Sermons on Spiritual Growth (Page 2)
Are you neglecting your gift? If you’ve met Jesus in a salvation experience, then you’ve received at least one spiritual gift. To help us better understand, Bro. Jeff explains spiritual gifts and the detrimental affect that inattention has on the body of believers.
Just as Paul stressed to Timothy the importance of attending to truth, Bro. Jeff expresses how much more important that admonishment is for us today. We are nearer to end times than those apostles; our world needs the diligence of believers.
Because God wants to make us examples of love, faithfulness, and purity, we are once again challenged with the question, “If everyone followed my example, what kind of church would we be?” Bro. Jeff inspires us to do serious self-examination and surrender to God’s will for our lives.
“What the world needs in latter times is a real disciple of Jesus, and the enemy is battling for your mind.” Bro. Jeff continues discussing Paul’s list of important characteristics of real disciples. God may have you in mind to be a dedicated follower.
Focusing on the area of ministry, Bro. Jeff makes practical application of some key characteristics of the early church. Are you listening to God? Looking for opportunities? Demonstrating “holy determination?” Using your abilities? Taking action? In what kind of ministry does God want you involved?

Believer, are you cooperating with the Holy Spirit? Or does God have to take you to the wood shed? Using this tongue-in-cheek analogy, Bro. Jeff delivers an uplifting and encouraging message about God’s work to help us look more like Jesus.
Bro. Jeff continues encouraging Christians to expand their love for others. He details three requirements that a growing love needs: continuing in God’s Word, a walk like the Savior, and ministry work. We hope you benefit as much as we did from this very timely sermon.
“The love that was demonstrated for us at the cross and that was deposited in us at our conversion is being developed in us through connections, relationships. God is trying to grow and mature us in the area of love. Bro. Jeff begins this message theme by describing the connections that a growing love needs.
