Pastors Note
To all my beloved brethren in the faith, that only by God's grace through the
atoning death of our Lord Jesus Christ at calvary alone can we be saved
from the fires of hell, according to His finished work of redemption at the
cross, so we can be eternally secure. Let us not be weary in serving Him, fro
in due time we will reap if we do not lose heart, for He who has called us
unto such high calling is faithful.

Introduction
What does it take for you to grow up and become spiritually mature? And why is it important for you to
grow with your salvation?
The Bible speaks a lot of verses that tells you that you need to be spiritually mature. Ephesians
4:14-15 Then we will no longer be little children, tossed like waves and blown about by every wind of
doctrine, by peoples trickery, or by clever strategies that would lead us astray. Instead by speaking the
truth in love we will grow up completely and become one with the head, that is, one with the Messiah.
There is a call for you to move forward and grow with your faith. The Lord said that we need not to
be little children, because little children are immature, they are gullible that can be easily deceived and
most of all they dont want to take responsibility but instead they only wanted to be taken care of,
someone who need to be fed, to be clothed, they dont want to lead because they only want to listen.
Grow with your faith, do the Lords ministry and be a living testimony of his greatness and start to grow
from being a baby to a matured grown up Christian.
Spiritual maturity by definition means that you need to become a fully developed Christian, a
Christian who lives righteously, steadfast and strong against temptation. And it should begin when you
accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and when you started to associate yourself as a Christian. Being a
Christian simply means that you chose to live in Christ, live his examples and do his ministries, For the
Bible said that faith that doesnt do good deeds is all alone and dead. - James2:17. So it is important for
you to grow with your salvation and start your Spiritual maturity.
In order for you to develop this Spiritual maturity in your life, you must make a choice to learn to
obey our Lord, learn to read his words and allow him to renew your mind and do all the things he
commanded to you. This In-depth Growth Program is a great help for you to start your first step for your
spiritual growth. This is designed especially for you, to help you accomplish spiritual maturity and growth.
In-Depth Growth is a comprehensive growth program designed for you to have the habits of a real
spiritually mature Christian. The program is designed as a challenge for you and has a pointing system that
could accumulate points for every challenge you accomplish. The points you accumulate will be sum up to
your group pointing system. That serves as a goal for you to attain, and your group will help you and give
you drive and encouragement to fulfill it.
These challenges are based on the acrostics of GROWTH, G-go to Church, R-read your Bible, O-obey
God, W-witness for Christ, T-talk to the Lord and Honor God through worship. The goal for you is to have
every challenge become a habit to your everyday life and become a spiritually mature Christian.Be faithful
and victorious!

Time To Think
In Old Testament times (before Jesus came), God allowed people to kill an animal
and put it on an altar as a sacrifice for their sin. The sacrifice had to be perfect
without a single spot or fault. But this sacrifice was only a sign pointing to the day
when Jesus would give His life as the real Sacrifice. When Jesus died on the cross
and rose again from the dead, His sacrifice was enough to pay for the sins of the
whole world, which means that we do not need to offer animals for the forgiveness
of our sins.
If God has given the sacrifice for our sins, what can we offer to God as a
thanksgiving? V.1
_________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________
Although we are not perfect, God has made us a living sacrifice by the grace of God.
The death of Jesus made us holy in Gods eyes.

Time To Think
Am I a true worshiper? You might be asking that to yourself the moment you read
on the passages. You might ask how could I worship God in spirit and in truth.
Worship is not what we do; it is an attitude of the heart. Thats why Jesus said that
true worshipers worship in spirit and in truth. Those who want to worship God in a
meaningful way must worship Him from their hearts (in spirit), with open honesty
(in truth).
True worship comes from our love and respect for God. The Bible says; Love the
Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. In other words,
we should love God with every part of us.
What does God want us to do with our body in 1 Corinthians 1:19-20?
_______________________________________________________________________________
When we use our body to honor him, we already worship him, more than the songs
we sing, or the dances we do, our lives is an expression of everyday worship.

We sometimes think that adults mean more to God than children all because adults
are more capable of doing something for God. But God does not see it that way.
Kids, as well as adults, matter to God. Our age doesnt matter to God but we are
important because we are His creation.
And Go also emphasized, that we need to become child-like in our faith.
How will you describe a child in honesty and trust? ________________________________

How does a child-like faith look like? _____________________________________________

child-like and we will not hinder you from coming to him, because the kingdom of
heaven belongs to you.

How can we show love towards others people when we dont feel like it?
When things are going well, its easy to love your family and friends. But what about
the times when youre feeling miserable? And what about loving people you dont
like and who irritate you? Does God really expect you to love everyone all the time?
What does God says in John 13:34? ______________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________
It may be hard to do the command of God to love the unlovable the way He loved
them, but He is always there to help you. When you feel like you dont want to love
a brother or a sister in Christ, always remember that God's love has been poured
into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us (Romans 5:5)
the Love of God that has been poured in us enables our hearts to love others as
well. We can freely ask the power of the Holy Spirit to make us love one another.

