    Recipe For Spiritual Growth

    Recipe for Spiritual Growth Text: Colossians 2:6-8, 2 Peter 1:5-11 I. Why do we need to grow? Colossians 2:6-8 explain the need for spiritual growth. A. Walk in Christ—If we are truly walking with Christ, we will grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him. B. Be rooted—as a tree seeks water deep ...read more

    When the believer grabs hold of these four faith foundations, this person becomes the most powerful person the world has ever seen!

    “Faith’s Foundations” 2 Peter 1:1-9 Everyday we place our faith in doctors and lawyers and hardly give it a thought! We tend to think that they are very intelligent most of the time.

    Just as one would drill deep into the crust of the earth for oil, we need promises that drive deep into the perplexing problems of life! This is why God gives us over 8000 promises in His Word!

    When God Doesn’t Seem To Make Sense “Penetrating Promises For Perplexing Problems” 2 Corinthians 1:20 Life has taught us “promises are made to be broken.” So we’ve learned to take promises with a grain of salt. Yet the Christian faith calls us to stake our earthly and eternal destinies upon God’s ...read more
