Sunday, January 14, 2018 “To Pray Or Not To Pray: That Is The Question” Part 2

“Do You Really Want To Grow Up?”

“We are not meant to remain as children at the mercy of every chance wind of teaching...Instead we are meant to hold firmly to the truth in love, and TO GROW UP IN EVERY WAY INTO CHRIST…” Ephesians 4:14

Why we choose not to grow?

1 Corinthians 13 - Not just about love but about GROWTH

1. We grow when we feed on God’s Word! Matthew 4:4 Acts 20:32

Hear - Read - Study - Memorize - Meditate - Apply

2. We grow when we learn in different ways! Luke 3:18 - by listening - by watching/reading - by talking - by doing it

Job 33:14

3. We grow when we develop spiritual habits John 13:17 Hebrew 5:14 1 Corinthians 9:25 - weekly worship & teaching - smaller fellowship - daily alone time (Bible & prayer) - memorizing His Word 

4. We grow when we help each other grow Romans 1:12 Hebrews 10:24-25 

5. We grow when we expect to grow Matthew 9:29 

6. We grow when we commit to grow Jeremiah 29:13 Nehemiah 9:38 2 Corinthians 13:9 

Are You Ready to Grow?
