Isaiah 6:1-8
OUR PATHWAY TO GROWTH!
1. Attend Regularly
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. -Hebrews 10:24(ESV)
• When we gather together regularly, we create an atmosphere of encouragement and hope that we can’t experience on our own.
• Making church a regular part of my life helps us stay grounded, focused, and connected to what truly matters.
2. Connect Relationally
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11(ESV)
• Connecting with others in church creates an authentic, supportive community where we lift each other up and remind each other of our hope in Christ.
• Why CONNECT GROUPS?
• Connect groups turn church from a place you visit into a community you belong to.
3. Serve Purposefully
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10(ESV)
• When we serve with intention, it creates a ripple effect that touches both our own lives and the lives of others.
• Faith in action is where it becomes real and tangible. When we show compassion and serve others, we put God’s love into practice.
4. Give Generously
give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” -Luke 6:38(ESV)
• When we give generously, we are unlocking the door for God to do impossible
• Faithfulness in generosity allows us to step into God’s provision, trusting that He will supply what we can give.
5. Invite Boldly
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” -Romans 10:14-15(ESV)
• Church isn’t just a building; it’s a community of people who belong together. We invite others not just to a service but to a family—a place where they can find support, connection, and growth.
