What is Growth?

December 28, 2025 | Pastor John Starr

Growth may sound easy, but it is something that is very difficult because it requires us to change!  Growth requires commitment, change, and intentional effort. True growth—spiritual, individual, and corporate—does not happen overnight but through consistent, small, faithful steps rooted in God’s Word.

Using Joshua 1:1–9, the message highlights how growth often comes during transitions, requires courage, depends on obedience to God’s Word, and is sustained by God’s presence. Just as Israel and Joshua had to grow individually and together to enter the Promised Land, we must also grow both personally and corporately to step into what God has prepared.
