Growing up. That term can be used to mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. In this lesson I seek to uncover why it seems many Christians never make it past the most basic levels of maturity in Christ.
This is a touchy subject, because no one ever truly wants to admit their own immaturity; however, it is something that we all deal with in our walk with God, and something that we all must outgrow.
Although I’m sure many of us can observe those around us, and even our own selves if we are willing to be honest, and recognize the fact that we may not mature as quickly spiritually as we do physically. Some of us still struggle with the same things after being Christians for many years, yet others seem to grow up very quickly.
Why is this? That is the question I attempt to answer in this lesson, and I believe it begins with gaining an understanding of the beings that God created us to be.
A sobering thought from scripture is the fact that, not only will deception come, but that we all have the capacity to be deceived. We are warned not to be deceived, and even told how it is possible for it to happen.
Probably the most common questions I’ve heard asked throughout years in ministry are “What is my calling?” or “What is my destiny?”. And for the most part, I never really felt that I could give a real answer to those questions until I realized the truths that I present in this message.
