Grow

 

The GROW department seeks to give believers deeper insight into the Word of God (rooted), and a better understanding of God and His dealings with man (grounded). In turn they can be better equipped to represent Him in their daily living and have a more meaningful relationship with God and one another (bearing fruit).

"Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the head, that is, Christ."      -Ephesians 4:14-15

"Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness."       -Colossians 2:7  (NLT)

         YOU MUST GROW

                     ...in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.- 2 Peter 3:18

         What does it mean to Grow...?

                        It means to strengthen. To develop. To mature. To elevate. To build. To increase. 

      That is simply what the Bible tells us to do. To deepen our spiritual roots. To increase our faith. To mature in our Christian life. To develop a real relationship with                Jesus. To GROW!

 

      Too many of us are just not growing. We are stuck. We want more. We need more. We know there is something out there. Something better. We all want to know        God better, deeper. We just don’t know where to start.  

                   1 Peter 2:2 (New Living Translation) Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation.


      Do you want to grow and really enjoy the full experience of your salvation? 

         This is the secret... Here it is...

 

      Study... with a group over coffee, with friends over dessert, with God on your time. 

      Pray... with those who care, with those who listen, to a God who loves you. 

      Fellowship... with those your age, with those who understand, with people like you.imgres.jpg

      Worship... with others, with your family, all alone. 

      Learn...what God has said, what God still says, and more importantly, what God says to you!

 

      Paul told the church at Colosse

            Colossians 1:10
                     All the while (doing these things) , you will grow and you learn to know God better and better

      Do you want to Grow? Then find a place. We have electives that pertain to your needs. We have Bible studies that pertain to your faith. We have small groups that       pertain to your situation. Find a place to study, pray, fellowship, worship, and learn. Find a place to where you can Grow!

            Colossians 2:7
                   Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will 

                        overflow with thankfulness.
