Counter-Cultural Community | The Formation Machine | Brett Koerten

In the final week, we will focus on the role of the church as a counter-cultural community. Living as a creative minority will inform our understanding of how the church can influence culture rather than merely being influenced by it. We'll explore the call to love, not like the world (1 John 2:15-17) but how living distinctly as followers of Christ can impact our broader community.

Counter-Formation | The Formation Machine | Phil EuBank

We’ll delve into the importance of spiritual practices in resisting cultural pressures and being formed by Christ. We'll discuss practices such as Sabbath, solitude, and community as essential for slowing down and creating space for God. Colossians 2:8 will guide us in understanding the importance of being rooted in Christ rather than in hollow and deceptive philosophies.

Culture's Curriculum | The Formation Machine | Phil EuBank

We live in a culture that feels like the terms and service agreement; we don’t read it before we accept it, and before we know it…it’s too late to change our mind. This week will focus on the subtle and pervasive ways culture shapes our thinking and behavior. We’ll explore the daily systems around us as major forces of spiritual formation; we'll explore how media, technology, and societal norms influence us more than we might realize. We'll look at Paul's admonition in Romans 12:2 to not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Accepting God's Power | Baptism Sunday | Phil EuBank

At a time when separation between groups of people based on their religious customs and traditions was normal and embraced, the early church saw God moving in everyone, regardless of their background. We will be challenged to see God’s capacity for that change in all of us today.

Deploy | Menlo Midweek | Jevon Washington, Mark Morinishi

Deploy | Startup Faith | Menlo Church Live Stream

Focus on the deployment and expansion of the early church through expansion. Highlight the importance of taking faith into the world and making a lasting impact. Sure, we can let our faith stay contained in our relationships and community, but aren’t we glad the early church didn’t do that? We can sellout to pressures around us and settle back into an earlier phase of development, or we can release the story of our own faith into the story God wants to write in others.
