"You Must Grow!"

¹⁸ Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 3:18 (NLT) 

Spiritual Growth Is…

1. POSSIBLE.

Ephesians 4:16 (NLT) ¹⁶ He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

2. GRADUAL.

LUKE 8:14 (NLT) ¹⁴ The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.

3. PERSONAL.

4. BENEFICIAL.

James 1:3-4 (NLT) ³ For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. ⁴ So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

5. RELATIONAL.

"To grow spiritually you must be in community."
