Growth: The Tree's Branches

Branches reach out and grow.

Just like branches extend and grow, our spiritual growth involves extending our knowledge and deepening our spiritual practices. Engaging in spiritual disciplines, Bible study, and continual learning helps us reach higher and bear more fruit.

Inner Growth

Developing spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting, Christ-like character, confession and repentance)
Engaging in regular personal Bible study and reflection
Understanding progressive sanctification as a process of becoming more Christ-like
Pursuing holiness and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform character and conduct

Spiritual Empowerment

Teaching on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and its significance
Seeking and receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, often evidenced by speaking in tongues
Experiencing the empowerment of the Holy Spirit for service and witness

Discipleship & Mentoring

Being mentored by a mature believer
Mentoring others in their spiritual journey

Education & Learning

Attending Bible classes or other similar events
