There is a common belief in many Christian circles that the only growth that matters is spiritual growth. So you wind up with Christians who know bible facts, but don't know how to balance a checkbook. (The old folks would say such people were "so spiritually minded that they're of no earthly good.") In this teaching we will look at the life of Jesus from Luke 2:52. It is clear from this passage that the Holy Spirit had a broader and more comprehensive definition of growth, and we will examine the four components He outlined.

Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
