Spring Into Spiritual Growth-Part One: Location, Location, Location

Pastor Michael presented us with a profound question.  Easter season has come to an end.  What do we do now?  The fire and excitement we so much enjoy passes and what do we have to look forward to?  Yardwork?  The heat and humidity of a long summer?  Whatever the case may be, spring is here and and there's no excuse not to make the best of it.  That's where we come in.  Nic and Dale are here to keep your spiritual growth in full bloom as we dedicate ourselves to a series all about spiritual growth and commitment.

As is said in the world of real estate, nothing is more important than location, location, location.  The decision to plant your feet and call it home is more important than any other, and wherever that may be it is vital to know that you have chosen a place where you can flourish and all the right elements are at the center of your world.  You want your home to be on solid ground.  You want your garden to be on fertile soil.  Therefore, you want your spirit to be centered on God so he can provide you with all the stability and vitality he has to offer.  

Take a look at your surroundings.  What do you see?  Look down at your feet.  Are you rooted in God's grace and mercy?  Speak to those around you.  What do you hear?  Are you in fellowship with those that want to encourage your spiritual growth or are you feeling distracted and isolated?  Sometimes hard choices have to be made.  There is no growth without pain.  We certainly do not mean that you should lose valued friendships and family, but at some point a decision has to be made.  Are you going to live for God, or let others dictate how you worship?  

Nic and Dale are here to encourage you to consider your spiritual growth.  If you came away from a passionate Easter message and are telling yourself you want more of that but just don't know what to do next.  This one's for you.  If you have  fallen away and need a little help getting back on track, have a listen.  Or, if you just need a little refresher to keep your growth on the right track, we got you.  Yes, growth is hard work, but it doesn't have to be a struggle.  It doesn't have to be a snooze.  You can have a good time getting your hands dirty, and we are proof of that.  Come along with us for the next five or six weeks and make your Spring a meaningful one.  You will not regret it.  Please don't forget to share with your friends and family.  They need a little love too.  Have a great week and keep your chin up!
