This sermon challenges believers to take ownership of their spiritual maturity. God expects us to grow beyond spiritual infancy, moving from the “milk” of foundational teachings to the “meat” of deeper truths. Through regular study, applying God’s Word, and practicing discernment, we develop the maturity needed to explain our hope and live faithfully. While growth comes from God, it requires intentional effort on our part to walk with Christ.

When we first learned the Bible and about our walk with God, we were fed by people who cared about us. But eventually we start to see that those tutors don't continue to feed us. That's natural because we are expected to learn to take care of ourselves. Many Christians seem to stagnate and struggle with growth at this stage because they don't have a good foundation for how to nourish themselves in God's word.
We're not talking about superheroes or setting impossible goals. This class will help you see how you can make practical life-goals and then use those goals to grow spiritually stronger.
