The Pathway of Discipleship: Matt. 28:18-20, Phil. 3:12-14, Phil. 2:12-13

Series: Cultivate: Grace, Growth & the Life of a Disciple Preached at Growing Faith Church, Liberty NC March 15, 2026 1. The Church Prepares the Way for Sanctification (Matt. 28:18-20) 2. The Disciple Pursues the Prize of Sanctification (Phil. 3:12-14) 3. God Provides the Power for Sanctification (Phil. 2:12-13) Spiritual maturity doesn't happen by accident - it requires intentional steps and commitment. The Bible outlines three key players in this process: the church prepares the way by providing resources and community, disciples pursue growth with single-minded focus while letting go of past failures and successes, and God provides the power for transformation. True spiritual growth combines divine power with human responsibility, requiring us to actively pursue Christ while trusting God to work in us.
