Spiritual growth
Matters. God saved us with our sanctification in mind. Through His Spirit, he intends
for us to live and love more like Jesus – to grow up into salvation. We have a
part to play. Peter calls us to put away that which corresponds to our sinful
flesh and to earnestly desire God’s Word. While God uses many things to
transform us into the image of Christ, Peter suggests that God’s Word is
essential to such process. Please join with your church family in prayer as we
prepare for corporate worship on Sunday.