The Lords prayer shows how we should pray to God, especially when we do not
know how to, or what to pray for. Jesus began His prayer by worshiping God, then He
prayed for other things. But it doesnt mean that it is the only prayer that we should
pray. God wants us to talk personally to Him. And this is an example of personal
prayer as Jesus addressed God as Father.
The relationship between friends grows stronger as they chat and get to know each
other. You would not just say the same things over and over to your friend. In the
same way, God wants to hear the words and feelings that come from your heartand
to God, thats what makes your prayer the perfect prayer.
Start praying today and write down your prayer in your prayer notebook. Talk to the

It is not wrong to obey the rules in the Bible, but God does not want us to be trapped
in a set of rules, and do things just because a person said you must do it for the
Lord. He wants us to obey his commands through love (1John 5:3). Living by the
Holy Spirit is living by love. Let love, not rules, be the reason for everything you do.

As Jesus was climbing up to the heavens, he has said his final words to the disciples
to become witnesses for him in the world. God is also saying that to you, you are His
witness. It might seem hard to become a witness of God especially when the world
hates believers, but the disciples are willing to do what Jesus said. They know they
will one day go to heave, and so you are!
We cannot see heaven with the eyes we have now. Our eyes are not made to see
spiritual things. But that doesnt mean that heaven isnt real. When we die, or if Jesus
comes back before then, our bodies will be transformed (made new). Thenwith our
new bodieswe will be able to see just how real and beautiful heaven really is.

Paul wrote this letter to the church in the Greek city of Ephesus. He gives them
practical advice on how to act in their relationships with others.
Read Ephesians 6:1-9.

Have you noticed how fair God is? God has given everyone rules and responsibilities,
including parents, teachers and bosses. It isnt only children who have to obey and do
things for others. Paul tells us that we all need to respect one another, and we all
need to obey God. List out some people you think you should honor and respect.

__________________________________________________________________________
Honestly, it isnt easy to have the right attitude towards everyone all the time. But
trying to get out of doing your bit usually ends up with everyone getting upset. By
simply obeying your parents without questioning or grumbling, you will make their
lives easier and you will please the Lord.

Forgiving is not easy especially when we are hurting. But be reminded, that God has
always forgiven your sins even if you have failed many times. The way he forgave
you should be the way you forgive other people.
What does Matthew 18:21-22 says about forgiveness? How many times should we
forgive, if our brother and sister ask for our pardon? ____________________________

The statement does not really mean the 70x7, but God want us to forgive and forgive
until we can no longer remember how many times we have forgiven a brother. God
rejoices in your forgiving heart. It shows the same forgiving heart as the Father.

The Bible tells us that it is good to rest. In fact, God even commands us to rest!
(Exodus 20:9-11). So, if it is good to take it easy, is there really a difference
between resting and laziness? Laziness is when we dont do whats expected of us,
leaving work unfinished and doing things halfheartedly. Resting is giving our minds
and bodies a break. We rest by taking a break from our daily activities to sleep. The
Lord gives sleep to those he loves (Psalm 127:2). We rest in the Lord by spending
time with Him (Psalm 91:1). Always work hard and do your best and you will enjoy a
well-deserved rest.
What do you think you must do today? Be more industrious or have a rest? Why?

The Christian life is like living a life of a soldier, athlete and farmer. Like soldier we
want to please God, like an athlete we want to run the race with integrity, and like a
farmer we want to enjoy the harvest of our hard labor. Although the Christian life is
hard, we dont have to go it alone. Jesus, who understands our struggles and
hardships, is with us to help us all the time. In due time we will reap the harvest of
our courageousness and braveness.
Always remember: the soldier is on the winning side and his battle will be over some
day (1 Corinthians 15:57). The athlete will win a prize when he has finished the race
(Philippians 3:14). A day will come when the farmer can rest and enjoy the harvest
(James 3:18). And one day, our troubles will be over too!

All of us have run away from the Lord, but since our repentance God has shown

like Philemon, you must decide whether you will use an opportunity to get even with
someone who wronged you, or whether you will show kindness and mercy. Only you

Like the star which shines during His birth, Christ is the light that God has given us
to know the way to live our lives. Even if we are living in the dark world, his light
beams into us. Let the light of His love bring you hope and peace, and let the light of
His holiness make you pure.
And as Jesus becomes a light in your life, be a light to other people to by living as a
child of light.
Do you still have times where you think you fellowship with darkness?
_________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________
In your struggle in fellowship with darkness, always look to the bright star Jesus.
Remember But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for
anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, Awake, O sleeper, and
arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. (Eph 5:13-14).

slipping up and doing things that are wrong.
God doesnt expect us to live a sinless life and never slip up. When we put our faith
in Him, He makes us perfect by the blood of Jesus. We are sinners saved by Gods
grace. Ephesians 2:8
Do you sometimes feel unsure of your salvation? Why?

experiences hardships.
Like us, we may also feel discouraged when hardships came, because we are human,
and we also have feelings. But what is important is that we dont let our feelings of
discouragement to control our actions, so we will not quit.

In Your breath and shadow I will come close and abide
You whisper love and life divine And Your fellowship is free

Let every chain be broken from me As Im bound in Your grace
For Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light
Youre full of wisdom, power and might
And every eye will see You
