Healthy for Life

In Luke 2:52, the Bible tells us that Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with man. Do you want to grow more like Jesus? This sermon series will help us evaluate how we are doing in our discipleship - or how we are doing in our journey of becoming more like Jesus.

Growing in Behaving

January 27, 2013 | Philippians 2:12-18 | discipleship

How we behave doesn’t save us, but being saved should affect our behavior.

Growing in Believing

In other words, as we follow Jesus, we can grow up to maturity in Christ’s wisdom.
