This week Pastor Josh continues with part three of his series titled Becoming a Modern Monk. This series brings a lot of the principles and ideals of the monastic life into our modern-day lives.
Pastor Josh makes the point that the Biblical concept of redemption is we are saved for God to share His Holy character with us. The whole point of God saving us is for Him to make us like Himself.
Philippians 3:20-21 - "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
Pastor Josh said, "When our hearts are captivated by WHO God is, everything in our life lines up properly." God wants us to change our habits so we can be transformed into the image of Christ. We need to develop habits that place us in the presence of God because that is what changes us.
