"A Future with Hope - Grow" | September 21, 2025

Follow Along with the Message

Key Points

• We don’t settle. God offers more than being “a little better.” We are invited to be transformed into Christ’s likeness.

• Growth is discipleship. Worship and belonging lead us into intentional spiritual formation—through study, prayer, fellowship, and service.

• John Wesley’s vision: To be “altogether Christian” means loving God fully, loving neighbor deeply, and trusting God completely.

• Holiness is the goal. God’s aim is not just smarter or nicer people, but holy people who live and love like Jesus.

• The early church grew through teaching, prayer, breaking bread, serving, and generosity. The same practices form us today.

Pathway for Growth

• Worship weekly

• Pray daily

• Read Scripture consistently

• Join a group for learning and accountability

• Serve to make a difference

• Give joyfully and generously

Scripture

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds.” – Romans 12:2

Reflection

• Where am I settling for “good enough” instead of pursuing holiness?

• How am I intentionally creating space to grow in faith?

• What next step can I take this week on the pathway of discipleship?
