Maturing in Love

Learning that God loves you is an amazing and necessary first step for a relationship with God. Maturing in that relationship and love includes discovering how real Jesus is, how Jesus and God have equipped all believers for discipleship, and how the gifts and ministries given help Christians grow. Altogether, this helps Christians become imitators of Jesus, strengthening unity in the Body of Christ.  Verses: John 3:16; 1 John 4:9-11; Matt. 28:18-19; 5:43-48; Acts 9:3-6; Eph. 4:1-4, 11-13; 6:18; 1 Cor. 10:33-11:1; 2 Thess. 2:16; 1 Thess. 2:11-12; Rom. 14:19; Col. 1:27-29; John 14:12; 18:4  Teacher: Dave Hanson
