The Model of the Future

About this episode

Pastor William McDowell reframes the Church's purpose and challenges individualism in the context of spiritual formation.

Pastor William McDowell continues the “Holy Year” journey by reframing what the Church truly is and why it exists. He teaches that the Church is not a spiritual gas station for individual growth, but a Spirit-formed family that embodies and displays the future Kingdom of God in the present. Pastor William unpacks spiritual formation as becoming fluent in the “language of the future” and challenges Western individualism by calling believers into a shared life that proves to the world that Jesus is Lord.
