For Such a Time as This...

This lonely, broken, beautiful world is the context in which First Presbyterian Church has been called to love God and our neighbors.

By worshiping together, by deepening roots in Christ and his Word, by building relationships that matter for faith, and by seeking extravagant ways to serve our community, we long to discover meaningful spiritual life, to taste authentic community, and to bear witness to a hope greater than ourselves. Call it life in Christ, life together, and life for others.

What if it's for such a time as this that we, all of us, have been invited to trust in Jesus together and to surprise Missoula with Christ's astonishing love?

This Sunday

Worship with FPC | July 6th, 2025 | Romans 12.1-2

John Mark Comer helpfully reminds us that we are all of us going to die…

…and that, as St. Benedict saw, our life in the body is a kind of training ground for what truly matters in the grand scheme of eternity…

…so that ‘ultimately, what we’re learning is how to become a person of love, a person who is like Jesus.’

Christians have long called this process the ‘imitation of Christ.’ Today it is most often called ‘spiritual formation.’

We’re all being formed spiritually (for good or for ill) by the stories we trust, the habits we cultivate, and the relationships we embrace.

The question is Will we be spiritually formed in the Way of Jesus?

Goal two of apprenticing ourselves to Rabbi Jesus: Become like him. Comer’s definition of spiritual formation: ‘the process of being formed into people of love in Christ.’ See Romans 12.1-2.

Prayer: Draw me to yourself, Lord, today and tomorrow and tomorrow’s tomorrow. Shape me in the practice of your presence. (Trans)form me into the image of your Son, that my love might be confused with his. Amen.
