Basics of Christianity - Responsibility to Grow in Christ

Pastor Ed preaches the fourth message of a four-part series on the Basics of Christianity. After accepting Christ as his savior, Pastor Ed returned to college and sought out teachings to help him grow in God. He realized that living like he had, and returning to do the same things as in the past, would yield more pain, anguish, and sorrow. To move ourselves forward in the Christian walk, we need to take the responsibility to feed ourselves. We need to move from being spiritual infants and being bottle-fed or having someone else get the food on the spoon and spoon feeding us. At some point, we need to learn how to feed ourselves and also to have the desire to feed ourselves. As believers, we need to become intentional in our learning, our feeding, and our growing in Christ.
