Some people start well in their faith; they’re excited, growing, learning and sharing. Their lives are visibly different. Yet somewhere along the way they come to the conclusion that growing up in one’s faith is optional and maturity is an elective.
Sunday we see that growing up in Christ is not discretionary; it is expected. There are great benefits to maturity and serious consequences to a failure to thrive. A quick read of Hebrews 5:11 – 6:12 will alert you that this is a must-hear study! Come prepared to learn, to grow, to be challenged, and to be encouraged in this often misunderstood passage.
Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits.” (Hebrews 6:1-3 ESV)
