Sermon Topics

How do we know when the pastor and church leaders are really doing their job?

  1. The Family – Maturity (Vs. 3:1-4)
    • What are the Marks of Maturity?
      • Diet
    • The Word of God is our Spiritual Food
      • Milk
      • Bread
      • Meat
      • Honey

– It is important that we preach the gospel to the lost; but it also important that we interpret the Gospel to the saved.
– The Mature Christian practices love and seeks to get along with others.
– When immature Christians, without spiritual discernment, get into places of leadership in the church, the results will be disastrous. We must not be the individuals who Talk Big and Live Small.
– How is this done? It is necessary for each member of the body to make his own contribution.
– As the believers grow, they build the church.
– A mature Christian uses his gifts as tools to build with, while an immature Christian uses gifts as toys to play with or trophies to boast about.
