Growing into Maturity - by Jennie Buss

Two weeks ago we heard a great word from one of our leaders here at New Life - Kevin Hardwidge . Kevin spoke to us about stepping into maturity, and why this is vital for us moving forward into what God has for us as a church. 1 Corinthians 13:4 says 'Love is patient, love is kind...' Loving like God loves is a sign of maturity in the church. Our destiny as the church is to grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ - which means to become like Him in every way, not just in love but in power and authority as well. As we mature into His likeness we spread His fame through the city, and people encounter the transforming power of our risen Christ through our testimonies, through healing and through acts of love. Kevin gave us keys to maturing as a church - leaving the past behind, and being ready to embrace the new. He described how two of the tribes of Israel were reluctant to cross over into the Promised Land, preferring the familiarity and comfort of where they were. The temptation to 'settle' where we are is a reality we all have to face at some point. As followers of Christ, that is exactly what we are called to do, follow! We are not made to sit in one place and think that we've made it! God has done amazing things in New Life Church, but you know, He's got so much more for us than we see right now. We need to not hold on too tightly to our way of doing things, our meetings, our lifestyles, our habits. We need to be ready to leave behind what we need so we can grab hold of what God is giving to us. Kevin also mentioned how we need to put aside childish ways - to be mature means to not be childish any longer. Some things are acceptable in children that we would not allow as adults, and its the same in the church. As we mature as children of God, our understanding of the things of God grows, and our lives become more in line with His Word. We must be careful to not go 'backwards' and fall again into those things (sins, temptations, bad habits) which used to entangle us as new Christians. The Holy Spirit is committed to seeing Jesus formed in you, and He has started a work in you which He has promised to finish! God has exciting plans, for our good! The next season for the church will be even better than the one before!
