2026 Vision Series - Part 2: Formation | Psalm 137v4-6 // September 20th, 2026
Teaching overview
On Sunday, Riley Taylor taught that following Jesus meant forming our identity in Christ while living in a culture that pressured us to conform. From Psalm 137, he encouraged us to know our identity, and who we are by knowing God, continually trusting Jesus alone for our salvation and worth, and anchor our lives in God’s ultimate victory.
Our prayer for the Community
Jesus, help us remember who we are in you and trust you alone for our worth, salvation, and hope. As we face the pressures of our culture this week, help us remain faithful to you and live confidently in the hope of your ultimate victory.

Our circumstances do not tell the whole story; our hope is grounded in God’s promise to redeem and renew all things through Jesus.
