#498: The Process of Spiritual Growth

Loren Hicks

The Big Idea: 

Here’s something worth remembering: You and I are not who we will be. You see, God is not finished with us yet. Our transformation is not complete. There is a sanctifying work God wants to complete in all of our lives, and if we submit to God’s process, He will complete his work in us.


Main Points:

1. When God looks at you and me, he sees our potential. He knows what we can be through the power of the gospel. Jesus changes lives.
2. I’m a firm believer that spiritual transformation occurs as we take our next steps. No matter how long you have followed Jesus, there is always a next step of spiritual growth.
3. We are often more focused on what we are to do for God than what God wants to do in us. Never forget this important spiritual truth: Doing flows out of being. What we do for God is a result of who we are becoming in God. 


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Philippians 1:6 - “I am confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

John 15:5 - “…apart from me you can do nothing.”
