Nurturing Babies and Little Kids
This message is not about the children in our nursery or children's Bible class. This message is about you as a child of God. This message is about your spiritual growth from spiritual infancy to Christian maturity. Let's compare some aspects of human child development with spiritual growth.

Your Spiritual Journey
Where we get stuck… “Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.” luke8/12>14 Adolescence What’s the key to taking your next right step… “But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.” luke8/15 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” james1/2>4 Perseverance

If the fallen leader happens to be you or I, we can each relate to the fact that "bouncing back" comes also with the responsibility of teaching those who may be struggling with sin or who have been overtaken by a fault what their personal responsibility is to those who have been following or watching them.
