In this session, Clay will focus on what Jesus says are the two greatest commandments, and how that is tied to our spiritual growth.

Think about this question; How you would explain Spiritual Growth.

Jesus had a Top Two List: Love God and Love Your neighbor: In Matthew 22:35-40 God gives us the two greatest commandments. All the others depend on these two.

Something to think about. If you want to know how someone is loving God, look at how they treat other people.

In the video we learned about Three Vital Relationship: Intimacy with God, Community with Insiders, and Influence with Outsiders. Practicing the Three Vital Relationships leads to Spiritual Growth

Who is Responsible for your Spiritual Growth, You are. Your group isn’t, they support the process by promoting accountability, belonging, and care. Your group leader isn’t they encourage and lead you. The church isn’t responsible but the church partners with you in the process.

You are Responsible for Your Spiritual Growth. Stay Engaged, Remain Curious, Take a Step.

There are five things God uses to Grow Your Faith: Practical Teaching, Providential Relationships, Private Disciplines, Personal Ministry, and Pivotal Circumstances.

Think About This: You will not passively find what you don’t actively pursue!

In this session, Clay discusses the process God uses to grow us spiritual and how we can best partner in that.

Think about this statement; Curiosity is the most powerful ingredient in Spiritual Growth.

Curiosity is the most powerful ingredient in Spiritual Growth: Knowing About God is Important, Knowing God is More Important.

Be Curious About God: Choose to Trust, Seek Understanding. If we are not challenged, we don’t change.

Be Curious About Others: Reserve Judgement, Ask Questions.

Be Curious About Yourself: Challenge your Assumptions, Seek Feedback. There are things you don’t know about you that other people do know about you.
