Week 3, Jan 22 – Participate in Spiritual Growth Opportunities
Pastor Clay began week three with a quick look back at weeks 1 and 2. See our “Current Sermon Series” page for bullet points on these past weeks dealing with importance of attending worship, and giving faithfully.
If we are going to be better followers of Jesus tomorrow than we are today then we must commit to intentional spiritual growth. Biblical themes of applying discipline to your discipleship and honoring the Body of Christ were examined. We also started to unpack the idea that disciples of Jesus have roles both as students and teachers as they mature.
Some practical ideas to get you going.
1-Honest self examination is needed, and often requires help from those who know you best, to put together a realistic growth plan.
2- Try to figure out your indicators. What are the early signs you are walking with or away from Jesus?
3- Make a plan that will push you. Example: Introverts at times need to verbally share the gospel with others while extroverts sometime need to shut up and just listen. Our culture admires specialization so we would do well to remember the Apostle Paul’s words: “I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.” (I Cor 9:22)
Implications as they relate to the covenant process at Faith Fellowship.
Because your growth in Christ matters.
