SPEEDING UP YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Part 1

September 3, 2000

Our souls, spirits and bodies must grow and prosper in harmony! 3 John 1-4

This message is going to be a summary of the many sermons I have preached on the subject of "SPIRITUAL GROWTH." I am going to briefly touch on the many hindering elements facing Christians on a daily basis:

1. Can’t forgive and forget - Matthew 6:14-15; 18:21-35; Mark 11:22-26; 1 John 4:20-21

2. Hurts are still lingering, with grief and sorrow - Luke 23:27-34

3. Inferiority and insecurity - Matthew 26:36-68

4. You can’t love yourself - Psalm 103:1-18

5. Never measuring up to other’s expectations - John 21: 19-22

6. Failure - Psalm 51:1-19

7. Self destruction - Jeremiah 20:7-18

8. Trying to impress and please others - 1 Samuel 15:13-31

9. Still eating junk food and lack of exercise - Romans 12:1-2

Remember:  NO BODY - NO MINISTRY!

10. Lack of Faith - Hebr.11:1-6; 1 John 4:17-19

11. The spirit of Fear - 2 Tim.1:7

Do you have an ear with which to hear ?

Life is too short for grievances
For quarrels and for tears,
What’s the use of wasting
Precious days and precious years?

If there’s something to forgive
Forgive without delay
Maybe you too were part to blame,
So make it up today!

A sermon preached with conviction and fire from the Lord is worthless, unless it moves the hearers into repentance and actions, that will change their daily lives!
