PREACHER'S PEN
with Andrew Kelly
Fellowship is essential for growth to maturity.
Ephesians 4:15-16
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Spiritual growth does not happen in isolation.
Jesus’ plan for our individual growth is that we would minister to One another and see His whole body built up in love through serving one another.
