Growth

last week: look back - avoid sin, walk in grace!
this week: look back - you are growing, walk in faith!

Hebrews 10:32-39

Following Jesus gives us the ability to keep our head up as see the GROWTH He is causing in our lives

Enlighten (new life)
Endure (not giving up)
Share (community strengthened)
Sympathy (others focus, not selfish)
Joy (in spite of circumstances)
Confidence (the fruit of growth)
Promise (eyes on the future "better")

Happens as we live by Faith
Saved by Faith > Walk by Faith

2 Corinthians 5:6-7

Growth happens one opportunity at a time - we don't despise the challenges but look for the work of God to make us more like Jesus in them!
