As children, we’re all born with an inner desire to grow up. The same should be true for the child of God. The new heart God gives us when we put our faith in Jesus should give us the desire to leave the old ways behind and grow like him in heart, mind and character. This study about things that help a disciple’s growth, part 2, will explore more ways for disciples to grow in the character of Jesus to keep us from being stunted in our spiritual maturity.

Trials can wear us down and tempt us to grow weary, but Hebrews 12:3–11 reveals God’s good and loving purpose: He disciplines us because we are His sons and daughters. Don’t grow faint! His training is for our good, producing the peaceful fruit of righteousness so we share in His holiness.

Jesus changed his culture. Is he changing yours? Join us as we look to God’s word to learn more about the process of being transformed by him.

Have you ever heard someone say that prayer is just talking to God? Misconceptions about prayer are common, with one being that we should do all the talking ourselves. Join us as we study relational prayer and the importance of hearing from God.

As children, we’re all born with an internal desire to grow, so we pay attention to the things that help us do that. The same should be true in the spiritual realm for those who are born again through faith in Jesus. All disciples should pay attention to the things that help them grow spiritually. This message focuses on the primary thing that helps a disciple’s growth–because without this one thing–spiritual growth will be virtually impossible.
