Grow Up

In this message, Pastor David McQueen explores the transition in the book of Ephesians from understanding the grace of the gospel to the practical call for believers to "grow up" and mature in their faith. While the commands found in scripture are rooted in God’s love and designed for our ultimate good, many people struggle with "big butts"—the various excuses involving time, fear, or personal preferences that stand in the way of obedience. The source emphasizes that every follower of Jesus shares a common calling to a holy life, which is primarily demonstrated through an eagerness to maintain unity within the church. By practicing humility, gentleness, and patience, believers can navigate disagreements on secondary issues without dividing, providing a powerful supernatural witness of God’s peace to the world. Ultimately, growing up is a lifelong journey of reclaiming obedience and putting the truth into practice to build a firm foundation in Christ.
