March To Maturity

Maturity: it's something God commands, and it's something all believers want. Coded into our spiritual DNA is the desire to know God, grow our faith, study scripture, and achieve our purpose in Christ. So how do we get on the road to moving from milk to meat? In today's technology-driven environment, we must adopt a more sophisticated approach to the study of the person and character of God so that we can offer new believers and the upcoming generation practical ways to mature spiritually in an unbelieving world. March to Maturity: Grounded and Built is the first in a series on spiritual growth and offers an introduction to the mandate to mature, including a definition of Christian maturity and how to move from the carnal to the spiritual. It then offers the bases and prerequisites for "grounding and building," explaining how to become grounded and built up in God's way, in Christ, in the Word, in faith, and in love. We have a God-ordained imperative to "grow up" in Jesus. If you let it, scripture will give you a life-changing new perspective on spiritual growth. Get ready to experience the joy of existing outside of your comfort zone of belief!
