The Eternal Purpose Track \ Ekklesia: Expressing Christ’s life together

5 – Grow Up, Part 3

Session Overview

This message continues looking at the things that keep us immature. In Parts 1-2, we looked at how embracing another Jesus, offense, and familiarity keep us as infants in Christ. This message builds upon what we have looked at so far and adds two more issues that keep us immature. These are negligence and pursuing our own destiny. As it relates to negligence, Scripture highlights three areas that can lead us to dullness of hearing and unbelief. These are neglecting so great a salvation, neglecting the Word of God, and neglecting the invitation to the marriage supper of the Lamb. As this message details, Jesus revealed that those who neglect the invitation to marry God’s Son do so because they are pursuing their own self-centered destiny. If we want to be a wise virgin who makes herself ready as the Lamb’s wife, we must take His wedding invitation with divine seriousness.
