Built To Grow

Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

Spiritual growth is not automatic with biological age or years spent attending church; it is an intentional, lifelong process of sanctification where we grow into maturity in Christ. Preaching from 1 Peter 1:13–2:3, Pastor Jared Moore explains that standing firm during life's trials requires continuous growth. By surrendering every area of our hearts to Jesus and craving the enduring truth of God's Word, believers move from spiritual infancy to dynamic, unshakable faith.

Spiritual Growth & SanctificationMindset & Truth vs. FeelingsHoliness & Total SurrenderChristian Community & FellowshipThe Power of God's Word

Pastor's Points

1.

1. We have to grow mentally.

2.

2. We have to grow morally.

3.

3. We have to grow relationally.

4.

4. We have to grow in our understanding of God's Word.

Key Points

1.
If we are going to stand firm in our faith through trials, we cannot remain stagnant; we must grow.
2.
Salvation is an instantaneous gift received through faith, whereas sanctification is a lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus.
3.
Biological age and years spent in church do not automatically equal spiritual maturity.
4.
To grow mentally, we must gird up the loins of our mind and build our lives on God's truth rather than feelings or cultural influences.
5.
To grow morally, we must pursue holiness by giving Jesus full control and access to every 'room' of our hearts.
6.
To grow relationally, we must engage deeply in Christian community, recognizing that difficult people are often the sandpaper God uses to refine us.
7.
To grow in understanding, we must crave the pure spiritual milk of God's enduring Word rather than spending hours consuming worldly distractions.

Sermon Moments

“The goal of Bible study is not information; the goal of Bible study is transformation.”

“Salvation is an instant. Sanctification is a process.”

“Biological age does not necessarily mean that you are spiritually mature.”

“Don't build your faith or a theology on what feels true. Build your life on what God says is true.”

“Jesus gets the keys to the whole house and he gets to do the renovations.”

“Maybe, just maybe, the hardest person in your life is the sandpaper that God is using to fix you, not them.”

“Spiritual growth happens when church stops being something you attend and starts becoming a family you invest in.”

This Week

Ask Jesus daily this key question: 'What is the one step You are asking me to take right now?'

Bring a physical paper Bible and a journal to church to engage deeply with God's Word.

Establish a consistent daily Bible reading plan instead of spending hours scrolling on social media or phone apps.

Identify any hidden 'rooms' or areas of your life—such as finances, relationships, or thought life—that you have withheld from Jesus and surrender them to Him.

Refuse to build your faith or choices on feelings, measuring every decision against the clear truth of Scripture.

Invest actively in church community by intentionally greeting someone sitting alone each week.

If you feel stuck spiritually, humbly pray and cry out to God for spiritual nourishment today.

Remember This

Spiritual growth is an intentional, lifelong process of sanctification where we surrender every area of life to Jesus and grow mentally, morally, relationally, and through God's Word.

A Challenge for You

Draw a line in the sand today—admit where you are stuck, acknowledge your need to grow, and cry out to God for spiritual nourishment, knowing He will meet you right where you are.
