Israel is Stuck
a. Two ways of getting stuck.
1. Keep looking back.
2. Stay where you are.
You will never grow if you keep looking back, or refuse to move at all!
Spiritual Growth is Not an Option
1. Scripture calls us to grow and change.
2. God provide's everything we need for change.
a. Be prepared to be uncomfortable.
b.
Be prepared to take some risks.
Paul's Final Advice to the Thessalonians
1.
This advice is God's will for us!
2. This advice is the key to growing in Christ.
a. Being full of joy, constantly prayerful, and thankful always is the posture we need in order to grow in Christ!
3. We need the Holy Spirit to show us the way, and produce this type of heart.
Big Idea: Looking back, or staying in the same place doesn't produce growth.
The scriptures tell us that getting stuck is NOT the will of God.
God's will for us is to grow mature in Christ Jesus.
