Growing in Christ

Chris — Sun, 21 Jul 2019 11:30:40 +0000

We’ve been focusing all about Jesus in this series. So perhaps it’s no surprise that in today’s, final sermon we should focus on how to grow in Christ. Wojtek expands upon Proverbs 2 for how we should cultivate a relationship with Christ.
Spoiler alert: We have to do something. We can’t just do nothing and expect to see results.

By the way, the following week’s sermon has practical advice on how to spend time with God. Why not listen afterwards.

Paul’s example
Cultivating our relationship with Christ (we can’t do nothing).

Step 4: Seek revelation
The example of the church or corinthians
Step 5: spending time with Christ

Key quote

Cultivating a relationship with Jesus is like cultivating a garden. You can’t expect a beautiful garden if you leave it alone. But that’s how many of us treat our relationship with god.

Philippians 1:21
Proverbs 2:1-5
Ephesians 1:17
Colossians 2:2-3
