Series: Cultivate: Grace, Growth, & the Life of a Disciple Preached at Growing Faith Church, Liberty, NC March 8, 2026 1. The Prosperous Life is Determined by Where We Find Our Delight (Ps. 1) 2. The Prosperous Life is Committed to Growing in Discipleship (Acts 2:42-47) 3. The Prosperous Life is Powered by God's Grace Through Faith (Col. 2:6-7) True biblical prosperity isn't about material wealth but about being spiritually planted in the right place. Psalm 1 describes the prosperous person as a tree planted by streams of water, finding delight in God's Word rather than worldly pursuits. The early church in Acts 2 demonstrates six key marks of spiritual maturity: being rooted in God's Word and community, growing in prayer and worship, and reaching out through service and evangelism. This growth doesn't come through self-effort but through God's grace received by faith, like a sailboat catching wind in its sails.
