Read: 2 Peter 3 … “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (v. 18) {{more: continue … }}
We often say our children and grandchildren grow up before our very eyes.
It saddens me to see one come to the decision of being a Christian but never developing any further. We are called to be and make disciples. We are to be fully devoted followers of Jesus who become more like him each day.Growing in Christ is an intentional and relational process whereby God graciously transforms how we think and live. This is not just for those who seek to lead; it?s the calling of every Christian.
While spiritual growth isn?t as obvious as physical growth, there are very real ways in which growth is revealed. The fruit never lies about the health of the tree. The same is true of us.Our attitudes and actions all reflect the condition of the heart, and God gives us the calling and resources to grow in him. If someone was able to capture your level of discipleship in a picture, how different would that picture look now from a year ago?What kind of changes do you hope to see a year from now? Think about it!

See you on Sunday!
