"Grow"

John 15:1-6

Dr. Gary Singleton

One of the best ways to improve any skill is to learn from a master … from someone who is an expert in that area. If you want to improve your leadership skills, study someone like Winston Churchill. If you want to be a better athlete, someone like Stephan Curry or Serena Williams can teach you some new skills. 

 

Did you know that the same principle applies to growing in godliness? You have to learn from the Master. You have to abide in Jesus.

 

For the past few weeks in our sermon series "Master Class," we have been talking about five elements that define a disciple. We are calling these five elements the “5 G’s.” So far we have covered the first two – Grace and Gather. This Sunday we will look at the third of our 5 G’s – Grow.

 

Healthy things grow, but growth doesn’t just automatically happen. Growth in godliness only happens when we abide in Jesus, and Jesus tells us how to do this in John 15:1-6.
