Growing in your relationship with Jesus Christ is a journey. It is full of bumps, bruises, peaks and valleys. Come follow the way toward your Spiritual growth.

Our Sin

We all have made mistakes and messed up. This is called sin. Because of our sin, we are unable to have a relationship with God without forgiveness.

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Romans 3:23 NLT


God's Gift

God’s gift to us is forgiveness in the form of grace. We could never earn or buy God’s forgiveness – it must be given. Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice so that we could be forgiven.

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:8 NLT For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 NLT 


Our Response

We must accept this free gift of grace from God by committing our lives and heart to Jesus. 

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 NLT


A Symbol of Your Faith

Once you commit your life to Jesus, baptism shows others that you have been made new. It represents your old sinful life being washed clean because of your faith in Jesus.

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Romans 6:4 NLT

 

Celebrate Your Faith

If you’ve made the decision to follow Christ, baptism is one of the most meaningful next steps you can take. Baptism is a public celebration of your decision to follow Christ. If you are interested in being baptized, please let us know so that we can celebrate with you!

 

What’s Next?!

Congratulations! When you say “yes” to Jesus Christ, you have opened the way to eternal life, and abundant life right now. John 3:16, John 10:10. But this is just the beginning.

“The reality is - it is never going to happen by accident. Spiritual growth is intentional.” Craig Groeschel.

God wants to have a relationship with us and has given us ways to know and connect to the Spirit. As we get to know God, we better understand God’s plan and will for us and we can strive to be more like Jesus.

Here are a few ways that will help you Grow in your faith:


Read the Bible

The Bible is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living. It’s God’s Word written specifically to guide us through life.

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. Psalms 119:105 NLT 

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 NLT


Make Prayer Part of Your Day

Prayer is talking to God, and there’s nothing more powerful than asking for God’s help.

God wants to have a relationship with us and has given us ways to know and connect to the Spirit. As we get to know God, we better understand God’s plan and will for us and we can strive to be more like Jesus.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  Philippians 4:6 NLT

 

Listen

Talking to God is a two-way street – God wants to talk to us, too. Take time to learn the voice of God & the Lord will give you direction.

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 NLT

 

Worship

Any time we give God credit for the many blessings, we are worshipping. When we pray, serve, or help others in their faith, we are following God’s will and showing our gratitude for who God is.

Just like any other relationship, we need to invest time and effort into getting to know who God is and the Divine plan for our lives.

 

Connect

Life is better together. When we interact with other followers of Christ we find support and encouragement to continue in our faith. Find the S.E.E.D Grow Group that is right for you!
