Sermon Topics

Are you a growing Christian?

You can only be young once, but you can be immature for a long time.

What is Maturity? Maturity is Christ-likeness. It is being like Jesus!

  1. The Mark of Maturity (1 John 2:12-14)
    • The Thrilling Wonders of Childhood (Vs. 12)
    • The Triumphant Warfare of Manhood (Vs. 13-14)
    • The Tested Wisdom of Fatherhood (Vs. 13-14)
  2. The Means of Maturity
    1. There Must be the Miracle of Life
    2. There Must be the Passing of Time
    3. Growth Requires Nourishment
    4. Growth Demands the Discipline of Exercise

We call this the Service, but it is not the Service! The Service begins when you walk out of these doors.

Some are content continuing to suck their thumb (as a Child), being served by those around them (Young Manhood); rather than discipling those around them (Fatherhood).
