1 P A R T 1 Ready, Set, Grow!
2
3 The GOAL of the Christian life is not merely to make it to heaven......it is to become more like JESUS along the way.
4 Ephesians 4:12 NLT The responsibility of church leadership is to equip God s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God s Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.
5 Ephesians 4:12 NLT Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or because someone has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.
6 MATURE FULL-GROWN MEASURING UP...becoming more & more like Christ in every way.
7 the First MISCONCEPTION Spiritual growth is automatic once you become a Christian. The truth is, to grow spiritually, a person must desire to grow, decide to grow, then give disciplined effort to grow.
8 + + + Salvation equation Intentionality Holy Spirit s Work Time = GROWTH
9 Philippians 2:12-13 Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
10 the Second MISCONCEPTION Spiritual growth is exclusive, attainable only by a select few. The truth is, spiritual maturity is available to every believer for anyone who will get deliberate about it.
11 I Timothy 4:7 Train yourself to be godly.
12 the Third MISCONCEPTION Spiritual growth can occur quickly by finding just the right key. The truth is, Christlikeness is a journey that takes a lifetime of committed effort!
13 Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained all this But one thing I do: Forgetting what s behind and straining toward what s ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
14 the Fourth MISCONCEPTION Spiritual growth is measured by what you know. The truth is, spiritual maturity is demonstrated by loving obedience, not Biblical knowledge.
15 Jesus said, if you love me you will do what I say. JOHN 14:15
16 I Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
17 I Corinthians 13:1-3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
18 the Fifth MISCONCEPTION Spiritual growth will occur when I practice the one discipline that is just right for me. The truth is, it takes a variety of practices to produce a well-balanced spirituality.
19 Acts 2:41-47 They devoted themselves to the Apostles teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need Everyday they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts
20 For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. I I C H R ONI C L E S 1 6 : 9
