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.

Word Ministry
Christian leadership is nothing if it is not about the ministry of the Word. In this message to a new assistant pastor and the congregation he will serve, we hear that Word Ministry is: 1. An eternal activity - while all created things perish and pass away the Word of God stands forever. It is a privilege to teach and to preach it to others. To be effective and trustworthy in this task the preacher must be careful not to be side-tracked by busy-ness. The congregation must take care that he has plenty of time and is encouraged to read and to study. There is NOTHING more important for us in the church than to be taught the Word of God. 2. A new birth ctivity - Word Ministry results in people being born again. We should humbly expect that the preaching and teching of the Word will lead to conversions. Have confidence in it and pray for it to continue. 3. A growth activity - For people to grow they need wholesome nutritious food; Christians need to be nurtured in their spiritual growth with good quality spiritual food. We are to "crave" spiritual milk - how much to you REALLY want it?? - that strong desire, hunger for more, is a sign of spiritual vigour. Therefore the church must encourage all teachers of the Word that they are empowered to provide that eagerly desired nutrition. 4. A changing activity - lives are changed through the ministry of the Word - and changed lives demand attention, speaking eloquently of God's love and saving power administered through the Word.
