                                                  “Grow with the Word”

Jesus answered, “It is written: People do not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God”. Today’s NIV

When our children were growing up, they looked forward to their monthly progress on their growth chart, and in seeing how each black line was marked higher as they grew physically taller. How is it with our “Spiritual Growth Charts”, how tall are we now?

Are our black lines getting marked higher and higher, or are they just stayed the same? As Jesus said, we need “bread” to live and grow, we also need the Word of God to live and also to grow…in our Eternal life, “spiritual growing” does not stop.

Covenant Presbyterian Church has planned the Adult Education Programs listed above, which can help all of us get fed and still grow in our spiritual lives and in the knowledge of God. We would like to see you there.

Psalm 103:8 The Lord is merciful and gracious; slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. 

Romans 8:38-39  For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.  Let all men know your forbearance.  The Lord is at hand.  Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

John 3:16  For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.  

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 

Isaiah 40:31-32 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
