God wants you to grow! (Growing Up Spiritually 101)

Spiritual growth is not optional—it’s God’s design. In this teaching, we explore salvation as a new birth and the call to grow from spiritual infancy into mature, effective sons and daughters of God. Drawing from John 3, 1 Peter 2, Ephesians 4, Acts, and the life of Jesus, the message explains that we are saved by grace through faith alone, not by works—but we are saved to grow.You’ll learn why every believer begins as a spiritual baby, why growth matters to God, and how maturity makes us more useful in our Father’s business. This episode highlights the purpose of spiritual growth: learning sound doctrine, developing Christlike character, growing in prayer, walking in the gifts of the Spirit, evangelism, and serving others.The teaching also emphasizes God’s design for growth through the local church—where believers are taught, discipled, equipped, and built together. Spiritual maturity is marked by transformation, fruitfulness, and a growing responsibility to help raise others in the faith.This episode is a clear, practical call to “grow up spiritually” so we can fully participate in God’s work, glorify Christ, and live out our salvation with purpose and power.
