In a world filled with a constant flow of alternative beliefs and ideas, it’s easy to become uncertain about the truth. What we understand about God deeply impacts our daily lives and our walk with Him. In this class, we will explore the importance of sound doctrine— clear, biblical truth that forms the foundation for spiritual growth and stability. We’ll examine how a solid understanding of God’s Word helps protect us from being ‘carried away by every wind of doctrine’ and equips us to stand firm in our faith. Through studying essential doctrines, we’ll gain a deeper knowledge of God that strengthens our relationship with Him and guides us through the complexities of life. (June 1 - August 31)
May Sermon Extension Recording
Babies are adorable! Cute. Cuddly. But very vulnerable and helpless. It’s downright dangerous to be an infant. Without constant attention, a baby couldn’t survive the day.
It’s dangerous being a spiritual infant too. And what’s really dangerous is when that spiritual infancy continues not just a few weeks after becoming a new Christian but extends out 5, 10, 20 years after making a profession of faith. Prolonged spiritual infancy robs us of experiencing deep intimacy with God; it stunts our ability to become all that God has intended us to become; it makes us susceptible to the evil designs of Satan and inevitable spiritual disaster.
So how does a believer in Jesus Christ avoid spiritual infancy and grow up into a healthy mature “adult” Christian?
The truths found in Romans 6, 7, and 8 are critical to grasp if one wants to avoid spiritual infancy and grow in their faith. The Apostle Paul begins Romans 6 by asking: “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?” For Paul, struggling with sin is something a Christian doesn’t have to deal with any longer.
With these opening verses, we are introduced to some incredible truths that when properly understood will lead us out of the dangerous position of spiritual infancy towards spiritual maturity.
You are invited to a study of Romans 6-8 where we will encounter those important truths that we must AFFIRM; important truths we must ADMIT; and important truths we must ALLOW in order to move beyond spiritual infancy and experience the richness of the abundant life Jesus said He came to give us.
