GROW


1. Down here in Mobile, we are accustom to two things in the Fall the Iron Bowl and hurricanes. In preparation for the latter we fill our pantries with can goods and water and we make sure are belongings are strapped down for torrential weather. But when it comes to our spiritual lives do we prepare ourselves when the rough waters come? This can only come through strong, living roots. We need something to hold on to when the storms come because they will come. read Psalms 1


2. Scripture tells us that roots are not good if they are dead, so our you alive and growing spiritually or are you holding on two the nourishment you got last week? Luke 13:5-7


3. When you grow spiritually what happens?

2 Cor. 10:14-16

Col. 1:10-11

2 Thes. 1:3


4. Tiger Woods & Michael Jordan are arguably the greatest athletes to ever play their sports. But they were not born the best, they spent many hours on driving ranges and free throw lines, working out, & reinventing their game. We all admire these men for their abilities that were groomed through hours of growing in the game. Yet, in our faith you and I have fallen into a lie that what we did two months ago for our devotional life was good enough for today. Read Philippians 12:12-13

Have you workout in your faith lately?
