Our need as Christians is to be rooted and built up in Christ. Colossians 3:1-16 shows us our need to be maintaining our roots, maintaining our walk, as we grow and mature in Christ. Friends, time is short, if we’re going to use this life for Christ, today is the day!
As we look to grow and develop in our Christian walk, we must be rooted and built up in Jesus Christ. Paul makes this clear in Colossians 2:7 and throughout 2022 we make it our goal to be encouraged in Christ as we grow, remain steadfast, and look for opportunities to serve.
There must be a priority in the Christian’s life to grow spiritually. Peter, as he writes 2 Peter 3:1-18, reminds us to make that a priority. Life will throw many challenges our way, but God is in control and let us focus on our relationship with Him and sharing the gospel with those around us!

The Israelites had a choice presented to them in Exodus 14:9-20 when they faced the Red Sea – Trust God or trust man. God never gives up on us, He is always working to grow and mature His children. Sometimes more faith is needed, but in the end, what side of the sea are you…
The need to remember that we are being watched is ever before us. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 reminds us that we’re to do all things to please God and to grow in Him as we walk through this life abstaining from the things that are not of God. Friend, will you strive to please God or…
