It's All About Growing!

This sermon explores the theme of spiritual growth based on 1 John 2:12–14, identifying three stages of maturity: little children, young men, and fathers. The emphasis is that salvation through the finished work of Jesus Christ provides permanent forgiveness, using the "perfect tense" in Greek to illustrate that sins are put away with lasting results. Believers are challenged to move beyond being mere "doorkeepers" at the threshold of their faith and instead pursue a deeper, experiential relationship with God through the Word and active service, such as witnessing and church fellowship. Ultimately, the message stresses that spiritual growth is an expectation for every believer, ensuring that no one is left behind and that all continue to overcome the wicked one as they mature in their walk with the Father.
