Pastor Ken explores the foundational elements of spiritual growth, emphasizing that bearing fruit in our faith requires more than just hearing the gospel—it demands transformation through application and service to others.
• Biblical growth comes through shifting focus from self to God
• Christians cannot grow in isolation but need community
• Our spiritual gifts are given to serve others, not ourselves
• Service to other believers is ultimately service to God
• Showing mercy and love must be done with genuine cheerfulness
• Seeking personal vengeance is unnecessary—justice belongs to God
• Knowledge of God must be followed by action to receive more knowledge
• Christian growth follows a cycle: knowledge → action → more knowledge
• Believers must stay rooted in faith to continue growing
• No sin is too great that God won't welcome us back when we repent
