GROW RIGHT

2 Peter 3:18, Ephesians

 Pastor Rick Jackson

 Growth is natural but not all growth is good growth. We want our gardens to grow but we don't want big weeds (which is growth but not the right kind). We all need to grow but we need to grow in the right ways.

 I. WE MUST GROW RIGHT INDIVIDUALLY

 1. It begins with salvation by grace (Eph. 2:8-9)

2. It "buds" as we serve in good works (Eph. 2:10-13)

3. It builds as we are strengthened by being grounded (Eph. 3:14-21)

II. WE MUST GROW RIGHT COLLECTIVELY

1. It should be with the correct foundation (Eph. 2:19-22)

2. It should be with the correct faith (Eph. 4:1-6)

3. It should be with the correct form (Eph. 4:11-16)

III. WE MUST GROW RIGHT EXTERNALLY

1. By walking away from the old life (Eph. 4:17-22)

2. By walking in the new life (Eph. 4:23-29)

3. By walking the Spirit life (Eph. 4:30-5:1, 8-10, 6:13-19)
