The Pattern Son

This sermon explores the disciples' profound question "What manner of man is this?" after Jesus calmed the storm. Pastor Rob emphasizes that understanding who Jesus is directly shapes our understanding of who we are as believers. Through storms, adversities, and challenging circumstances, God reveals the person of Jesus Christ and conforms us to His image. The message challenges believers to move beyond mediocre Christianity and rediscover awe and wonder at Jesus, recognizing that we are being transformed into His likeness. The sermon connects the account of Ruth with the believer's journey, showing how encounters with Jesus at His feet bring transformation. Ultimately, God is preparing a bride without spot or wrinkle, and both Jesus sanctifies us and we participate by making ourselves ready.
