Filled with Joy in Growing Christlike: 2 Peter 1:1-15 (4/19/2026)

Growing in Christ isn’t meant to feel burdensome (Matthew 11:30); though difficult at times, it’s to be joyful and steady growth. In 2 Peter 1:1-15, we’re reminded that God has already given us everything we need for a life that reflects Him. As we grow in faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, and love, we don’t just become more like Christ; we experience a deeper, lasting joy.
