Let Us Grow on to Maturity!
Let Us Grow on to Maturity! Hebrews 5:11-6:3 Main Point: Messiah Jesus calls us to grow mature in our faith, therefore, we must hunger for the meat of God’s Word; by its constant use we will mature and be trained to distinguish good from evil. Are you hungering for God’s Word? I Peter 2:1-3 It’s Time to move to solid food! 1.We must make a commitment to move forward from elementary teachings, eat the solid food of God’s Word, building a foundation for maturity. (verses 5:13-6:1) *Like anything, without commitment it will fall by the wayside! ‘Leave’ and ‘go on’ (commitment) = make it a priority, do it! James 1:22-24 We need to develop an understanding of the ‘basics’ and then grow on to maturity! 2. We will mature in our faith by depending on God and practicing His Word which trains us (develops a pattern) and grows us. (verses 5:14; 6:3) Psalm 119:9-12 Psalm 119:97-104
