Just Say Yes
This teaching raises an issue that gets in the way of our experiencing the life God has for us. When we say "yes" to God in Christ, we sometimes think that's it, we're all set. The reality is, however, that in our past, we have already said "yes" to many things. Until we discover those, we'll struggle to experience much beyond our present life.

The Habit of Bible Study
In the book of Joshua, God gave Joshua clear instructions on how to lead His people Israel after the death of Moses. God told him that the key to success was for Joshua to become a student of God’s Word and to obey it in every detail. We can develop this habit of Bible study and experience the blessings of following and obeying God’s Word too.

Proper Discipleship
What does effective, Gospel ministry look like? Who better to ask than the Apostle Paul himself who saw successful Gospel ministry in the lives of the Thessalonian believers. In this message we learn that proper gospel ministry is hard work, requires Christian character, fatherly encouragement, and in the end it produces Christians who walk in a manner worthy of the Kingdom and Glory of God. (1 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

The Habit of Daily Devotion
In the gospel of Mark, the disciples learned to that Jesus had a habit of starting every day alone with God. If Jesus, the Son of God, calls us to follow Him, should we follow Him in His habit of daily devotion? Jesus still calls disciples today to follow Him. You can grow in your maturity as His disciple by following Him in the habit of daily devotion. The text teaches us some important ingredients to having a habit of daily devotion like Jesus.

Time to Grow Up
The apostle Paul told the Ephesian Christians that Christ had gifted the Church with leaders that were called to help them grow up. Paul challenged them to be unified in the pursuit of growing into maturity in Christ… becoming fully like Christ. We can understand this need for growing up spiritually to be fully formed in Christ.
