What Every Christian Should Know About Spiritual Growth | David Wilkerson

from World Challenge Sermons

In this powerful message from 2nd Thessalonians 1:3-4, Pastor David Wilkerson addresses the vital topic of spiritual growth in the Christian life. Drawing from Paul's commendation of the Thessalonian church for their "exceedingly growing faith," Wilkerson provides biblical insight and encouragement for believers at every stage of their spiritual journey.Key Points:•Constant Growth Should Be Normal - If you're filled with the Holy Spirit and love Jesus, spiritual growth should be automatic, like a plant being watered•Many Are Growing Without Realizing It - Spiritual growth is often imperceptible, like watching a tree grow - you can't see it happening day by day, but it's occurring•Growth Can Happen Through Struggle - Some Christians who think they're failing are actually growing through their battles with sin and temptation•Character Issues Can Stunt Growth - Small character flaws we ignore (like temper, touchiness, or cutting remarks) can hinder our spiritual development more than we realize•Hunger and Thirst Guarantee Growth - Those who genuinely hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled, regardless of their current struggles•Self-Examination Is Essential - Christians should regularly examine themselves against God's Word to identify areas that need the Holy Spirit's workThis message offers hope to struggling believers while challenging all Christians to pursue authentic spiritual maturity through the power of the Holy Spirit. https://wcmin.us/ss250608c
