How can I grow as God expects?

Just as we grow physically, God expects us to grow spiritually as well The Bible uses this analogy many times I Peter 2:2 likens us to babies Hebrews 5:12-14 Hebrews are chastised for not growing! 1 Corinthians 3 Paul says he cannot talk to them maturely because they haven’t grown It is clear God expects spiritual growth out of his people!

Tonight, we will consider 3 practical ways we should grow Bible Study Prayer Perseverance, Endurance, Patience

Bible Study is essential for growth Busy lives, other influences hinder our growth. I Peter 2:2 God’s word is to a Christian as milk is to a baby. II Timothy 3:16 God’s word is inspired and is to teach us.

Bible Study is essential for growth Busy lives, other influences hinder our growth. I Corinthians 13 We have the completed revelation. Psalm 119:105 God’s word is a light for our way.

Prayer is essential for growth Prayer was a regular part of the lives of great Bible characters. Hebrews 4:16 It helps us to find mercy and grace in time of need Philippians 4:4-7 It helps us find peace to guard our hearts!

Perseverance is essential for growth Changes won’t happen overnight. I Timothy 4:16 Perseverance will ensure salvation for yourself and others.

Consider Yourself! Have You Grown? If not, are You willing to Change? Remember, we will give an account of our lives.
