I Peter 2:2 “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,”
3 keys to GROWTH—
1. PAIN
2. PEOPLE
Hebrews “Spur one another on towards love and good deeds”
Proverbs 27:17 “iron sharpens iron”
1 Timothy 2:1 “the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.”
3. PRACTICE
God is more concerned with your CHARACTER than with your COMFORT.
He cares more about WHO YOU ARE than HOW YOU FEEL.
James 1:2-4 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, WHEN you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

1) Families have gifts
1 Corinthians 12: 7-11 (NLT): “A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.”
2) Families experience loss
3) Family relationships can be restored
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 “If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging symbol. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would’ve gained nothing.”
1 Corinthians 13:7, “Love NEVER gives up, NEVER loses faith, is ALWAYS hopeful and ENDURES through EVERY circumstance.”
Romans 12:10 says, “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”

Part 1 Hook
1. If you don’t know who you are you will try to be something YOU’RE NOT
2. If you don’t know who you are you won’t know WHAT TO DO
3 thoughts…
1. CONNECT yourself with God’s people
2. REMIND yourself of God’s promise
Ephesians 2:10 “I am Gods workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which he prepared in advance for me to do.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 “If anyone is in Christ they are a new creation, the old is gone the new has come”
3. Surrender yourself to God’s purposes
Ephesians 2:8-10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
