Inspiration for Aspiration: Demonstrating Growth

Sermon notes are as follows:

Don't Settle (1-5)
• Keep removing what’s wrong, keep embracing what’s right – and never settle!
• Remember – those who gossip to you will gossip about you!
• It is desperately sad when there is no hunger for the Word of God, and people fill their appetite for God with the spiritual equivalent of a pop tart.
• Spiritual growth is simply emptying sin and replacing it with the righteousness of Christ.

Don't Stumble (6-8)
• Once you have the cornerstone of your life in place, everything else in life will not just fall into place, but will make sense. If we don’t, everything is shakey until we do.
• As we stand with honor and without shame, we are less likely to stumble.

Don't Forget (9-10)
• God formed you for himself – Isaiah 43:1
• The Latin word for priest is “bridge-builder.” As a “royal priesthood,” we all have the responsibility to help build bridges across which people can meet Jesus.
• We are who we are because of who He is.
