Grow... Growth, or discipleship, is the personal cultivation of God’s truth, the process by which one becomes more like his Son.
Learning Opportunities
2 Peter 1.3: "For as you know Him better, He will give you, through His great power, everything you need for living a truly good life!"
John 7:24: "Think this through, and you will see that I am right."
Jesus invites us to think! He wants us thinking and learning and growing in Him. How do we know Him better? You've heard it a million times: spend time in His word. How do we grow in Him: as we open our hearts and minds to His word and the working of the Holy Spirit, we grow and mature in Him. That is, we become more and more like Him, the ultimate maturity and perfection.
Get growing! Sign-ups on the patio, or call the church office, (949) 552-1918.
