts every aspect of our being. By reflecting on their personal relationship with God, participants will identify areas where growth and healing are needed. This introspection creates a foundation for delving into spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and discernment, which nurture this inward transformation journey.

Through guided teaching and group dialogue, the session also highlights how spiritual formation is not an individual pursuit but a communal process, drawing from the support and wisdom of others on the same journey. It sets the stage for exploring a lifestyle of intentional growth in Christlikeness, encouraging participants to engage deeply and authentically with God and one another.

Everyone is welcome. God love you, No exceptions!
