Becoming Like Jesus
Many of us imagine spiritual growth as a steady climb upward. In reality, the journey of faith is rarely linear. It’s filled with moments of joy and struggle, clarity and confusion—times when we feel close to God and times when we are learning to trust Him again. Yet through every high and low, Jesus is faithfully shaping us into His image.
In the Becoming Like Jesus video study, Matt Chandler walks us through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5, where Jesus describes the surprising qualities that define life in His kingdom. Poverty in spirit, godly sorrow, meekness, a hunger and thirst for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and perseverance in trials—these are not traits we develop overnight. They are formed slowly as the Holy Spirit works in us and as we walk alongside others in faith.
Through these six video sessions, you’ll discover how the Beatitudes serve as a roadmap for spiritual formation, guiding believers toward a deeper, more authentic life with Christ.
