Hey everyone I’m Pastor Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.
This year our goal is to release a new video / Podcast every Monday Wednesday and Friday.
To begin the new year we are starting our Friday messages with Experiencing the Great Salvation of God” this series will enlarge or concepts of what God has provided for us in and through Jesus.
He came to do something more than just give us a ticket to heaven.
This week we are talking about.
Hindrances to Spiritual Growth.
Text
1 Peter 2:2 (ESV)
2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation
Scripture Reading
1 Peter 2:1-3, 11-12 (ESV)
Introduction
A Christian life starts with. Spiritual birth experience.
You cannot begin a spiritual life merely by making some good resolutions or joining a congregation of believers.
Spiritual salvation is much more that developing excellence of character or being a member of a church.
Until you experience a birth from above, you dwell in spiritual death.
You do not have the life of God within your innermost being.
Until you are born of the spirit, you are like an unfertilised egg with the potential for spiritual birth.
God uses His divine Word to welcome you into His family.
Some refuse to receive God’s Word in faith, consequently, they deprive themselves of this spiritual birth.
Many hindrances and obstacles must be overcome if we are to grow physically from infancy to maturity.
The same is true on the spiritual level.
We would be wise to recognise some opponents that stand in our way on the pathway to spiritual maturity.
