Pastor Verne preaching from 2 Thessalonians 2:15-17. We’ll learn that a way we glorify God is through our spiritual growth. Verse 15 teaches us our responsibility before God as brethren. We are to stand fast and hold fast to the truths of the Bible. Standing fast is a word of stability. Holding fast is person who is tightly gripping the truth as their own. God’s Word is meant to be received, embraced, then handed down to others in discipleship. The second aspect of your spiritual growth is your reliance on God (verses 16-17). These verses highlight the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and our God and Father. We’ll learn that God has given us the gifts of consolation and hope. Furthermore, God comforts and establishes us. God promises to hold us up and set us on a firm foundation. The application point of your spiritual growth is your life. The spiritually growing believer is described to be working for God and speaking God’s Word.
