Discovering Your Stage in Spiritual Growth

by Foothills Church on August 17, 2019

Pastor Mark taught on the 3 stages of spiritual growth in 1 John 2:12-14. In home group we will dig deeper into what it means to “overcome”, and the remarkable promises in store for those who do.

Read 1 John 2:14. What are the characteristics of the “young men”?

The Greek word “overcome” is NIKAO which means "to overpower”, or "to be victorious”.

Read John 16:33 and 1 John 5:4. How does the fact that Jesus overcame give uscourage? I mean, that’s great for Him but how does it help me? And how does our faith enable us to overcome the world?

Read Romans 12:21. Come to group ready to share from your own life, a time that you saw evil overcome by good.

In Revelation, Jesus gives 8 astonishing promises to those “who overcome”. Read them, and we will discuss each one at home group: Revelation 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:26-28, Rev.3:5, 3:12, 3;21, Rev.21:7.
