THE MANNER OF LIFE – The Necessity of Growth

This morning’s message centers on a passage of scripture in Philippians where Paul expressed his passion for growing in Christ. This passage will talk about an understanding that Paul had – that spiritual growth is both a responsibility and a necessity.

How would you analyze the importance of growth in your life? Is it merely something you pine for but make no efforts toward, or can you name perceivable steps you took this week? What are your means of growth? Just as with a diet you must  make conscious choices to eat certain foods or exercise a certain amount of times, what choices did you make to further your own spiritual growth? Growth isn’t an option – it’s a necessity. The key here is that the responsibility is on you.

My prayer is that each one of us takes responsibility for our own spiritual growth and plays an active role in feeding ourselves. I know this study will have a tremendous impact on each of us and our church. Enjoy this morning’s worship service.
