Spiritual growth. You here this phrase often – in church, in Christian literature, in Bible study meetings. You know it’s important. But do you know what it means? Have you ever been a little confused about what exactly spiritual growth is? Well, it’s actually pretty simple. Spiritual growth is the beautiful and lifelong process of becoming more like our savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the only perfect and perfectly holy man to ever walk the earth. Through his death on the cross and resurrection, Jesus paid for our sins and made us right with God. For those who accept this free gift of salvation, our purpose is to live with God and for God, which is done through becoming more like His son and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit within us. This is spiritual growth. We are meant to be like Jesus. This is God’s desire for us.
The purpose of this year’s Disciples Conference is to make you seriously consider your spiritual growth. Are you growing in Christ? Are you becoming like Jesus? Our goal is to show you the importance of spiritual growth in your life as a Christian. We want to give you a clear understanding of what spiritual growth is, and how you can grow. The foundation of spiritual growth is the knowledge and acceptance of the TRUTH set forth in the Bible and the knowledge of who Jesus is. God calls us to be like Christ – “For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters" Romans 8:29. To become like Jesus and develop the qualities of His character, you must first know who He is and who you are in Him.
No matter where you are in your walk with God, whether you have just begun or have been living as a Christian for a while now, God has something to say to you at this conference. This is not only a time to learn about spiritual growth, but also an opportunity to be refreshed and to renew your relationship with God. Come join us for Disciples Conference 2012 and hear what He wants to share with you!
