Growing in Depth in Spiritual Maturity- 17/1/10

Growing in Depth in Spiritual Maturity

A desire for spiritually depth- Colossians 1:9-11
-For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully.

1. Spiritually strong.
2. Walk in His ways
3. Read His word

Question???
How do we know we are good spiritually strong?
1. Know God's will.
-Colossians 1:9>
Filled with the knowledge of His will.
In all wisdom & understanding.
Diet in God's word.

2. Walk in His ways. - Colossians 1:10>
We are a walking testimony of God.

3. Stay strong in trying times. - Colossians 1:11>
From a Believer to a Follower,
From A Follower to a Disciple,
From A Disciple to a Ambassador.

Bible Study:
2 Corinthians 5:17-20
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
