Become like Jesus

Oaks Church is dedicated to helping you grow in the way of Jesus. Our Teaching Team has provided various resources including Bible studies, books, and podcasts to help you follow Jesus in your everyday life.

Check out these resources below along with the Formation Audit provided by Practicing the Way.

Formation

Whether we realize it or not, all of us are being formed — by our habits, relationships, the stories we believe, and our environment. This session provided by “Practicing the Way” explores the six primary forces shaping individuals: habits, relationships, stories, environment, time, and experience.

Session Exercise

Practice: Take a “life audit,” an inventory of all the forces that are forming you now and in the past.

Course Launching this Fall

In Deep Change series, we learn a way to experience spiritual depth in a shallow world. You will learn the tools to move beyond underwhelming religion and instead experience a deeply rewarding relationship with Jesus that transforms your day-to-day life.
