Growing Things
Today we’ll continue to look at the “new things” Christ
wants for us. God’s Word says, You have
heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? “From now
on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown
to you. Isaiah
48:6
The key
is we must break through barriers to grow as God would have us.
You must develop an unshakable
conviction about growth - Colossians 2:19 He doesn't hold on
to [Christ,] the head. Christ makes the whole body grow as God wants it to,
through support and unity given by the joints and ligaments.) –
They lost
their heads to Jesus! Whose head (mind) do you follow? Jesus made it clear in Matthew 8:18-22
– When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to
cross to the other side of the lake. 19Then a teacher of the law
came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." 20Jesus
replied, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no
place to lay his head." 21Another disciple said to him,
"LORD, first let me go and bury my father." 22But Jesus
told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
What
keeps or disqualifies you from following Christ?
