Morehead Community Fellowship Church

I'm not talking about in ideal conditions. We know that there are ideal conditions. If you want to plant a garden, there's ideal conditions. We need the soil. We need the water. We need the sun. Right? Is that your life? Is your life ideal conditions? Mine isn't. What does it look like in real life to actually be formed by God? Can I give you a couple instances this morning? First thing is this, remaining present when nothing feels especially powerful. Here's what I mean by that. You show up to worship. You sing. It just didn't hit the way it used to. It just doesn't feel the way I thought it should feel. You walk out thinking, you know what? That that was fine. I was at church but did it matter? Can I tell you something? Formation looks like staying anyway. It looks like returning week after week not because you're chasing a feeling. Not because you're chasing a feeling but because this is where life is rooted with other people who are seeking to do the same thing. No, it might not feel especially powerful every Sunday morning but staying rooted is remaining, constantly abiding with others and being formed together as the church. It's also choosing to keep showing up and this is I'm not talking about just in a space like this right now. But keep showing up even when the emotion isn't there.
