Deep and Wide | Dr. Phil Griffin

We are not called to just grow deep in our faith. We are called to put that faith into action.In Week 1 of the Saved to Serve series, Pastor Phil teaches from Ephesians 4:7-16 and challenges us to move beyond spiritual maturity that stays inward focused. God’s design is not for believers to simply grow in knowledge, but to use what He has given us to serve and build up others.This message makes it clear that going deep and going wide are not separate callings. They are connected. As we grow in Christ, we are equipped to step into our role in the body, use our gifts, and make an impact in the lives of others.You were not saved to stay comfortable. You were saved to serve.---Sermon Notes:I.

Notice what Christians should give Christ 1) We must understand that the church is not a building, it is believers. 2) We must move beyond "serve us" to service. 3) We must prepare for combat, not comfort.---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!
