Sermons About Growth
Explore and Adapt
Like God called Abram, God calls us to become explorers. If we are going to live the life of our dreams we must recapture the curiosity that God created us with. As followers of Christ, others who are unable to live the life of their dreams need us to live the life of our dreams. The 2nd in a three part series based on Erwin McManus's book, Wide Awake,

I'm scared
Jesus, Life Coach: “I’m scared” Reconnect – November 1, 2009 Text: John 16:33, 17:9-19; Psalm 27:1-3 Key Thought: In the face of fear, Jesus offers his followers his courage; the ability to respond with wisdom to what life brings, based on trust in God. [Jesus said,] “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” [Then Jesus prayed,] “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you. And all of them, since they are mine, belong to you; and you have given them back to me, so they are my glory! Now I am departing the world; I am leaving them behind and coming to you. Holy Father, keep them and care for them – all those you have given me – so that they will be united just as we are... And now I am coming to you. I have told them many things while I was with them so they would be filled with my joy. I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not. I‘m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. They are not part of this world any more than I am. Make them pure and holy by teaching them your words of truth. As you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world. And I give myself entirely to you so they also might be entirely yours. John 16:33, 17:9-19 (NLT)

Small Seed, Big Kingdom
Here in Matthew 13, Jesus is teaching us that God’s Kingdom would begin as something very small, very insignificant, something that would largely be overlooked by the 1st century world. Now, we can clearly see that God’s Kingdom is growing everywhere, and we know God’s power is behind this growth, however we can’t forget that… God has chosen us to bring about his kingdom.

What Is Worship?
This message focuses on the component of worship while looking at what defines worship. Is worship limited to a style of music or type of building, or can worship be something more transcendent? We explored how life is worship that extends beyond an hour on Sunday morning.

Biblical Growh Enhancement
As we drink the “sincere milk of God’s Word” (v. 2) we enhance the growth process that takes place in our lives. We grow in our understanding and realization of God’s purpose for our lives and experience a fulfillment that comes from “participating” (II Peter 1:4) in the very life of Christ.
