Sermon - How Can We Grow Spiritually? - Part 1

We know that God is interested in our personal spiritual growth. It is one of the reasons we have been called to become a disciple in this age. According to dictionary.com, growth is defined as… “the act or process, of growing; development; gradual increase.” The very moment God calls us He begins a process of sanctification. He literally begins working on an individual development plan for us. Today I would like to begin a series on spiritual growth. What is spiritual growth? Why is it important, and why is it so hard to do. What should we know about the process of growth and how can we encourage it within ourselves? Let’s begin our series today by answering some of these questions… It all begins with a choice.
