GROWING AS SONS AND NOT JUST AS MEMBERS
By PS. DONNAVEN TEO
Text: 1 Peter 1: 7 - 9

John 1:1
We have more of the Word means we have more of GOD.

Rom 10:17
We have more of the Word means we have more of FAITH.

Heb. 11:1
Now faith is….
If we are only filled by the Spirit we will blow up; if we are only filled by the WORD we will dry up. If we have the Spirit and the Word of God; we will grow up. We have to strike a balance.
We get soaked by the Word, if we get into the Word.

1 Peter 1:7-9
that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls.

Ps. 1
We shall be like the tree that is planted by the rivers of water (Jesus).

1 Peter 2:2
Desire the milk of the Word.

Every church should grow sons who make the church as ownership together with the pastor; and share his burdens.

Rom 12:2
Conform not to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind with the Word of God. Mediate on the Word of God just like cows (the curd which was vomited will be chewed again and again) Think, contemplate, and memorize the Word of God.

Conclusion
~We are the light and salt of the world. The kingdom of God is within us.

1 Peter 1:22~Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart.
