FOUNDATION: The Crucible of Belonging [Sanctification]
Oct 18, 2026 • Wade Bishop
In Week 6 of our FOUNDATION series, we explore sanctification—the process of becoming more like Jesus after we’ve been justified and adopted into God’s family. Through Philippians 2:12–13, we see that God uses the “crucible” of trials, pressure, and daily obedience to refine us, strengthen our faith, and form us into the image of Christ.
Sanctification is not working for our identity, but working from the identity we’ve already received in Jesus.
Scripture: Philippians 2:12–13, Galatians 5:16–17, 1 Peter 1:6–7
