Building what lasts

Challenges believers to move beyond spiritual infancy, reject division and invest their lives in work that God can grow and sustain.

A call to grow up

  1. There should be evidence for maturity, not argument.
    • Spiritual growth shows up in character.
    • Maturity produces peace, not constant conflict.
    • Fruit is louder than opinion.
    • Growth is seen in how we respond, not how we react.
  2. Division is really immaturity disguised as passion.
    • Taking sides reveals shallow roots.
    • Loyalty to people replaces loyalty to Christ.
    • Unity requires humility.
    • Division thrives where pride is protected.
  3. Am I building my life, or using my life to build?
    • One is self-focused, the other is kingdom-focused.
    • One seeks comfort, the other seeks impact.
    • One ends with you, the other multiplies.
    • God grows what is planted for His purposes.

God brings the increase

We plant. We water. God grows. The pressure to produce is not ours to carry.

Our job is to sow, God will make it grow.

Insight

  • Growth is expected, not optional.
  • Passion without maturity leads to division.
  • We are responsible for obedience, not outcomes.
